Omg!! You can’t believe this – the new designer dog!
(So dressing them up like people is not enough, now some people are dying them!)
I was phoned yesterday and asked by somebody if I thought it was ok to dye their dog! After I said absolutely no, can cause allergies etc, and plus it is a dog not a toy, the person went on to tell me that ‘simply everybody is not doing it”!
