Halloween Pets.

[Raven]

I'm not a believer in dressing up dogs, cats, or any pets. I think it's unkind, disrespectful, and they hate it. You?

I agree, my dog has a coat for horrible days only.

[Michael Rolls]

I agree - Fleur had a little 'Barbour' jacket for walks on cold days, but we would never have dreamt of 'dressing her up'

[Raven]

I don't put a coat on Dageus but I always have towels in the car, if it's a cold wet day I set out the kitchen towel and the hair dryer ready for use the moment we get home.

I would have thought that finding a coat big enough for Dageus would be something of a job - I doubt even mine would fit him!

Dressing up pets and colouring their fur shows something is definitely lacking  in their owners lives..
... and putting them in wedding gear to marry them to another pet is the strangest thing..
I have noticed that owners who do this usually have much work carried out on their own bodies..

'Teach your cat to roll over when you say Boo'.  You've got to be joking.  Paul is our cat's slave so it is more likely that he would do the rolling over!

I've had a lot of work done on mine. By Father Time

Basset hounds are even more disobedient than cats, so telling our dog to do anything except eat is a waste of breath. She has a' I've ignored you once, why do I have to do it again ' look .

A dog who knows her own mind!

Lottie will 'sit' when asked to do so.. then is 'off' when you turn away..
Bertie prefers to sit and plod along.. Never goes faster than walking pace..

[Michael Rolls]

Fleur was extremely obedient - she obeyed every instinct, especially if food was involved!

[Raven]

Dageus spent the first 4 years of his life in obedience classes once a week. He loved it and was a really quick learner.

bless him - we did try taking Fleur to obedience classes - not a good idea - to be fair, not her fault - mine. My poor hearing meant I never really had a clue as to what was going on, so we scrubbed the idea after about 4 sessions
