Every so often, my wife likes to dress one of our dogs in a sweater or T-shirt when it's cold outside. She thinks they look cute. I think they look silly.
I did put on a rain coat on our Golden Retriever a few times, but that was because she insisted on a daily walk, rain or shine, and it made drying her must easier after we returned home. So I relented.
But a Snuggie? No way.
You know what I'm talking about, right? Snuggies are those robe/blanket garments that you slip your arms through in front. They might keep you warm, but you wouldn't want your friends or neighbors to see you in one.
Apparently, they're popular - no doubt because of the late-night commercials on TV. So the next logical step was to make them for pets, which the company that makes them has now done.
"With an estimated 74 million family dogs in the United States, it only made sense to keep those almost 300 million chilly paws warm this season," Anne Flynn, director of marketing for Allstar Products Group, said.
FYI: They're made of fleece, come in sizes from extra-small to large and cost $14.95. You can order them online ($7.95 for shipping).
You're not going to find one on any of my three Dachshunds, but maybe your dog would like one.
So, do you dress your dog? And would you buy a Snuggie?
