I saw this sign the other day outside a pet store. At the top it says, "New Pet Apparel", Then it lists the types of pet clothing they carry. Sweaters, jackets, p.j.s, boots.... Wait a minute! Pajamas? For pets? Jackets and sweaters, ok, little dogs without much fur might need outerwear in the northland in the winter, and I myself have put footwear on sled dogs so the snow will not cut up their feet, but Pajamas? Really? I don't get it. If your dog needs p.j.s, your house is too cold. Nate (my oldest) promises to take away any dog I put a nightgown on.
I think we can lay the blame for this at Paris Hilton's door. Because of publicity showing her carting her wee doggies everywhere, there is a boom in wee doggie accessories. My buddy Chris and I went up to a stroller in Old Navy one day, hoping to ogle a newborn. Lo and behold, in the stroller is a furball (gender and breed unknown)! Now I love dogs, my family would be incomplete without one, but should they wear tiaras and shop at Old Navy? I'm thinkin' not. I don't think they even want to. Dogs play on grass, girlfriends play at Old Navy.
It's a sad day when I have to be the voice of reason!

Kellet you are a hoot! I look forward to your postings. You are a day brightener! See next week.
I totally agree! We saw that sign last week too- and we all cracked up at the pjs!! Have a great day!
PS a dog probably could wear pjs at our house, we keep it at a brisk 60 in the winter!
