Sorry, but dressing up pets..... 
I should have given Angus a little face wash first. I'm such a terrible mother.

I know, but in fairness it's just a coat and they have coats that we put on them on really cold winter days when we take them down the coast for a walk.

I won't be worried.
I don't own pets, nor care too...I do buy my daughter coats for her two miniature Jack Russell's though. Your dogs are cute Cinds and I love their Christmas coats 
Thanks Dame, they're probably one of the best shots we've ever got if them. Secret of it, a dog treat in my hand while holding the camera.
I clicked on this. It's not the sort of hairy growler I was expecting. What a swizz.

Aye but if I'd titled the thread "look at my pooches" it wouldn't have been so appealing.
Has as your week alone been peaceful and restful?
Not as such, no.

Oh, I hope nothing too bad.
cute.. but nobody's going to take The Judge seriously in that get up...
At the risk of repeating myself to m'facebook followers, Mrs Jer was admitted into hospital with a severe inner ear infection. She seems fine now like.

*faints with relief*
The look in their eyes says why Mummy whyyyyyyyyy
Cinds they look fabulous
I'm sure like my Milo, if the dogs want the outfit off, it comes off - I only ever managed to get Milo to wear stuff long enough to take a picture then he gets it off - I would never stress him out wearing stuff he doesn't want to
this was him last Christmas

Awww hope she on the mend now
Milo look so sweet Pengy
I once tried to put one of those head things on my dog. I managed to get a picture but he looked so dejected it wasn't worth it.
When it comes to people dressing up their pets I don't have an opinion either way. But what I will say is that, in most of the pictures I have seen of pets in fancy dress, the models never appear to be particularly thrilled with their 'look'.
I imagine they feel pretty much as I did when, as a child, I was presented with a jumper/cardigan that had been knitted by my grandmother, in various hideous colours, more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese and, invariably, one sleeve considerably longer than the other. I had to try it on and parade around the room in order that everyone could admire my new Christmas jumper.
We used to put a towel around our dog's head and say,
"Look everyone"
Our dog would pose something rotten LOL
We would also lift his back legs and push him forward and say,
"Look everyone - wheelbarrow"

Isn't she on holiday, Joe? Glad she is on the mend.
On the subject of Angus and Gloria, I think they look absolutely gorgeous- with or without outfits.

Makes me so glad that neither of my grandmothers were knitters.
Gorgeous hairy growlers

Do you know what the look in their eyes was really saying "I'm sitting smart, now give me that bloody treat you're holding next to the camera".

My mother had a knitting machine, I had all sorts of hideous knitted ensembles, when she first got it she didn't always get the tension right and we were forced to wear cardigans with the same movement of corrugated cardboard. We went to school like cardboard cutouts.

That's exactly what their expression says.

One year I was treated by an aunt,to an oversize jumper in various shades of migraine zig zags.
That wasn't the worst of it, she had knitted herself one too, so that we matched..
My mum, with evil intent, suggested that on boxing day, we go into the local town together, wearing them..
