Animal Costumes...Really?


Please don't get me wrong.  I love animals and have two myself, that I love and spare no expense if they are sick or just need some extra love.  There is no way, though, that I would dress them up in a Halloween costume!

 

I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round but I just don't get it.  I was at the pet store buying some pet supplies because I thought that is what I would probably find there.   Thinking at first that I had walked into the wrong store, I saw halloween costumes everywhere!  Had I just walked into Ross or Marshall's in some kind of stupor?

 

No, I really was at the pet store!  I thought I had heard some murmerings about an animal costume contest this past week, but truly hadn't paid much attention to it.  I now find that I have been out of the loop.  Apparently, this is the latest rage and I am running behind on what is cool these days...

 

Of course, I am sure the dogs and cats are much more comfortable and feel quite dignified in the respective costumes that their owners have somehow squeezed their little legs and paws into, but I am still not getting it.

 

I guess I'm just a left-over from the seventies, where wearing less was more if you know what I mean.   Perhaps I should consider having one of these cute little puppies hold my next open house for me, or have my client hold them in the back seat while I am showing property?  I could dress them up like Realtors?

No?  Okay, I'm still trying to figure out how to work this new wave into my own life.

 

I hope you all know that I'm just kidding.  I hope everyone has a lot of fun this week.  Please send me picture of your favorite pet dressed up or not!
