The other day I was
walking in the mall when I passed a woman with what looked like a big purse
over her shoulder. Now this is nothing new
or amazing to see people shopping and especially women shopping sporting a
larger than normal bag on their shoulder.
This one however had a “head”. I
don’t mean that the purse actually had a “head” but there was a cute tiny head
poking out the end of the purse. I was
walking behind and to the side of this woman so I had a pretty good view of what
exactly this was. We entered the same
store. I usually don’t talk to
strangers, as my mother taught me while in my youth but this small creature she
had in her purse intrigued me. I therefore
struck up a conversation with her about what she was carrying in her purse.
If you have ever encountered a person with their
animal, whether it be big or small you soon learn how precious these animals
are to them. This woman was no different. She then proceeded to explain everything I could
possible every want to know about her “Katie” and then some. She had brought Katie inside to shop because
it was summer and she didn't want to leave her out in the hot car. My question,
to myself, was if she was going shopping why she didn't just leave Katie at
home. But like all animal lovers this
cute little dog wasn't just a dog, it
was her life. She then proceeded to
take Katie out of the “purse” to show me the cute dog clothes that Katie was
wearing. And cute they were. I had seen fancy collars and bows tied on
the top of dogs ears after they had been groomed before but I don’t think I was
prepared to see a full blown outfit on a dog.
Katie, I had to admit looked adorable. Where in the world would you get such a tiny
outfit to fit this small of a dog? As a
little girl I used to, as I am sure all little girls do, to “dress up” the
family dog. I just used the doll
clothes I had for my big baby doll. I
thought our dog was really cute but that it seems was nothing compared to what
Katie had on. Katie also had on a
beautiful collar with all the “bling” that she would ever want. I guess dogs want “bling”. Then before I knew what was happening she
pulled out a photo album from the side pocket of the purse and proceeded to
show me all the “photo shoots” that she had done of Katie in her various
outfits. It was like asking a grandma
about her grandchildren.
There really
were some cute dog outfits. Katie it seemed had more clothes than I
did. And they were way cuter too. This woman told me she had obtained these
clothes from http://www.doggiefashiontrends.com/clothing. So when my daughter got her precious Sawyer I
went to this site and got Sawyer the
cutest raincoat ever. I don’t think I
will be like this woman in the mall but I do think that Sawyer will be seeing
cuter clothes and accessories than my family dog ever saw.
