Just posted to my Sydenham Blog nine photographs at 700 pixels made in Mayow Park of some little dogs in pink coats. Here are two of them at 500 pixels.

How utterly degrading to those poor animals. Dogs are intelligent, sentient beings, not toys to dress up like a child's doll. As for the pink track suits, they're more suited to dogs of a different nature.

I suggest the owner needs to grow up.

What frustrates me when I see this kind of thing is how it impedes the dog's natural method of regulating temperature. They already have a coat and they also use their tongues.

I also get upset when I see dogs muzzled as this too impedes their temperature control. It must be like wearing a straight jacket.

Not that I think doggie sneakers are cool but... in NYC in winter when they salt the roads to hell, dogs can actually get pretty painful sores on their feet so sometimes the sneakers are necessary.

Obviously they don't need to be pink lace ups or anything. Just sayin!

Good point. You're absolutely right.
