• Eh... they wouldn't be dressed that way if they didn't want it.
• Find me a dog that willingly wants to be dressed to look like a pumpkin.
• I once knew a poodle who thought she was quite beautiful when dressed in her rain coat and boots, but even she would have balked at the pumpkin thing.
• Jack the dog has a ridiculous reflective vest to wear when walking in the dark, and when wearing it he seems rather pleased with himself, as if he thinks he's quite the dandy. I don't know if he'd go for the pumpkin thing, but I'm guessing that a dog that objected to its costume probably made that objection abundantly clear to its people.
• I want to buy this guy a beer. Soooooo bad.
• that dog's face is eloquent with embarassment.
• A few thousand years ago, they were proud wolves. Just sayin'....
• Ok, so those dogs all look pretty silly dressed up, but you can tell these dogs know they're cool.
• Those dogs are pimpin'. They look ready for Thunderdome in those doggles.
• This is very like my girl, [Isle of] Skye, who needs no fancy dress to look bonny.
• Yeah, but don't these two look proud?
• I think it really says something for the dog's personality and training that they would let their owners dress them up like that. Sometimes it is just apathy, though. ;o)
• I hope that these people dont have children.
• hmm, every morning when i get dressed, my 105 pound, five year old male shepherd leaps onto the bed and moans and whines until i put my fluffy purple housecoat over him and tell him he's mommy big baby. he seems to think it's a very important morning ritual. /but don't let folks know because my darlin' is a bit concerned about this getting out and ruining our boy's image.
• ikc, my daughter would never be caught in my clothes. she thinks i'm too weird in my tastes. dogs are much more fun. i think that's why she has dogs instead of children, herself.
• Enough with the niceties. Here's some cats put to sleep. Warning: image of cats put to sleep. Kittens, in fact. And guaranteed to make your boss smile and say "Aaawwwww..."
• dxlifer: yeah fair enough, I think if a cat wore my clothes it would wear its tongue out afterwards trying to clean itself. Clothes for dogs is better than leashes for kids.
• If this causes the dogs stress, they can always relax through yoga.
• What is this world coming to? First, we take their toys to use for our perverted pleasures. Then we take their dignity. *shakes fist at the heavens
• ikc is right. those leashes on kids have bothered me since i was a child and watched mothers with their young ones on line. now i see troops of day care touring and attached to ropes, much akin to a chain gang. we treat our dogs like kids and kids like animals, sometimes. 'tis a strange world, indeed. bluehorse, does this sudden change of heart mean that you are forsaking your leather, studded dog collar?
• Kitties like yoga too!!
• dxlifer, I had one of those leashes as a child due to my penchant for running away and being picked up, naked but for a nappy, by the police. My mother tells me I tried to chew my way out of it. You treat a kid like an animal, you get an animal. :)
• First, we take their toys to use for our perverted pleasures. It's not our fault they don't know how to play with their toys.
• tracicle, you must be one of the walking wounded, you poor thing. do the police still bring you home in just your nappy when you abscond?
• Dx: My dog has better taste than to wear my purple faux leather, rhinestone-excrusted, nickel studded dog collar. Oddly enough, most dogs hate leashes, and a few men really love them. Strange, but true. Me, I prefer my men to be wolves in sheeps clothing. Roowoor wooof
• crap! Make that sheepish clothing. Or sheepse's clothing. something with or without correct punctuation
• i like men in sheepish clothing, myself.
• Sheepse's clothing, or goatse's clothing? I don't think I'd want to wear goatse's clothing.
• i thought the (w)hole idea of goatse was no clothing.
• Sad, but true. Someone decided to make doggy thongs.
• Now there's a practical device that every dog owner in the world will be running out to buy.
• Wouldn't it be a lot easier, you know, not to feed the dog stuff that makes it fart? I'm just sayin'.
