It just doesn’t get any better than this …
Now who gets to wash it off?
I found this amazing picture on Photobucket tonight and was impressed by the detail of the painting. It leaves me wondering who the talented artist is and how they purrrsuaded (sorry, it was too tempting) persuaded the cat to hold still for the process. I’m an avid pet lover with mixed feelings about subjecting pets to our ritual of wearing costumes on Halloween. Sometimes I see pictures of pets in costumes and they look totally miserable, you know they are not having a good time. But some pets look like they love showing off their Halloween attire. I think all in all it comes down to the animals temperament and relationship it’s owner. What works with one pet may not be accepted by another. Our Schnauzer loved to wear a scarf and ribbons. It made her feel special and it was such a joy to watch her prance around when she came home from the groomer. She would accept wearing costumes. However, our Jack Russell Terrier has no use for being messed with. Putting him in a costume would be a humiliating, uncomfortable experience. Halloween can be a stressful time for pets. I think we need to understand and respect our pets unique personalities, consider their needs, and above all the safety of both the pet and trick-or-treaters who knock at your door. What are your thoughts about pet costumes?
