The human nail obsession has been driving me crazy for a while, but today I saw something that pushed me over the edge: Doggy Pedicures. Not just a usual toenail clipping or something like that. Nope. Dog owners have decided they want their pup's paws to look as ridiculous as their own. There is not one, but TWO companies, that make nail polish for dogs. (BTW, I didn't even know a dog needed special nail polish. If human nail polish isn't good enough for a dog what the fuck are we putting on our nails??)
I spend a lot of time ranting against overachieving mommies and now it's overachieving dog mommies' turn:
Absolutely not. Stop this nonsense right now. It's ridiculous. I know you love your dog, but come on, your dog looks stupid. It's a dog! She's an animal who uses that bejeweled paw to scratch her ass. She digs in the dirt and slobbers. Your dog does not want to be "spoiled and pampered." Your dog wants you to pet him and take him for a walk and not forget to feed him. My guess is, if you take your dog for a pedicure that will make him look like a hooker, he will hate you. Plus, this is such a waste of money. Stop spending money on dog Pawlish and send that money to the Humane Society or something.
Where does it stop? Apparently humans have run out of things to dye, pluck, enhance, bejewel or laser so now we've moved onto our pets. Right now, it's just dye jobs and pedicures, but I'm afraid that soon you'll see a bulldog with her owner's face tattooed on her tummy or a badass Doberman with his ears pierced or a sure sign of Apocalypse: a vagazzled Chihuahua.

HAHAHA!! Omg, this is too much. BTW, they do offer dog tattooes at the same time as spaying/neutering. In California at least (go figure). My dad had an ID # tattooed on his Yorkie so that if she got lost they could easily identify her. Keep in mind that he is a moron.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Off to research!
Deletepet id tattoos are really helpful in the case of a tagless, lost or stolen dog. i don't really see the difference between that and microchipping...
DeleteThe difference between a tattoo and a microchip would be PAIN.
DeleteI agree with the who polish and bling thing, but the idea of the tattoos is actually very helpful, and it is usually painless for the animal, as they are usually asleep. It is usually done during surgical procedures, and with the over population of unwanted animals, this helps vets and other people id when a dog has been spayed or neutured. Of course on male dogs it is easy to tell, but on felmales, this can save them from going under the knife again, only to find out that they have already been spayed. Also, they sometimes "clip" a cats ear after it has been fixed. So no, the tattoos on dogs does not make someone a moron. the thing with the microchip is that most vets, pounds and shelters do not scan the animals to see if they are chipped.
DeleteI don't think she was talking about tattooing for id purposes, I think she meant crazy owners slapping sleeves and hearts and flowers on their pets!!!!

DeleteTattoos are healthier for dogs. Microchips have been linked to malignant sarcoma. Tattoos are used in Europe and Canada b/c of this risk and they do have a national (or international, in the case of Europe) database. Microchips can, also, travel or "get lost" in the body. This, obviously, will not happen to a serial # tattooed inside of the dogs ear (and they do provide local anesthesia). And, Jen, I totally agree with you. After years of working with dog rescue, I really wish these people would put their money towards a better cause...
DeleteUnnecessary debate. There was no reference to I.D. tattoos in the blog.
DeleteMelissa, let people discuss what they want to discuss. It may seem unnecessary to you, but I found the information rather interesting.
DeleteJust sayin'
~Kate
My cat was tattooed when she was spayed so if she gets lost the shelters or vets will know she is fixed. (It is just a dot and they did it while she was under.)
Deletewhat happened to a good ole' fashioned branding iron?
DeleteMy dogs would be humiliated if I tried to paint their nails OR put them in sweaters. For the love of God, why do people even THINK their dog would want something like this? This is simple stupid human vanity at its finest. Morons!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. My little dog is a rescue, and she had to wear a sweater when we first got her because she had practically NO hair and it was the middle of winter- She HATED it. She kept trying to eat it. She looked like an exorcist dog trying to crane her head around to bite at the stupid pink collar on the thing. ;o) As for the nail painting, how these people can even get their dogs still enough to paint ONE nail, much less whole paws, is beyond me. Maizie (said sweater eating mini poodle)would just eat it anyways. No point at all.
DeleteI have a Pug. They are short haired dogs and get very cold in the winter. I REFUSE to put a sweater on him. It's a dog. My take - go do your business faster so you can come back inside.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the painting the nails and dying their fur - fucking insanity.
