While I can't imagine ever doing anything like that to my dog (long dead but still loved), I can't help being amused. Are the people who do this to their pets the same as those who put their daughters into beauty pageants?
I don't know that they are. People who put their kids in pageants or show biz are living their own dreams. People who treat their pets like beloved children are just a little barmy. Our beloved dog is long gone, but like these dogs, would have borne being dressed up for Halloween (not that we would have done it) with the inherent dignity of his species and humored us.
