- According to the 2009/2010 National Pet Owners Survey, 62% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 71.4 millions homes. In 1988, the first year the survey was conducted, 56% of U.S. households owned a pet as compared to 62% in 2008.

- For 2010, it estimated that $47.7 billion will be spent on our pets in the U.S.

We will be constructing an estate home that is not only pet friendly, but provides a wealth of information on designing, constructing and decorating a home. People will be able to follow the project online;  provide input on everything from choosing paint colors, design concepts and even naming of some of the pets.
