I'll never understand the people that put clothes on a dog... adopt a kid or something

I use to work with this one girl who does this. Her and her husband tried for years and could not have kids. They both got checked out. She was perfectly normal but he was sterile. She claimed she was ok with no kids. Now, she treats her two dogs like they are kids. Dresses them up, takes them on vacation, has birthday parties for them, posts hundreds of pictures on Facebook. It really is very sad and pathetic. I truly feel sorry for her. She is a beatiuful woman, 9/10 in my book (no pics), and in her late 20's. She currently is content on being a dog parent instead of a real one. It is sad.

Why don't they adopt or get a jizz donor?

I never asked and I never will ever ask. I stay out of it. Women can be an emotional train wreck on this topic. Personally, I think this will happen sooner than later. She will go on a rant, on Facebook, about this and then delete her posts shortly afterwards.

I've got my gf looking at dog clothes online a couple times and had to put my foot down. He's half Doberman for gods sake, he's a manly dog. We are getting him trained to be an attack/protection dog when he gets a little older... But she wants to him a sweater because "he gets so cold and he looks so pitiful"

My wife runs with our dog and asked me if he needs running shoes. I am not fricking kidding.

And when it snowed, she thought he needed a coat even just to go for short walks. I will never let this shite happen. My dogs will never wear clothes or shoes or anything of the sort.

My dog looks like this picture. How in the world would she think he needs a coat to stay warm?

Spend more money on anything for the dog than it costs to replace the dog; this is something I've never really quite understood. I certainly don't begrudge people their pleasure in pet ownership and doing such things, I've just never really understood it.

I bought my Daschund mix puppy some pet stairs so he could get on sofa. He also has a blue t shirt with peace sign made from little silver studs. More clothes to come, especially in winter, maybe some little booties too.
