dammit they have a sweater attached to them! the boots to protect from salt and ice on the street i can understand maybe
they might have a sweater attached, but sometimes they still get cold! she plays in the snow for hours... i did cover her feet once with the booties for the snow and salt because it can make their paws raw, but she lost one of them in her snow romping.. i should get her new ones this year....
I tried putting booties on my pug once, took me like 5 minutes just to get 1 on, he was not having it all, now I just shovel out a spot in the back yard for him to go when it snows.
I'm not for dogs in clothes either. or any animals in clothes for that matter. it's just weird and probably humiliating for the animal. animals are supposed to be balls/cooch-out and freeeeee! ..some protective wear against the elements I can understand, but for our amusement is just wack IMHO. but I should add that the costumes are amusing. effed up, but amusing nonetheless.
We're thinking about getting a new dog so my other dog can have a playmate. Pugs are on my mind at the moment.
Hey, THANKS to everyone for posting these pics - they always make me smile. I did try to put a "Men in Black" costume on them a few years ago, and they weren't having any of it - so I never tried that again. I guess some of them don't mind it - and others make sure you know its a no go! Can't believe how many pug owners there are on this board - must be something in teh Kaiju lovers that also atttracts them to big eyed pugsters. For anyone thinking about a pug, check out the pug rescues. LA has LAPR.org - teh LA Pug Rescue. I got Skruffy and Milhouse from there about 4 years ago - and they are so RAD, crazy and happy to be rescued - makes it all worth it!
SpiderPug has to be my favorite - plus that costume doesn't look too intrusive I guess. I wonder if Spiderpug has Spiderpug sense?
Rules of comedy: 1-Animals w/human characteristics (wearing clothes, talking, doing human stuff) = FUNNY 2- Old people acting young and "hip" = FUNNY 3. Baby's acting w/adult characteristics = FUNNY So according to rule 1, this thread rocks.
