dog owners
who put coats on their dogs. they've got fur, you thick cunts, they don't need your stupid pink fluffy coat! this is england, not fucking siberia! if i see one of these people with their outfitted dogs, i have to cross the street, in case they try to talk to me.
there's no way i could open my mouth in that situation without venting at them.

My Dad's dog is a Ridgeback/Great Dane cross
And has the thinnest coat you ever saw.

He doesn't get a coat put on him, but he probably should.
You should see the poor bugger shivering in the sideways snow of a Scottish winter. The poor sod runs and hides whenever anyone shouts 'Walkies!'

fuck, i love ridgebacks
i'm a bit too selfish and forgetful to have a pet, though

A pet rock is very low maintenance
You don't need a coat for it either.

I suppose it depends on the dog and climate.
I've seen dogs walked while it's -20C and didn't feel the owners were too cruel when giving them footwear to stop them sticking to the pavement.
I think the best way around the problem though is to only own a dog if you can provide it with conditions it was bred for -- that does mean most dogs don't need clothes though.

fair enough
but a yorkshire terrier walking the streets of the north west in temperatures of 17C(which it was today) really don't need a coat, especially a pink one with a fur-trimmed hood.

Agreed!
It's Yorkshire so should be fine from about -2C to 25C, but need a lot more water at the upper end.
I tend to think keeping dogs is cruel unless you can let it run around by itself evey day -- but I'll admit I would love a tiny Yorkshire Terrier (I'm a cat person otherwise -- but only due to the fact I think dogs need to be more free).

In the states, those little Chihuahuas are filling up the animal shelters
Seemed really cute when Paris Hilton had one with a purse and little pink bow, but they can also be psychotic and yippy and thus not so cute. And I'm told that chihuahuas don't really speak with a Mexican accent.
