Title: WE WERE AMAZED
Post by: shelagh on September 17, 2011, 01:36:50 PM
One sight seen in Bruges absolutely tickled us to death and caused very strong language to be used (in private ofcourse) regarding the following pictures.  I have to say that none of the 6 of us are pet lovers which perhaps accounted for our gobsmacked amazement.  I don't want to upset any forumists because I know a lot of you are devoted to pets, but we thought this was going a bit far.  The animal in question even had it's own teddy in the vehicle. ::)

I can see why you didn't put this in the wildlife section, Shelagh!
I do know someone who used an old pushchair for a child to be able to get an old blind dog more easily and safely through the streets to an open park where he could have a run in the open... but this does seem a bit excessive......  ::) ::)
One hears of folk regarding their pets as child substitutes (I'm saying nothing!!) but this couple seem to embody that wholeheartedly.  :-\
Shudder to think what that fancy buggy cost! :P

Maggi I had to run to get in front of the woman to get the final picture, when she saw me she didn't look terribly pleased. ;D

Aha, Wim the archeologist shows he can not only decipher ancient  clues! That flag tells a story... but is it a Dutch flag, a simple red, white and blue, or  is there a hidden crest in the centre... for Croatia? ??? ???

 ;D ;D  ::) I think these things are hilarious....you can love your pet, but this is absurd, soon they'll have to give them medicines against cardiovascular diseases caused by lack of exercise ::) ::)

Are they not all the same dog? I thought it was allowed out for a short period, when it wouldn't get its feet wet or dirty.

We have a TV ad here at present where a family has done off to Australia for a holiday, leaving Granny at home to babysit the dog, a pugnacious little body with a snarl on its face. They arrive home to find Granny has clad it in bright pink clothing and a large pink satin ribbon attached to an ear!
