Have to admit, dressing up cats & dogs is not my cup-of-tea either, for same reason - the "Barbie" mindset is not one that should apply to our pets IMO. Besides which, I have a strong suspicion that if I even attempted to inflict such stuff on my three, I'd be nursing wounds - on me! Cheers, helen s Besides which, I have a strong suspicion that if I even attempted to inflict such stuff on my three, I'd be nursing wounds - on me No way would I even consider dressing either of the Furballs. I can see the look Sarrasine would have on her face now- it's the "Well do you feel lucky, punk, do ya?!" look....

But Bandit actually *likes* wearing clothes! It started out with a scarf I tied around her for fun, but then she didn't want me to take it off. Then I bought her a sweater: http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Bandit4/, when that one got old, she got another sweater: http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Bandit1/, but what she likes best is her biker hat and t-shirt: http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Bandit5/. But then she's always been one weird cat! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > she didn't want me to take it off.

LOL! You won't be thinking that after your meet her - you'll be thinking what a b*tch cat from h*ll! Just please don't sue me if you try to pet her and she takes your arm off at the elbow! ;> I bet you get to hear her trademark cougar scream!!!

Now, now. Not all people dress up their tiny dogs and I found it cute when they were shopping with tiny dogs in their handbags. At least they didn't leave them out in the car at 90F with the windows rolled up. I got to play with the dogs while they tried on clothes.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov >> Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com I just have this thing about miniature dogs, I used to live in a flat under a woman who had 3 and they yapped, I'm sure for 24 hours a day, peed and crapped wherever they chose, and it was never cleaned up (yuk). They looked completely neurotic (I suppose I would be if if the local pigoens were bigger than me) they'd bite your hand or ankle if you deigned to go within a foot of them, I once tried to feed a Yorkie for her, I was FEEDING it for gawdsake and it bit my hand! Never again... once tried to feed a Yorkie for her, I was FEEDING it for gawdsake and it bit my hand! Never again... Meanest damn dog I ever met was a Yorkie....Belonged to a friend of my mother's and when it bit, it held on. One day it snapped at my ankle and I swear the teeth met in the middle. So there I am dancing around in agony trying to shake the thing off when the owner saw me and almost fainted as she screamed "Don't hurt my little darling!".... That's when my mother found out I knew some very rude words Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs When I was at the vet, I noticed the smaller dogs were the ones that barkd the loudiest. The bigger dogs tend to be more quiet. Maybe the smaller dogs thought noise would make up for their size? I think dressing dogs to keep them warm in the winter is appropriate. Afterall, it goes down to -30C here. Socks and jackets are sometimes needed for dogs going to the Out. Otherwise I think dogs and cats have nice fur coats that shouldn't be covered up.

Never > again... I agree, fur is for animals, clothes are for humans (ah if only people would stop thinking fur is OK to wear, it so isn't). And another thing I don't like is dyeing dogs fur, i.e. pink poodles, or dog/cat topiary! I just think animals should be left au naturel unless it has a health benefit, sorry I'm on a roll today! Could be something to do with having absolutely nothing to do at work and 2 more hours to kill. >I agree, fur is for animals, clothes are for humans (ah if only people > would stop thinking fur is OK to wear, it so isn't).

She said it is to prevent her originally white dog from being stepped on as she has white carpet in her home. She hosts a TV pet show with her dog. I wonder what the other dogs on the show think of her dog. "W.

The bigger dogs tend to be more quiet. >Maybe the smaller dogs thought noise would make up for their size? I grew up going to dog shows, and did note that smaller dogs tend to be more neurotic (yappy, hyper, skittish, etc.), while bigger dogs tend to be calmer (please note uses of the phrase "tend to" (smile)).

Large dog breeds, *in general*, have been selectively bred for temperament over many generations, because large dogs are potentially dangerous-- note I said in general, because this isn't an exact science, and there are other dog behaviors, such as dominance, to consider. Even dogs bred to fight other dogs, in general, have been bred to be submissive to people-- otherwise they would be unhandlable. The little guys often haven't had that background of selective breeding, and such breeds as terriers have a very high energy level. Little dogs also often have dominance issues-- my buddy Boswell, the calm, placid Golden retriever, is usually beset on his walks by a collection of yappy little dogs who are seemingly incensed at the sight of him, and make his life miserable.

I find it almost incredible that all dogs are descended from a common wolf ancestor and are all the same species.

Yes, yikes! I don't think there's another species of animal with as much physical variation as dogs. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com And another thing, dogs and cats are animals, not fashion accessories or boyfriend substitutes - so there, I shall now go back to enjoying my PMT in silence! >Tom just sent me this link, with the condition that I'm not allowed to >buy anything.

The fighting Siamese. Registered and earned name "Firey's Dammit Sam" When Vicki was born, he fell in love. With his whole being. This was his idea of a perfect human. And when she reached the appropriate age, he allowed her to dress him in doll clothes and to wheel him up and down the street in a doll baby carriage. Maybe that's why he spent so much time beating up every cat in the neighborhood. Jo > Tom just sent me this link, with the condition that I'm not allowed to buy > anything.

I *did* read the Nippon/English ad hype accompanying the pics and it was truly funny, Theresa. You must keep in mind high couture is different wherever you travel.....here in USA we have our own fad wierdities going on (pants just above pubic area, both male and female, bellies exposed w/various decorative piercings, dress back slashed to one's "crack" - @ Oscar Awards, yet!)....but that one "high school girl" look is very IN on Tokyo street looks as well as hair strange colors and girlish tights w/schoolgirl platorms....I am dying to see what Tak has to say about this website! Miss Hilton's lapdog is probably sporting all these outfits and *more*.........LOL. > Our darling Sam. The fighting Siamese.
