as a founder of dog charity, this is what concerns you, with everything thats going on in this society that would affect the animal world? what about all these foreclosed homes resulted in homeless pets, puppymills, animal cruelty, there are dogs being killed out on the street for human consumption in China. and you are telling me that a dog in boots makes you angry, then all I just mentioned probably should give this Lynn lady a heart attack.

yes, I do dress my dog up for fashionable reasons. but that does not equal to I get my dogs because I want to dress them up. we are humans, after all the basic needs are met in life, we'd love to do a little more, to beautify the world around us. its because my girls are family, and I care enough to make them pretty. its the same concept as dressing human babies up, I go overboard on beautifying my son sometimes, but I certainly did not have him so I can make him my fashion accessory, there are lots of commitments that come with, which most parents/pet owners know before hand. and certainly, accessorizing your pets does not mean they would be neglected. the logic is so wrong that someone needs to go back and retake some classes!

Well, if people didn't dress their dogs up or make them look extra cute then it'd be that we didn't care enough. The majority of people just CANNOT be pleased, no matter what you do. It's sad and ridiculous.

I agree with you so much.
