Pet Accessories
Nov. 27th, 2007 10:33 pmWhy do people insist in buying clothing and other accessories for dogs?
I've not seen a dog yet that doesn't look downright embarrassed when dressed up in a tweed or Burberry overcoat. Flicking through my copy of Animals and You magazine (which I have since found out is "For Girls Who Care About Animals" - I'm not too sure what this says about me) I notice that you can buy an elf costume for a Yorkshire Terrier, with a green hat and four little booties.
Why would anyone do this? What is the point? It just looks stupid. No doubt these are the same people who buy Land Rovers in order to navigate the wild terrains of Cheltenham Town Centre.
When did all this start? Surely clothing for a dog is merely a collar? They don't need to wear diamond encrusted broaches with the word "bitch" on it nor should they suffer the ignomy of having a pedicure, manicure and herbal furbath. What's going to come next? Colonic irrigation? Bikini waxes for bitches? Where's it going to end?
The only dog that should have bling is Snoop Dogg. Apart from that I believe it just makes the dog and its owner look stupid. Dogs are dogs. The majority like to roll in the mud, chase after animals and lick their own genitals. There's nothing wrong with that - that's what they do. Why do people want to cover this up?
