tutu
Written by patty on November 23rd, 2008I am greatly outnumbered in my family. Boy husband. Boy dogs. Boy children. Boy cat.
I tried overcompensating at first by getting a girl cat. And that look on her face may tell you right away, she’s not that into girl stuff. I’m not either. We get along great.
She’s a little feral. For the first year she lived with us, the only real cuddling we did was when she would jump on my back while I did yoga.
Actually, that’s the only real cuddling we’ve ever done.
When we brought this ridiculously adorable mess of a girl dog into our family last year, it’s possible I went overboard with the idea of having a fluffy little princess. I’m not sure why; girl stuff has never been my thing.
While shopping for dementor masks and ninja knives and other boy-like Halloween trappings last year, I may have picked up a purple tutu for her. What dog doesn’t want to dress up like a ballerina? Come on. You know they all do. It’s a great idea. Everybody thinks so.
Except, possibly, for Talullah.

You need to start praying NOW for granddaughters some day. It simply has to happen, if not for you, then for the future dogs in your life.
btw – I think that dog may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Exact opposite at my house. CT Dad outnumbered – me, 2 daughters, female dog. Younger daughter likes sports, so that helps. A little.
Jasmine the dog refuses to wear a tutu. But she can catch a frisbee like nobody’s business.
We try to keep the estrogen in check.

Nothing is sadder than a dog in a tutu, regardless of its gender.

Poor puppy! She looks just about exactly like how Wifester would look like if I were to make her put on a dress!
I have a mostly feral cat too, she’s 5 now and only sometimes lets me hold her, but she does let me pet her, when she wants food. I think we pair up with pets who are a lot like ourselves. I’m a free spirit, so’s Freeway. Wifester is loyal and gentle, so’s her dog. Birds of a feather, I suppose…