First, your dog is not an "it", he/she is a living being. Having said that, I loathe clothing dogs for "looks", but with some of the thinner haired breeds who live in cold climates, (ie a greyhound whose tummy is bare and living in Wi.), a coat/sweater is needed, and to not allow it is cruel.
DeleteNow a husky or lab with a protective coat is another story.
Everything is an it. You are an it. I am an it. Saying IT does not mean that you are disrespecting anything or anyone if you are using it as a descriptor and not an insult.
DeleteBut the other person did say that the dog goes outside, does it's business, then COMES BACK IN ASAP. Which, in my mind, means that they do care about their pet, they just don't want to bother with a stupid sweater for a dog.
Two of our dogs wear sweaters because we don't like having to take care of their long, easily matted coats, so we get them shaved. But one is a toy dog and the other is very old, so they both need the warmth during winter. One wears the arm cut off of a sweatshirt, and the other wears the leg of a sweat pant. Nothing fancy. They are dogs.
maybe people shouldnt have a greyhound in wisconsin so you dont have to put it in a sweater. and for that matter, who the hell has a husky in florida or some ridiculously hot state!
Deleteumm, don't dogs have fur to keep themselves WARM!!! clothing on an animal = unnecessary!
DeleteAs for the dog sweaters mine has them or she will be cold. She is a hairless breed and they need protecting. The sweaters are simple and functional, not fashionable and foofy.
DeleteFucking nasty.
ReplyDeleteThe image of the chihuahua terrifies me. An image that doesn't need to stay in my little head.
ReplyDeleteThen Vajazzling must really piss you off. Talk about insanely moronic!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely INSANE.These people obviously have more money than good sense.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't about dogs, but I work at Barnes and Noble and in the art section we have a book about cats...painted. Google "Painted cats" and you can see how crazy people can be :)
ReplyDeleteWHY??? Just why?? Who's cat sits that still for that long while paint is being applied to it?
DeleteHOLY CRAP, my name is also Jana and I used to work at a B&N - one of my friends just pointed out your comment and thought it was me. I just had to let you know! =)
DeleteAnd, completely related, cats and dogs should just not be painted. =)
I've never bedazzled my dog's nails or paid anyone for a doggie pedicure but in the past my daughter and I have painted our dog's nails bright pink for the summer. Our little girl thinks it's great, ((get ready to roll your eyes)) because then we paint her nails the same color as the dog's. We do it on our own time, for free, for fun. The dog couldn't care less.
ReplyDeleteYou can't imagine how much attention our dog has gotten with it, people fawning all over her, giggling, enjoying her white paws/bright pink nails. If painting a dog's nails makes someone feel happy (by being silly) then why not? I wouldn't PAY someone to do it, but there's no harm. It's cute. But you are entitled to your opinion!
My handicap sister loves painting her chihuahua's nails. Her dog also couldn't care less. And it makes Cheyanne happy, so what do I care.
DeleteChica (the chihuahua) also has sweaters. Originally, we got them for her to wear in the winter (in Alaska!). But Chica loves them so much, if you pull one out she goes nuts, running over to you and in circles. So now Chica wears them all the time.
I buy them off the discount rack for like $2 each. If Cheyanne is happy, then I'm happy.
All that being said, it doesn't mean I don't think it's silly!

More disturbing are the freaks that get fake balls for their male dogs who have been neutered. Wtf is wrong with these people?!
ReplyDeleteWait....what?! Fake balls?? WHY?!
DeleteLike the chrome ones the douchebags hang from their truck bumpers?!
DeleteKinda like boob implants, but ball sac implants instead. The dog owners apparently can't handle the hanging skin so they fill it back up. It's seriously disturbing.
Deletewww.neuticles.com.
DeleteNow THAT is some stupid shit.
Oh. M. GEE. No WAY do people do that to their animals!
Deletenooooooooooooooo
DeleteI actually do buy the clothing for my little chihuahua but it's the cheap 7.99 things from Wal-Mart. Mainly because the thing looks like it is freezing half the time. The painted nails too far but I've seen worse. About a yr ago at the vets office there was a woman with a chihuahua that had three piercing per ear. Three! She couldn't traumatize it once but had to do it six times. That is a woman you want to punch!!
