ReplyDeleteI agree with you on doggy clothing. My partner's always been adamantly against infantilizing our dogs by dressing them up... but I have to admit that now that temperatures are dropping, our poor Basenji, who was so happy to go out for walks before, has started resisting. It looks like we're seriously going to have to re-evaluate our NO DOGGY CLOTHING rule for the sake of function for She Whose Breed Hails From Central Africa.
Would be happy to lend you robin hood's costume if you can convince Rain to clothe his Shiba superstars!
ReplyDeleteYes, Zuko is going as a Fox this year. With a bandana on. That is all my hubby will let me do. The one time I tried to put a raincoat on Zuko (to avoid too much wet dog smell) he just dropped his tail and stood there shaking and wouldn't move. Sheesh - drama queen?? (I think you have a comic of Betsy having the EXACT SAME reaction). But I respect his Royalness and won't do it again.
ReplyDeleteBut the costumes are so darn cute......
Here's our pumpkin from this year:
