Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That does not look a happy puppy! I can hardly get my head round putting a pink tshirt on a dog & carrying it in a bag, much less colouring it up & wrapping it's ears to look like horns........ My three would wreck the place before letting me do that to them...! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hey Claret Are the pictures that huge on purpose? Keeps dogs and owners off the streets, I guess. Thanks DA; I daftly didn't preview the post before I submitted, so didn't realise that they'd come out that big. I have taken the links out now. Ghastly, aren't they? My wee lurcher pup is so cold at the moment (they have very little body fat) that she needs to wear a little coat outside.. I am mortified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 You should go to a big dog show in the US (actually they are just as bad with cats) Amongst the huge array of themed clothing, nappies etc you can buy different coloured false nails for your pooch to compliment the coat cut and colour. Vets will even implant false testicles after neutering your dog. They come in different sizes and are called "Neuticles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 There was something on the radio this morning about some research that's proved that dogs DO experience envy & embarrassment and are far more complex emotionally than has previously been thought (other than dog owners of course)... I think that dog is definitely embarrassed and should sue its owner!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 My wee lurcher pup is so cold at the moment (they have very little body fat) that she needs to wear a little coat outside.. I am mortified That I can understand - a waterproof or coat to keep a dog dry or warm due to breed/medical reasons (one of my old labs lost a lot of her fur towards the end of her life, so she wore a fleece wrap which I made her whenever she went outside). Its the fancy bejewelled stuff which I can't grasp...and as for neuticles ...who has the problem, the dog or the owner Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I think it's a tad too much anthropomorphism re the neuticles Ruby will be semi-rough coated when she is bigger, so will be insulated against the cold, but she's growing so fast at the moment that she is skinny as anything.

Phonix Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 oh thats awful! Those 'people' have far too much time on thier hands and those dogs deserve a better home where theyr treated as pets rather than canvases used to win trophies. My friends dog wears a coat when its raining/cold beacuse she hates winter weather and used to refuse to go out if it was too cold/wet, now she refuses to go if she doesn't like the weather and you haven't put her coat on lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I think this is very close to cruelty to animals, it shouldn't be allowed.....sorry, but that's how I feel. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We can barely get Polo to sit long enough of a night to be brushed, without getting our faces licked off, without faffing about with all that nonsense. I think I agree with Tessa - It must be bordering on animal cruelty to put a dog through all that. And as for 'neuticles'.....don't get me started! Nothing wrong with a little doggie coat mind, but only if it's for a good reason, and isn't rhine-stone encrusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have rhinestones on Suzi's new coat, but only because it was a coat that was being sold for a doggy charity so I bought it. It doesn't fit her yet either and it's pink! which I don't normally do at all. they both have rhinestone on their leather collars though, I am sorry for that but they have to have their sparklies These people in those photos are crazy, totally unfair to subject a dog to that, I wonder if they would be so willing to be paraded around being made to look like that!

tiggerlady Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The neuticles thing is 'interesting' as it used to be against kennel club rules to exhibit a dog that wasnt 'entire' unless there was a medical reason for having the op so...if you wanted to curb a dogs wanderlust but still show it..that would be a way round it I suppose..not that I would agree with messing about with the poor dog of course to please the owners daft enough to want to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
