Pet blogging rules!

At first, I was, like, a pet blogging conference... are you kidding me? But then I thought the pet industry must be a multimillion dollar business.  I was wrong.  It's a multibillion dollar business, and it has been for at least two decades:

Year                 Billion 2015                 $60.59 2014                 $58.04 2013                 $55.72  2012                 $53.33  2011                 $50.96  2010                 $48.35 2009                 $45.53 2008                 $43.2 2007                 $41.2 2006                 $38.5 2005                 $36.3 2004                 $34.4 2003                 $32.4 2002                 $29.6 2001                 $28.5 1998                 $23 1996                 $21 1994                 $17

So maybe I should go into pet blogging.  No, I'm just not a pet guy, to begin with.  Oh, well.
