During our recent snowstorm we witnessed a few regrettable acts of indignities involving pets. Now, we realize that most pet owners love their animals dearly, but some may be lacking a little in perspective. Here is an incident we witnessed when neighbors began to gather outside to try to find their vehicles after the blizzard (“Are you SURE you parked the car right here? ‘Cuz I only see a tree here”), from the point of view of the pet whose dignity was compromised. If we could get inside the thoughts of this pet—we’ll call him Tiny Dog—I think we'd find something like this:
We're going outside? Finally. Yay!
Wait, what are those?
PLEASE don't put little snow boots on me. Do you know what happens to dogs who wear little snow boots in public? Nooooo...
Fine, fine, I’ll wear the little snow boots. But...don't take me outside in them, okay?
Okay, not a bad idea to go outside after being cooped up all these hours, if you get my meaning...and hey, maybe none of the other dogs will see me.
Wait, what's that? Why are you pointing your phone at me? No, no pictures in these little snow boots—!
[Snap.]
Fine, take a picture. But DO NOT post it on Facebook. Sure, YOUR friends will think it's cute. I'll be the laughingstock of...hey, why are you pushing all those buttons on the phone? What are you DOING?
You posted it, didn't you. Oh, I am so toast. I will never be able to hold my head up again.
Hey, what's this? NOW what are you doing?
Of course. There is a hat. Ya know, I'm okay with the hat. Just pull it down a little more, would you, please? Annnnd a little more.
I can't see a thing. Perfect. Snap away.