ReplyDeleteI took my 3 dogs in for their regular clipping to a new place. I had no expectations other the clean trimmed dogs!!!'. I picked up 3 very irritated dogs with neck kerchiefs, flowers on their ears, top knots. AND ear rings. Which was little plastic jewels glued to their ears with Elmer's glue. Took them home after laughing and my 17 y/o daughter said. Seriously. The dogs got bedazzled She quickly soaked off the ear rings and everything else and returned them to their dog state.
ReplyDeleteI would tattoo my yorkie on the belly if she ever goes under anesthesia For identification purposes. Yorkies are one of the most commonly stolen dogs here. Can't argue with a tattoo and very easily identified
The same thing happened when I took my lab/irish setter mix in. I just wanted her shaved down for the summer since we was miserable with all the hair. I came in to to her tail and legs all puffy and a neckercheief on. She was utterly humilitated and so was I. Never went back there again
DeleteLOL @ "picked up 3 very irritated dogs..."
DeleteI can barely keep my dogs updated on their shots and keep their food bowl filled. Now I'm supposed to worry about how pretty their nails are? Some people are asanine. Glad there are no starving children or anything for them to spend their money on instead.
ReplyDeleteDear god stop the horror! Poor dog should be taken away for doggy endangerment.
ReplyDeleteMy dog eats her own shit...do I really look like I am going to pay to have her nails done? No I don't think so...
ReplyDeletewhowouldathought-kevin.blogspot.com
That dog HAS to be from Rhode Island - specifically, central Rhode Island. It's nails are done in the colors of the Italian flag!
ReplyDeleteThose are also the colors of the Mexican flag.
DeleteIt's also the colors that represent Christmas, maybe the dog had a Christmas soiree to go to.
DeleteI think we can all agree it's an ethnically diverse holiday spirited doggie :)
DeleteAs long as the dog is happy who cares. Not my cup of tea but who cares. I save my ire for people who are actually doing something that makes the planet less liveable. Anger and criticism has become such a part of our everyday life its very sad to me.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHA! Vajazzled Chihuaha!
ReplyDeletemeanwhile, no comment on the photo of the dogs' nails? they're painted like the Italian flag. Could this be Snooki's dog? Is this dog from Jersey?
(I'm Italian, and from Jersey, so I can say this. and I'm not one of the guido types that would do this to her pet. I'm too lazy to even own a friggin dog. My cat does her own business on her own time and reminds me to feed her and we get along great.)
One time hubs and I dropped off our Boxer, Lola, at the dog sitters. When we came to pick her up a few days later, not only had she swelled like a gorged tick from non-stop treats, the dog sitter had painted Lola's claws hooker red.
ReplyDeleteI guess it should have made sense when we dropped Lola off and our dog sitter came out with a glass of wine in one hand and a can of beer with a straw in the other.
On Christmas Eve.
LOLOL
DeleteAny animal who has no compunction about taking a dump on someone else's lawn in full view of any passerby is probably not going to hate its owner for making it look like a hooker. That's not to say that I won't think the owner ridiculous and discount every single thing that might ever come out of that person's mouth as inanity. I totally get the people who say their children or mentally challenged siblings do that. But I also would not trust information from their mouths about anything in life (finance, law, news, weather, whether the lady who moved three doors down is a lunatic) either.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not harming the dog people are free to do whatever frivolity they want with pedicures or outfits. But they might want to accept that the rest of the world might look at them with a little less respect as a rational adult human being as a result.
I have a master's degree and 18 years of professional experience. I've traveled the world and could give you phenomenal advice on finance, law, news, weather AND nearby lunatics. If painting my sweet dog's nails for kid fun (and for free) makes you think of me with "a little less respect as a rational adult human being", I truly pity your narrow-mindedness. We all deserve the right to be silly in whatever harmless way we choose. I'm sure some of your habits are cringe-worthy but I wouldn't presume to question your respectability as a rational adult human being based solely on one factoid. Since you so flippantly declare broad assumptions based on scant facts, I'll make one of you. Based on your comment, I'm sure your personal life is a reflection of your self-righteous, quick-to-judge character. Sorry for you.
