Thread: T-Shirts on dogs

It's cruel and stops the dogs skin breathing properly.

That settles it, tomorrow I will buy a bag of pork bits and a large pair of scissors.

Neighbour had a half coyote/shepherd named Dolly. (The mail and newspaper were always thrown from truck windows.) Dolly got arthritis and was always dressed in a long-sleeved striped sweater in the winter.

^ But why do Thai people do that to dogs, particularly sick or injured ones?

Are they thick or something?

If you put a pink t-shirt on a male dog, thats a kind of humiliation and definatley cruel

Causing your dog to look ridiculous and therefore to be mocked by the other dogs, is akin to animal cruelty.

There is a poor little poodle in a Phuket Town cafe/bar that wears a ballet dancers Tu-Tu !!!
Has a different one on each day !! WTF!!!

Surely its fur will be enough to keep it nice and warm in Thailand's chilly climate.

Her reasoning was: "It's dog fashion". Reason enough for women. Case closed.

Tell you what. Next cool snap (Dec or Jan) I'll send Ebony (the paraplegic dog in the pic) to you. While she cries continuously cos she's cold, you can explain to her it's for her own good so she doesn't get 'mocked'. Deal?

^No worries, i will put her out of her misery

only reason to have a dog is if u have a job for it guard or search or rescue or just keep other dogs away from your chicken and egs dogs have to work for there food

i notice that it is often childless couples who go in for this dog dressing business.

actually I wouldn't mind fitting my son with a choke chain but some do-gooder liberal would only complain to the authorities.

If girls are happy wearing muzzles, collars and leashes surely dogs can put up with wearing an old t-shirt?

I have also noticed a disturbing trend whereby people refer to dogs as 'fur kids'

^ That's sick.

Hey everyone, I've just figured out why dogs in hot countries have fur anyway.

It protects them from mosquitos, right?

Oh dear... go to bed, dude.
