Bubble baths are underway. Dinner is made to order. The daily itinerary? Naps, training sessions and facials.
Outside, a happy pack tears around fenced-in play areas as staff keep watch from offices overlooking the grounds. The guests are dogs. And this is their country escape.
On a sunny afternoon at Far Fetched Acres in the Hudson Valley, one eager pup worked through a training session while others mingled in thoughtfully matched playgroups.
Inside the custom-built, 10,000-square-foot postmodern barn, lavender-scented air sets the mood. Each dog has a personalized cubby stocked with food, medications, toys and detailed instructions from home.
The menu is just as tailored. Alongside provisions brought from home, the camp serves special treats such as rabbit fur and dried mackerel.
Spread across 127 acres, the retreat gives city dogs room to roam, play and get gloriously filthy. Their parting gift? A much-needed bath before heading home.

Mamdamacommie won’t be happy about this.
I like dogs but going overboard like this is stupid. Same with leaving your fortune to them in a will after you’re gone.
But the price of gas is making them vote Dem.
Those are the folks the DSA and friends like AOC should be going after to tax, not the entrepreneurs who risk everything to start a business and some are made successful and end up billionaires.
it’s none of my business how rich people spend their money. Most have earned it and can do what they like with it.
Pleasure means different things to different people.
Plus you dont have to carry me (unless you want to). 
.
while I think its stupid, how’s this anybody elses business? It’s their $$$.
Makes more sense to me than, say, owning an expensive boat does...
As long as it pisses off goat humpers, it’s okay by me.