DeleteThank you Thank you Thank you. I have been annoyed with ridculous dog owners for years. Seriously, if you nothing better to spend your money on than dog polish, dog clothing, or dog jewerly than PLEASE DONATE that money to the humane society. Also, get real, your not doing it for the dog your doing it for yourself. Pets HATE this stuff. FYI, putting clothing on your pet makes them COLDER. Animal's fur insulates the air around their body. Clothing mashes down their fur and prevents it from doing its job. If your going to make your pets cold and misearble by piercing, poking, and mashing down their fur than please be honest about who you're really doing it for.
ReplyDeleteUm hello my dog has no fur on its belly because it is a shorthair dachshund and the belly fur rubs off. So yeah she seems to like the protective coat I put on her before I send her out to do her business in the snow. Protects her from frostbite.
DeleteY-O-U-apostrophe-R-E!!!!!!!!
DeleteDonate to your LOCAL shelter ! Do not give a dime to those the douche canoes that are the 'non-profit' Humane $ociety of the United $tates and A$PCA! Do some quick google-ing if you don't believe me. Those organizations don't support local shelters or animals! If you want to help animals give local. If you want to pad wallets choose HSUS or ASPCA.
DeleteThanks Jen......now I have to cancel me and my dog's joint butt-hole bleaching appointment. We were totally looking forward to it as a great bonding experience (not to mention the super cute new sphincter) LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG I can barely type from the tears! LMAO!!!!
DeleteCan I come next time?
DeleteLOLOL
DeleteAt least it isn't vagazzled.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Omg...did you seriously just say vagazzled? roflmao! Oh Lawd help me I am crying! Halarious!
ReplyDeleteI am curious....did you find out how much $$ people are wasting on this phenomenon??
ReplyDeletewhatever it is, your right, they should donate it to a charity, or bring a bag of food to the local pound....
OMG! I would NEVER paint my dog's nails! It would get all over the fur lining of his Uggs... duh.
ReplyDelete:)
if you have read, (or watched) The Hunger Games....seems like we aren't too far away from what goes on at "the Capitol". Hair/skin dyeing, blinging, cosmetic surgery, etc. Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteWTF? I hate Doggie Boutiques. DINKs need to find something better to do with their cash. Psychologically, this is fucked up. What is NEXT: a doggie Brazilian? YOUCH!
ReplyDeleteI just showed my daughter the doggie photo with no explanation. She thought it was awesome until she read the caption (oops!). She rethought it because she doesn't want me to look like "a-double s"
ReplyDeleteAll that said, I would not paint my beloved dogs' nails. Seriously, I want people to take it seriously that I walk to 70pound dogs and not even think of mugging me. I'm pretty sure I'd get a good shake down if my dogs were bedazzled.
(I do like a neckerchief though!)
"a vagazzled Chihuahua" -- that's the funniest shit I've heard all day!
ReplyDeleteI would not paint my dog's nails. However, I have a large breed dog whose claws are wreaking havoc on the hardwood floors in my house. There is a product available called softclaws that covers the dogs claws to mitigate scratching, of floors, legs, etc... These are available clear and black as in many colors, which when applied look like painted nails. If it saves me money down the road in floor replacement, I will try it. So it might appear that my dog has painted nails, when she does not. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteIf I was a dog and my owner did this to me I would probably eat their face. Seriously, why ppl treat dogs like they are some show piece? Crazy.
ReplyDeleteOops..why DO ppl treat dogs like they are some show piece.
DeleteThis reminds me of The Hunger Games. In the books anyway, they talk about how people in The Capital are really into fake hair, and fake skin, and everything fake. Those crazies living in The Capital would probably do this to their dogs too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a professional groomer, I own my own salon and you would not BELIEVE what people ask me to do. As long as it doesn't hurt the dog I'll do it but I charge extra for ridiculous stuff. I have a client who has me come every other week to give Fifi a french manicure to match hers! I also have a number of clients who have their dogs hair dyed in a variety of unnatural colors. What really takes the cake is the owner who has her black poodle dyed black.... to cover up the gray!!
ReplyDeleteThis may be worse:
ReplyDeletehttp://abcnews.go.com/International/slideshow/china-painted-dogs-10864603
I don't believe you 'look' like an ass when you walk your bedazzled dog...you ARE an ASS!!
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone money for something so trashy?? It reminds me of that Dolly Parton quote, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."
