When Pet Owners Go Too Far – Part 1

Since man domesticated dogs centuries ago, scientists have been trying to explain the intense love we feel for our animals. We care deeply for our pets, spending a wad every year on luxuries such as expensive pet condos, manicures, hair / fur appointments, sitters, strollers, health care, pet psychiatry, antidepressants, personal pet attendants, perfume, cosmetic surgery and, for the neutered-conflicted, testicular implants.

One 5th of pet owners feed their critters better gourmet foods than they eat themselves. Some canine pals are decked out in bling bling worth more than my entire jewelry collection and own more outfits in their private wardrobe than the average fashion conscious teen.

Some believe our pets experience the same emotions we do and bond with them as though they were human. The more disconnected we become from each other because of e-mail, internet, and work at home lifestyles, the deeper the bonds we form with our pets.

Some of those who feel they care the most about animals are actually trying to rid them of their animal characteristics and make them more humanized. So are pet lovers just going too far? Laugh as you may, but poor Fido may need to seek counseling after what you’re about to see …

  1. Oh my!! this is just absurd! being humane doesn’t mean you start dressing them in bathing suits for God’s sake! I love dogs and cats but this is beyond insanity! if only they could really speak and tell :) stumbled!

  2. OMG Deborah
    what amazing lengths these pet owners have gone to…..makes you wonder what their children are dressed up in……haha…..the dog braids are hysterical…and the scary thing is that they actually stongly resemble their human counterparts…..

  3. I love my dogs dearly Pearl, they’re my babies. But I’d never have dreamt of dressing them up as humans. I’d love to hear some of these pets thoughts myself. Thanks Pearl :-)

    I was surprised to find a plethora of sites online that sell these costumes Kim. It’s rather revealing that there’s big business in it. Some go to great lengths to design their own as well. People actually enter competitions for this!

  4. Wow, what a nice dog-picture!!! Great!!!!! :-)

  5. Ms D. Well, they say pets have a strong resemblance towards their owners, soo I shall leave it at that!!

    Take a look at my website, under “tags-n-memes”. You’ve been tagged missy!

    Have a great weekend.

    Hugs,

    jacer

  6. I would love to find out what the animals thought of being dressed like this. My daughter used to enjoy dressing our cat in baby clothes and pushing it around in a stroller. The cat did not seem to mind this but objected vehemently when he tried to walk. He fell over because his body was too restricted. I decided it was time to buy my daughter dolls!

  7. Thanks Pips :-)

    The saying can quite often be true Safety Queen :-) Hokay, I’ll come by as soon as I can. I’m buried in paperwork for the rest of the day, but will come visit when I’m done. Thanks!

    I’m surprised your cat tolerated it to any length at all Sue, given their independent nature. Haha, good plan for the dolls :-)

  8. Just Hilarious, these animals are such good sports! and very photogenic! LOL!!!

  9. They’re cute and funny to look at, but I feel bad for the pets. I envy my pets because they don’t have to wear cloths.

  10. Yes Elizabeth, pets most often want noting more than to please their owners, so they tolerate it, but I doubt they’re enjoying it ;-)

    I agree Cris, it is cute and humorous, but I feel bad for them at the same time as well. It’s not harmful, but it’s not fun either. Haha, imagine how simple your morning would be if we didn’t wear clothes :-)

  11. the dog snarling over the coffin el oh el!!!

  12. When good pets go bad…no wonder some animals attack their owners!

    These people should be ridiculed… :)

  14. How cute,,,, totally enjoyed these pictures… to bad some others really got a little snarky huh?

    P

  15. you have to admit, these critters are really good sports!
    we continue to humanize them because some really think
    they are human. mine did, he didn’t have a clue that he
    was a dog, may he rest in peace….well, i had a great
    time lookin’ at the pictures!

  16. that was hilarious

  17. Yse vet cute, but what are they putting their COMPANIONS through? I know that they are very uncomfortable. This something I wouldn’t do to my 4 retired racing greyhound companions. They have been through enough in their missused and abused lives!!!

  19. Wow. Hilarious. I bet most of those dogs would rather be playing with a ball than getting all dressed up, though.

  20. Oh my god! People doing this to their pets are simply crazy! Poor animals!

  21. I dress up my dogs too from time to time …I find it amusing as long as you don’t hurt them in the process …
    I also take lots of crazy pictures of them ;)

  22. As long as they aren’t being harmed in any way, it can be rather comical, Kinga ;-)

  23. COOL PHOTOS!!! The Topless Tart is hilarious. ;) This post made me smile. Thanks for posting!
