Just ____ ping.

Cool! So many people put sunglasses on their dogs anyway. These will actually stay on.

Eh, the dog in the first pic likes his shades, he's smiling.

Gotta admit, these are stylish pooch shades. Wonder if my dog will tolerate these.

[LaraCroft]

Way too cool!

I wonder if they would let my dog keep her head out the window while I do 70 on the Interstate?

Bow-wow-wo-yippee-yo-yippee-yay...

Who let the dogs out...(woofwoofwoofwoof)

Sorry, your set-up was too perfect. :)

[4mycountry]

Hmmm....now that I look at it...

That's one cool lookin' pooch.

I do think that sometimes dogs like to "get dressed". At least mine comes running and sits in front of me wagging her tail when I get her bandanna out. (no - it isn't a clue that we're going or doing another fun activity. It's a random occurrence.)

I'm not sure if she'd really go for the sunglasses though, they may remind her too much of the Christmas antlers:)

Sun? In England? Since when? Any time I've been there it was pouring or that never ending crappy mist stuff. Pretty cool looking poochies though.

Now that I think of it some more, just how well do dogs see in the first place?

Do they need corrective lenses?

When I was in college I taught my dog to wear sunglesses. He had a guide dog handle, too. I would take him everywhere and when bus drivers or security people would say "No dogs allowed!"

I'd say, it's ok, he's blind.

I always got away with it.

I expect to see an updated - and more fashionable - picture of Bluebelle shortly.

You do need to protect her beautiful eyes. ;-)

Just check your pet store or eBay for Doggles. They've been around for years.

Y'know, I came here looking for you with a wedge of Brie, a freshly-baked loaf of sourdough (okay, I made it in the bread machine), Nigella's cookbook and a case of Ripple.

What more can a man do???

Bluebelle is a very dominant dog. She's only submissive to me. She has this special look that she gives to bigger dogs who seem menacing. It's all bluster, of course, but it's her schtick, and it works. She'd be lost if her eyes were covered. ;-)

[Amelia]

She's female. She'd LOVE fancy shades. ;-)

It's the £40 to £60, isn't it?