ReplyDeleteHate to break it to you Jen but I've been a vet tech for six years and have seen countless pups with pedicures AND earrings in their little ears. It's that whole my pets are my kids craziness. I woul complain but these crazy pet lovers pay my bills. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling this is going to lead to an increase in the pawstitution rate.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Thanks for reminding people not to be idiots, even though they are trying so very hard.
ReplyDeletetoo late... i saw a dog with diamond (looking, i pray not real) earrings riding in the cart at the drug store a few months ago. i just about vomited.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo with you! I don't even like when people put clothes on their dogs! But my newest wtf are they thinking moment came a week or so ago as my MALE friend has been going on and on and on about the Spa package he bought his dog, Beau for his birthday including doggy massage and doggy Facial! Really? That damn dog had a better birthday than me!
ReplyDeleteUgh hate when google steals my name away from me! I'm not unknown! Lol
DeleteI laughed at this post...and then it reminded me of something that happened when my oldest was about three years old...and I laughed some more. Just tell me you won't be angry that our dog was treated to tingly lip and nipple cream in strawberry flavor. Children are sneaky.
ReplyDeleteDoes everyones opinion on this extend to pet Halloween costumes? Because I won't even lie - that pug dressed as yoda gets me every time. If thats wrong then I don't want to be right.
ReplyDeleteI love it too - my pets would never sit still, but my kids would love to try to dress them up!!
DeleteGuilty. I can't imagine painting my dog's toenails, but he wears a costume for Halloween. He couldn't care less, and the trick or treating kids love it.
DeleteBahahaha! So obvious who all the people getting a punch in the throat are!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I saw a pair of disco balls (male "vajazzling")on a dog I would definitely have to punch the owner in the throat. I would blame it on my sudden urge to do "The Hustle" while Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive" was blaring in my head. You're gonna put disco balls on your dog be prepared for a disco related injury. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI was totally going for the bejeweled and painted dog toes (my dogs would never sit still - I don't have a chance of even trying this...). But, when I read your line "Stop spending money on dog Pawlish and send that money to the Humane Society or something." I stopped. Yes, this is a waste - send the money to dogs in need. Point taken!! :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe instead of hating people who do silly but harmless things to their dogs such as buying them clothes or painting their nails you should hate those who abuse, starve, and neglect their dogs. You'll never see a dog with pink painted toenails who has been starved or neglected thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteDressing your dog and piercing his ears could be interpreted as abuse. At least, that's what my dog's therapist tells me!
DeleteWell written: "Maybe instead of hating people who do silly but harmless things to their dogs such as buying them clothes or painting their nails you should hate those who abuse, starve, and neglect their dogs. You'll never see a dog with pink painted toenails who has been starved or neglected thats for sure."
DeleteYes Lauren, putting a sweater on my short hair dog is the same as kicking it down the stairs or starving it and leaving it to wallow in its own filth. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
DeleteIt's interesting that you mention that the next thing is a pet having a tattoo of their owners on them. I vaguely remember the TV series "Taboo" where they showed that there were animals that had tattoos on them. Real, never-washing-off tattoos. While I couldn't find it online, I did find a site that sells temporary tattoo kits for animals: http://pet-ink.com/
ReplyDeleteAnd my question is why? There is no need for it!
I heard of people painting their dog's nails just plain colors and I thought THAT was stupid!! People are seriously some fucking dumbasses!! I also think it's stupid to dress up their dog. Do they really think the dog enjoys it???? It's one thing to put a sweater on a dog for warmth but they are not a fucking doll to play with! Idiots... the money they spend could definitely go to a more worthy cause!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I saw a woman on the walking/jogging trail near my house pushing her dog in a stroller. I thought "there is NO way I can ever take someone serious if she pushes her dog in a baby buggy (made specially for dogs, however)". What I wouldn't give to have that kind of extra cash and TIME to waste on stupid $#!& for my pet.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have Ceasar Millan's email address...I'd love to hear his opinion on this one!
ReplyDeleteYou know, even if you could get my dog to let you hold his paw long enough to put a coat of lo'real on there, the immediacy with which he would chew that crap off would make the whole process for naught.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an argument I had when I was in college with a classmate who routinely dyed her poodle with koolaid because she thought it was cute to have a pink strawberry scented dog. Get a damn strawberry shortcake doll for god sake.
