Oh, I didn't hear the 'up' after the 'dress'. Ah well, pet moose are a dime a dozen around here.

"Who"? One of Satan's lesser minions, I'd say. My guess is, they have a LOT of time on their hands down in Hell, these days.

Lions make better ministers than lambs. FYI.

The fashion industry must be really hurting.

[crossgirl]

wait a minute.....it's not pet up your dress day? oh. my.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Oops. Better cancel crossgirl's ferret order.

[Steve Haller]

I like the Jack Sack idea better: today is officially Talk Like Jack Bauer Day, DAMMIT!

[Hammond Rye]

That Yorkie looks like he wants to rip someone's ankle out.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

We won't . . .

[Allen at Division]

Crossgirl, you said you were naked!!! (previous post)

[Siouxie]

I like my pets just like my men...naked.

Annie told me to say that.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Yes, I did. Because I was naked busy at the time and couldn't reach the keyboard.

[Hammond Rye]

Really, AWBH? Tell us more...

[Siouxie]

Hammie, she said she was BUSY.

*WAVES*

[crossgirl]

well allen, seems all the boys scouts are in school and it was getting pretty cold out there. besides, ferrets were on sale.

[Layzeeboy]

I believe Congress officially changed it to "F**k Up Your Pet Day"

[ron]

I talked to the cat about this very subject this morning.I'm still leaking a little.

[maryqos]

Why does this link to a picture of Mickey Rourke at the Golden Globes? Just wonderin....

[Margaritaville]

Apparently it's dress up your slutty pet day.

[queensbee]

[Diva]

*snork* @ maryqos. Yeah. He ain't a purty man, is he?

[Kibby F5™]

Heck! I had problems dressing myself today!

[nursecindy]

My daughter has a Chinese Crested that has a bigger wardrobe than I do. He even has a sleep mask because the light bothers his eyes. Or so she says. This is the breed of dog that has won the ugliest dog contest several years in a row. My other daughter even crochets little outfits for him. I don't know what happened. Their Father and I are fairly sane.

[Olo Baggins of Bywater]

My daughter tried dressing up her dog. Couple days later I saw pieces of the costume blended into the poop I was scooping. But I'm confused...if the dog ate the costume, does that mean she didn't like it?

[Annie Where-but-here]

I may have celebrated this occasion once or twice.

[JJ Daddy-O]

Obviously, you folks haven't seen this:

SO STEP AWAY FROM THE TINY T-SHIRTS!!!!!

My daughter had a habit of dressing our cats in her dolls' clothes. It was fun to see our tomcat stalking out of her bedroom wearing a baby's cap or assorted clothes. My daughter never had a scratch but if I'd ever tried that, I'd be in the local ER for stitches.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Hammie - I did the same thing to my tomcat - lacey dresses and everything. I remember him being so mad his tail wouldn't stop twitching. Then he'd go beat up dogs, just to prove he was still macho.

[Betsy]

Seriously, this explains why, when I went to PetCo on Saturday, the aisle nearest the door was lined with racks and racks of pet clothes. It was like The Gap. Merchandising. Oy.

[Betsy]

P.S. While checking out Annie's second link, I discovered the answer
to most of the civilization-threatening threats identified by The Blog!

I have a friend who is very cultured and sophisticated - she has a little wiener dog, who is cute enough, I guess (I prefer shepherds, myself) and she insists on dressing her up every year for Halloween. I so don't get it. The day she told me that taking care of a dog was the same as taking care of a child, I almost decked her one. I'm sure that she has never had to spend an hour comforting her dog because she got a less-than-perfect-grade on a math test.

[Annie Where-but-here]

You're right, marfie. My dogs always did well in math, so we never had to comfort them.

Betsy, what if that thing hurls a squirrel through your window? Why don't you buy one and write a story about it. That way you can write off the hurl-a-squirrel, the broken window, the broken lamps, the carpet cleaning, and your rabies shots.

[Old Coot]

I don't know, Marfie. I had a Great Dane who I had to comfort all the time after I beat him at chess.

[Kathybear]

My cat went out with me today, dressed in her little dog sweater - they don't make those things for cats apparently. Anyway, my reasoning was that it was 27 degrees outside and she need a bit more protection from the wind than God gave her...

[marfie]

OC - My dog would just eat the chess pieces and barf them up later. He's a very poor loser.

[marfie]

I had to take my poor sweet baby pup to the vet today for his shots. They got him up on the table and he started visibly shaking all over- all 55 pounds of him. He managed to con the vet and the two receptionists all into giving him dog treats, so the visit ended on a positive note.
