I had two dogs wearing these at the same time
It was both hilarious and painful! When I got back home they would both try and jump up, invariably catching my nuts or removing skin from my shins. The humour came at feeding time. They were both beagles and incredibly greedy. We had to line them up, put the bowls down and then quickly grab the lampshades and position them over the bowl to stop them both scooping up the bowl and flipping them over. The sight of two dogs with their heads and bowls obscured by plastic lampshades running around the kitchen without raising their heads and crashing into walls and table legs was hilarious and made the damaged scrotum and shredded legs worthwhile!!

Hmmmm
I see your point, but if a snake jumped up at me to greet me as I walked in the door, I'd probably poo my pants, whereas when dogs do it, it just makes me incredibly happy!!

it wasn't the snake that bothered people
it was the tarantula that liked to sit on my shoulder that freaked them out