I second the donation of the money however as a former animal rescuer I would like to add to donate to your local humane society shelter or rescue group and not the national humane society organization. The local shelters and groups put the money to use to help the animals in their care. Okay - jumping from my soapbox now! And the vagazzled Chihuahua thought made me both shudder and cackle with laughter at the same time!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion this borders on animal cruelty. It is not just stupid and pointless, it is mean. As for the special nail polish.... my daughter thought it would be funny to put nail polish on the dogs claws (ya, they are claws, not nails. it is a fucking animal for pete's sake!) and the dog immediately began to sneeze her snout off. So I am guessing dog's are allergic to regular nail polish.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm going to piss off an entire population of people - namely dog owners - when I say this:
ReplyDeleteA dog is not a human child, and should not be treated as one.
Your pet is your pet. Your child is your child. Taking responsibility for your child is a bazillion times harder than taking responsibility for your pet.
Pet nail polish is f-ed up.
Yes! Thank you! I hate hearing people talk about their dogs as their 'babies.' as in, 'we're not having kids yet. Our dog is our baby.' Oh how this drives me nuts!
Delete"wasting" money on pampering their "own" dog is no different then spending money on a $50,000 car, a couple of million on a house. None are a necessity. Why does anyone feel they should tell these pet owners to donate instead. I guess the next time anyone wants to go out to eat, watch a movie at an overpriced theater they should donate to shelter instead. I don't have an pets, I choose to "waste" my money on spioling my children.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who does this to her dog, down to the jewels and everything. The irony is that she leaves the poor pooch in a crate for 12 hours a day. I mean she doesn't even drop him at doggy daycare to show off his manicure (and yes he is a boy).
ReplyDeleteok fucktards, has it ever occurred to you that there are some people in this world who are not able to have children and maybe that is why they treat their pets like their babies? Has it occurred to you that not all of us want disgusting children to worship like you psychos do? Shouldn't you be up little junior's ass right now instead of on here? I mean that is what parents of human children do these days they bow down and worship the little shitheads that they created. GET THIS: I'M NOT HAVING KIDS EVER BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO NOT GET KNOCKED UP, unlike you idiots. Half of you didn't want the brats you got stuck with, and now you are judging people who didn't have kids because you are jealous that they have the time and money that you wish you did to piss away on whatever we want.
ReplyDelete6:02 - Sweetheart, I think you might have missed your medication today.
ReplyDeleteTake that pedicure money and spend it on actually TRAINING your dog! I can't tell you how many dog owners have poorly trained animals. As a responsible owner, it's your job to make sure your dog is trained!
ReplyDeleteOMFG! You had me at "vagazzled Chihuahua" Hahahaha...!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is a silly thing to spend money on, but don't we all spend money on silly things every now and then? Now I have a Packers jersey for my corgi but she just wears it for a photo every now and then and she would NEVER sit still long enough for a polish. She barely can keep it together for a nail trim! But doggie clothes did save a dog's life once. I was driving and I saw this dog on the side of the road wandering. There are a lot of farm dogs around so I typically would leave the dog alone considering it could be on it's own property.. except.. It was wearing a pink tshirt. I thought to myself, this is a farming community what the heck is a farm dog doing in clothes? It must be somebody's pampered pet. So I pulled over, picked her up and put her in my car. I could not find identification other than a rabies tag so I called the county and they called the owner. The owner came and picked her up. She had left the gate open and the dog had been gone for 3 days..
ReplyDeleteHoly fkn' HELL - I was THINKING "vagazzled"; but now I know I did not want anyone to actually SAY "vagazzled" about a dog. You just KNOW someone will actually do that shit. Ugh! Humans...
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this, but the only actual polish I've seen on animals has been on the hooves of the horses who draw the carriages around downtown Indianapolis. They look pretty sad to begin with, so someone decided to glitter up the hooves. It's stupid.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you have a lame pet, no amount of schnazzing it up will distract people away from that. EXCEPT if you dye the headhair of a Chinese Crested (the ugliest dog on earth) purple or pink, then that puppy looks kindof cool (and sortof like Andy Warhol).
ReplyDeleteCheck out this link, it's of a cat shaved to look like a dinosaur - makes the cat look like he's put together in slices. Pretty cool, I'd probably do it once for fun no matter what the price.

ReplyDelete*I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this. https://k9nerds.com/why-do-dogs-dig-holes/

ReplyDeleteSadly, for some dogs, nail trimming is a frightening experience.
