I have three cats.
Granted the idea that I’m a crazy cat lady is not much of a shock, but I do draw the line at dressing them up in little outfits. Mostly because I’d like to keep my blood inside my body.
My sister found a little chihuahua one day and decided to keep it when she could not find the owners. It’s a fair representative of its breed; small excitable, and easily chilled. She has little sweaters and coats she puts on her to keep her warm. That is completely understandable, the poor thing gets cold and shivers like a back massager.
There are others out there who have taken the “keep the dog warm” approach and really ran with it.
I do not understand this … fetish for clothing a dog. The dog doesn’t care if it’s in a pretty party dress, it just wants to be warm.
This goes beyond caring for the comfort of your animal, this is treating a living creature like a doll.
I understand that there are people who treat their animals like their children, but to go so far as to coordinate you outfit to match your pet’s?
No.
Just … no.
