There’s no best friend like a furry best friend. Cute and cuddly, you couldn’t ask for a sweeter sidekick. And that’s why some of us like to spoil our four-legged children with lavish toys, miniature canopy beds, and cutesy doggie strollers.  So, what’s the latest, greatest, and most extreme trend in canine coddling? …. Doggie mansions! These elaborate (and expensive!) homes are sized perfectly for your pampered pooch. You can even have one designed to match your own house. Absurdly adorable or absolutely unnecessary?!  Scoff all you like, but we think these puppy palaces are simply precious. Sleeping in the dog house never sounded so appealing. ~ Lauren Barth
