Oh my gosh. Humans. You REALLY are something. The lure of the after-Christmas sale can be oh-so-attractive – frequently resulting in the purchase of items that, well…one would never consider buying if they were not on sale. What seems like “such a good deal” often ends up being something that will never actually be used. Case in point: these “adorable Canadian” dog sweaters that were on sale at – of all places – the grocery store. WHAT came over my human?
It was the 50% off. A sign that causes many humans to act without reason. And when my human saw that – and saw these sweaters, she thought they would be the “perfect” addition to our wardrobe. Did she buy one? Nope – she bought two – in a size large. Thank goodness they didn’t have an extra large – so Paxton was spared the experience…
First off, you KNOW how Frodo despises attire. I don’t mind, but honestly, I have no need for a sweater. But the REAL problem: the size large must be like the size large at the Dollar Store – made for an obese Chihuahua. My human struggled to get me into it long enough to take the photo. I couldn’t even run away – the thing is too tight. It is like wearing a straight jacket. My human didn’t even TRY to put it on Frodo – he gave her the “look” and she figured it wasn’t worth the struggle. Admittedly, I DO look cute AND patriotic in the photo – but then I always look cute. So much for that great after-Christmas bargain.
And God help us, she is going shopping again today…
