People who groom their dogs to look like pandas and buffalo...

[CoffeeCat]

Just when you thought you'd seen everything. And yes, this is real.

Here is an article, and various pictures of poodles who have been coiffed, dyed, slathered with glitter and
adorned with decorations--to look like various animals for a creative grooming dog show contest.

I'm laughing (OMG the buffalo...the panda), but it seems kind of mean!

What say you?

1. That poor dog

2. I think I'll have the groomer make mine look like a tri-colored beagle.

:eyes:

4. that is wierd to me

not really sure how I feel about as it is likely the dogs love the attention
they get when groomed etc..

5. Me? I went for the plastic surgery!

My wife and daughters don't like him staring at them in the shower though.:shrug:

6. It seems wrong... Camel? Pony? Buffalo? But you gotta seem them!

[titoresque]

8. I think it's cute and as long as they're not

being hurt. :rofl:

9. I'm sure the dogs don't care a bit. They love attention, and they

get plenty of it with this silliness.

"Can I have a treat? Huh? Huh?"

10. Those dogs do not look happy. nt

11. OMFG. . .

If I can stop laughing so hard. . . I have to say the panda is the least creepy, but jeezus tits. . . that snail/garden thing? the chicken?

I'm sorry, but animals are not ornaments or playthings. There is something so disrespectful of them in all this. I thought the bandana thing was weird and clothing was pushing the limit, but yes, I think we've finally managed to define the point of no taste.

IMHO, the kind of people who would be into decorating their dog to this degree may well have a screw loose--maybe as bad as those women who adopt baby dolls made to look real. Just. . . creepy.

12. One, I don't think it's a big deal. Two, I respect artistic expression in all it's forms.

But 3, I think from a Karmic perspective, in the next life the dogs will get a turn doing the same thing to their owners.
