There is nothing great about Chihuahua till the time you are pampering them from a distance. But owning them can make news as not everyone can afford to do it. Researchers did a survey after involving around 3,000 people and propose that maintaining one of the minuscule dogs can set you back with a hefty sum of £90,000 over its lifetime. Celebrities like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Sharon Osbourne are known for having a fad for Mexican breed.
It was witnessed that Chihuahua owners are twofold as likely as wardens of other breeds to shell out dough on fresh meat, vegetables and gravy for their dog’s meal. Also, their growing bank balances nourishes their desire to buy costly jeweled collars for their pets, stylish jeweled doggie-apparels, pet pavilion, soft beddings, and pricey accessories and dog-house. Chihuahua, known to have a life-span of 13 years is calculated to cost its owner around £6,081 a year including veterinary costs, meals, grooming, kennels and insurance.
Yes, you heard it right! Shirt is up for sale at a demanding price of £23,000 ($44,740). Swedish shirt makers Eton is an established brand known for offering the classiest shirts.

Woven from the pricey Egyptian cotton yarn, the glorious shirt flaunts tinted diamond studs plus white diamond-encrusted cufflinks that gives a dull appeal to the shirt. With that much of icing over the shirt, one doubt if the shirt deserves the price tag of £23,000. At such a price, I would like to ink a neat deal with some functional product or gadget.
