I mean, think of the poor poodles and chihuahuas who sport sweaters, bows and vests. Think of their self image. They have to be the laughing stock of the dog parks!
Remember the "Twilight Bark" from 101 Dalmatians? Well I bet in places like Beverly Hills the Twilight Bark is more like a gossipy Perez Hilton where they make fun of the famous dogs' outfits.
No, the only outfit dogs should wear is a blaze orange vest, and then only in hunting season.
Cats, on the other hand, I could care less about.
I mean, we had joked that our Dubai cat Kitty would probably need a sweater in Maine in the winter. I think at one point I might have even promised Liz that I'd take up knitting and make the damned thing myself, as long as we could come home.
Well, the other day at Target we saw perhaps the best Halloween costume for Kitty.
Kitty as a Lobster, could you believe it?
Granted, we didn't buy the thing, $9.99 seemed expensive for a stupid joke, and the little hairball would probably maul the thing if we ever did get him in it.
But we had bought it, he'd be our own little "Kittywahkwe".
(For those of you who don't know, my brother is finishing a full-length low-budget horror movie about a giant lobster called Kiwahkwe).
