Where is the SPCA ?



There is a trend sweeping the country that I do not think I can live long enough to understand --- dressing dogs and cats in clothes !

Do you think our pet friends want to wear clothes ? Trust me, they don't ! I remember the conniption fit our cat pitched when my brothers (at a very early age) tied a scarf around her neck and put booties on her feet to watch her try to get them off !

Now, pet clothes are everywhere. A quick search on the web for pet apparel proves mind-boggling ! Some sub-categories include evening wear, robes, shoes & boots (remember how our cat hated those booties), dresses, costumes, accessories, and sportswear.

If I had thought of this idea myself and was making a gozillion dollars selling it to people who have more money than sense, I might feel differently about it. But since I didn't originate the concept, I think I'll market a training video for dogs and cats which teaches them how to bite, claw, and scratch their way out of the clothes AND give the same treatment to the owners who try to adorn them.

Yes, this particular pooch looks fairly miserable. No need to send me the training video, though: (A) I wouldn't dress my cats in clothes; and (B) They are already well versed in biting, clawing, scratching!

hey grandma!
im leaving you a comment just like how you taught me = ]
I dont think we need the instructional video either, Roxy has mastered the art of jumping...
we might need a video on how to get her to go to the bathroom in the right spot though...
