Meet Sheila Odden, the Barbie fan who’s spent an eye-watering £34,200 on her three dogs, Minnie, Maddie, and Sammie.
Sheila, 47, from Phoenix, Arizona, USA, has dedicated half of her king-sized bed to her little pals, and has bought them a whopping 6,000 outfits.
‘Sammie, Maddie, and Minnie look so cute when they are dressed up,’ said Sheila.
‘They know they look cute because they will prance and dance around – almost as if they know.
‘The dog fashion industry has grown so much. We always have to have the latest styles and rarely ever wear the same thing twice.’
Sheila, a project manager, said she and her pups are ‘so excited for the new Barbie film’, and plan to have a pink Barbie viewing party with their pals where everyone will dress up in their favourite pink ‘fits.
