Pet clothes seem kinda dumb until you realize how cute they look
editor
Recently, blog
Tokyo Times claimed that while Japan's birth rate declines, people are choosing pets over progeny. And in order to satisfy maternal cravings, people are treating their animals more and more like children, and that means the market for adorable pet clothes and accessories is booming. Personally, I think there's a fine line between silly and grotesque when it comes to dressing your animal up, and this kimono definitely crosses it. I mean, it's perfectly acceptable to spoil your pet--that's part of the fun of having one--but c'mon, let the poor creature maintain its dignity. (Besides, is it just me or do you get kind of a creepy Jon Benet-esque feeling about some of the sparkly outfits out there being marketed as "sexy?" Yuck.) Still, you can't help but laugh at some of these pictures...

What I'd like to know is how many of these pet-clothers have kids, or the dogs are the surrogates for kids.. beautiful pics.

Our Yorkie does have a life jacket. We cannot keep him out of the pool. He wants to swim so bad that even if the ladder is out of reach he will jump 48 inches to get in. This is an eight pound dog. He is crazy for swimming. Anything else and the animal just looks embarased!

The look of humiliation on most of the poor animal's faces says it all. Please stop !
