Deadlines are numbing nuisances, sometimes.

If the FR Extreme Pet Lovers crowd gets wind of this thread you will win the "Troll of the Day" award. ;)

"You have an animal that tries to chase rocks into a lake and you're treating it as though it was a future Harvard hopeful, while there are hundreds of thousands of human children in the world waiting to be adopted!'' I would shriek.

Adopted children are pets????

Huh, go figure......

[freedom44]

Don't worry im a pet lover.

[Freepertwo]

I think it's a good idea (don't hit me, don't hit me! :-D).

..thats' not all, the Lil' Doggies, also have a separate syrup (w/3 favors) for dry dog food.

btw, Bichon and the dog breed named in the article...are a pure waste, good only for croc. food. :)

[Andy'smom]

It's just a GPS for dogs. Of course my dog is perfect and doesn't need one!

[Fire_on_High]

Cell phones for animals are a ridiculous idea. But sweaters? Nah, I don't buy that it automatically makes for a looney owner. Small breeds often don't handle the cold well, due to their size and type of fur. Chihuahuas especially have short fur that doesn't keep the cold out well, since they're a breed from a warmer climate. Sweaters make them a bit more comfortable if they have to be outside, nothing more.

...those people who dress their Shih Tzus up in sweaters and booties and jaunty little knickers and call them names like Franklin or John-Paul...

My cats are named Kambei and Kikuchiyo...

Yeah. My toy rat terrier gets really cold really easily. Although I admit it does SEEM strange it relly helps. She gets nice and warm.

[onja]

P.S. In case you non dog owners. Toy means below 10 lbs. not an inanimate object.

[4mycountry]

ROTFL that's a good article. :)

[freedom44]

My Samoyed shall smack you instead. ;)

"But sweaters? Nah, I don't buy that it automatically makes for a looney owner."

Spoken like one whose dog has a fully accesorized wardrobe.

[Fire_on_High]

LOL nah. We're currently between dogs since our husky mix died a year and change ago, but we only had one sweater for when it was bitter cold for the chi we used to have. Thankfully it rarely gets that way here, but he was a lil guy and got so cold he'd refuse to go out past a point.
