They dine on daily steak dinners, refuse to drink tap water, – they far prefer sparkling from a bottle – and have a wardrobe of designer clothes worth over £20,000.
Leone, 53, has no shame for spending thousands of pounds on her two dogs , dedicating £80 to Reggie and Romeo’s food each month, £45 on each of their regular grooming sessions, and an average of £300 a month on cashmere jumper and silk jackets covered in Swarovski crystals.She says the dogs love being dressed up as they’d get cold otherwise.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOUR PET: Dogs have a sense of time. It's been proven that they know the difference between a hour and five. If conditioned to, they can predict future events, such as regular walk times.
‘They refuse tap water,’ says Leone. ‘One day I had a glass of sparkling water on the side and they started drinking it. That’s when I realised [that’s what they wanted].’
Along with the expensive treats the dogs are showered in love and affection, with Leone and Steve taking them along wherever they go.Leone doesn’t work, so can stay home to make sure the pups are well looked after.
‘Romeo is like my shadow, he follows me everywhere,’ Leone tells us. ‘He loves to be the centre of attention all the time.
‘Reggie loves cuddles and giving kisses.’
While the dogs’ pampered lifestyles may raise some eyebrows, Leone says she loves spoiling the duo now that her two sons, Tyler and Bradley, are all grown up.
‘I will always do what is best for my dogs, and we have the money so why not,’ she explains. ‘We don’t spend as much on ourselves as our dogs.’
The dogs attract plenty of comments when they’re out and about, so Leone set up an Instagram to document their adventures.
One of the dogs’ more exciting plans has been put on pause, however, due to coronavirus.
Alternate Their Toys to Keep Their Interest. Just like us dogs get bored with new stuff after awhile, and this includes their toys. Keep their interest by alternating their access to them. Once your dog hasn’t seen their blue ball in a month they’ll have a brand new appreciation for it the next time it makes an appearance.
The couple are now expecting to postpone their wedding until April 2021.
