Friday Fun: Tink on Christmas Outfits

Examples of my 2-legses’ depravity!

(but NOTHING like what’s going on with the FCC
or in the British Parliament)**

Bah Humbug to HER!

TinkerToy again, and no, that’s not me over there — YET!

Sheesh!  Wouldn’t you think Mom would have gotten the idea of dressing me up out of her head after my reblog of my Halloween guest-post?

Her chuckling woke me from a wonderful snooze, Shih Tzu sugarplums still dancing in my head.  I looked over to catch her scrolling through photos on our computer — with an evil grin on her face.

She could have been looking for Christmas presents for me, I guess, since she clicked off the page super pronto when I leaned over from my nap-chair by her side to have a closer look.

But something smelled fishy to me.

I got lucky when, only a few minutes later, she had to walk to the little store down the street.  She decided not take me this time since it had started to rain.

I thought it would be the perfect time to click around on the computer myself, pulling up her history to see what she had been up to.

You are not going to BELIEVE what I found.

DOG PORN!

Page after page of dogs in costumes.
I think she might have a real problem.

Here’s the evidence!

I already told you that, before I was born, Mom had a Pinterest Board with all sorts of pictures of puppies and dogs dressed in all manner of outfits — Deck the Dog she called it.  She said it made her laugh.

I’m afraid it is worse than I thought.

If she thinks I’m going to agree to be her little Shih Tzu submissive,
she is out of her ever-lovin’ mind.

When did she get this elf-obssession?

Found HERE

I’ll spare you photo after photo of all of the many elf costumes in her history – each one worse than the last – but I had to show you this next one.

See what I mean? 

Jingle jangle bells every time I took a step.

How in the world would I even get in a nap when the clatter would annoy the dickens out of me every time I rolled over?

And dressing me up as Santa Paws is absolutely NOT gonna’ happen either!!

I mean, really. Do either of those dogs look particularly happy all pimped out in red and white?

Since when do dogs need belts anyway?

Maybe they’re not as miserable as that dumb Jingle-elf, but I can’t imagine that there are enough treats in the world to make up for being the laughing stock of their entire neighborhoods.

Has She Lost Her MIND (again)?

NO WAY JOSE!

THIS is what my local pals and I think about dog decoration of any sort – even when it isn’t nearly as bad as most of the ones she was looking at:

And especially when it IS . . .

AHEM! If she thinks that rig on the left is any flavor of acceptable, she needs to think again!

Besides, it looks hot, itchy and uncomfortable for something that she’d probably want me to wear all month — especially for visits to my Cheers Bar down the street.

I didn’t see any links to Amazon orders yet, so it’s probably safe to hope that she’s already running too late to humiliate me in that one.

I know she can’t knit, so she’d never be able to make it herself. At least not in time for this year (and she’ll never remember to start early enough to get it ready for next year either — one of the UP sides about her ADD.)

But guys – she wasn’t just looking at outfits for ME . . .

Man the computers! Be ready to delete incoming email from Mom unless you want your two-legses to get some bright ideas they wouldn’t cook up on their own.

(Merry Christmas, guys – the warning is your present!)

Seriously, Ani, doesn’t this one look your size?

NOT one bit funny!

RAY and Emma – watch out for this horror on the right that might be heading your way.

It’s called a wreath,
and the two-legses hang them
on doors and stuff.

Don’t go anywhere NEAR anything that looks like this if you don’t want to end up as miserable and ridiculous as this poor Golden.

PHENNY – really, neither the couch NOR the pad of shame would be anything compared to having to carry this deal around on your back.

If your Mom and Dad bring out a stuffed bear,
tear it apart immediately
so you can foil their plans.

And if you think Elf-suits only come Shih Tzu sized, think again!

Story HERE

Prince, that otherwise naked dog over there didn’t get so matted he had to get shaved.  Apparently he’s a Chinese Crested and, according to Google, except for a few tufts here and there they’re just as bald as eagles,

Prince lives in England, and some reporter wrote a whole article about him in the Daily Mail, with pictures of some of his 200 outfits — and other stuff his Mom and her boyfriend buy him (to make him feel better for not having his own hair, I guess.)

His Mom says Prince likes to wear outfits to keep him warm — but would YOU want to wear that jingly thing, no matter how cold you got?

ANYTHING can happen in December.

If you think you’re safe because your two legses don’t even celebrate Christmas, you’re nowhere near right.

I’m not sure who she was thinking of for this next one, but if you’ve ever seen one of those stars with six points around your house, run and HIDE!

NOBODY is safe.

You don’t even have to be a DOG! 

So watch out Terry — and Barmalei, Beba and little Pishka — and Roxie Dammit.

Dog or cat, big or small, you might suddenly find yourself masquerading as a reindeer or a cantor or a gingerbread boy – or some other silly thing the 2-legses think is cute.

So don’t let your guard down.

Calling all Dudes!

Found HERE

I know that dumb ole paper crown would be gone in a heartbeat, so Shey’s not likely to try make you Hamsta’ Dudes wear one of those.

Found HERE

But they even have dumb hamster-sized Christmas outfits online, so watch out for small packages arriving in the mail – starting NOW.

Destroy them before they have a chance
to destroy your street cred!

To ALL my fur and feather friends: I’ve got your back!

Oh yeah – and HAPPY EVERYTHING to everyone!
God bless us every one.

Okay guys – fill up my Relateds

Anybody ELSE got something for Christmas?  Hanukkah?  Kwanzaa or Festivus or anything else you and your two-legses celebrate during the mid-winter holidays?

I’m gonna’ keep inviting all the blogging dogs (and cats, pigs, parrots, hamsters – or any other animals in the kingdom) to leave me a link to one of your posts down there in the comments section.

Again, you two-legses can leave a comment for Mom – so she doesn’t feel like I’m about to take over here.  EVEN though she doesn’t seem to care about my feelings, I care about hers (besides, I don’t want to make her jealous enough to cut off my blogging rights).

Where DO you stand on outfits, my fur-friends?
How about plain sweaters and jackets when it’s cold?

Let’s collect some data here – like those science guys my Mom is so fond of quoting.

**THEN we can send it to those barbaric British politicians who voted that animals don’t have feelings, paving the way for torturing us.

Can you even BELIEVE it?  Check out the links below.

• **The Tories have voted that animals can’t feel pain as part of the EU bill, marking the beginning of our anti-science Brexit
• **MPs hog social media as they deny voting animals are not sentient
