Some of our top designers are starting to see a big trend. They have done the children's lines, but because of the trend that's happening now, and when I say trend, it's just a way the population is going and what direction they're going into. People are not having the big families that we had in the 40's and 50's. The mid-size family today is one or two at max and some don't even have children their entire life, so they've gone to animals. And animals become their children. And because this is what's happening, the pet industry is booming. So now your designers are starting to realize this is the market that they want to be involved in. And I think that any big designer would be smart to get involved in the pet industry. It doesn't mean they have to do a whole line of clothing, but I do think that they, you're starting to see in some of their stores a jacket or a sweater or a shirt. And they might be singles, they're not a whole line, and then a collar and a leash. These are the essentials to have a pet. And I think in the pet industry, you're starting to see more and more as you enter your Prada and Gucci and Louis Vuitton all these stores you walk in, you're starting to notice that there's a little section off to the side for your loved one.
