 Thats pathetic. It was in Wales in the precinct part. Never the less it was still in a food trolley. I wonder what it would cook like instead of a turkey.

OOOOOOH! Now youv'e gone and done it!!!

 

As a cat owner I can see your point........................but you have stirred up all the pooch lovers LOL!

A pooch lover I may be but I really don't see why owners feel the need to ridicule their pets in this way.

[Heather]

i really dont see the issue, my sister has dogs that wear clothes and so does my friend, all the dogs are small dogs that feel the cold so they wear jumpers and jackets etc. Some of them actually dont even have any hair so would really feel it without them 

[NannyFerret]

By the looks of it, the little dog probably wears a proper dog jacket normally. He looks quite happy.
I have a padded waterproof jacket for my little  dog.
I believe that if it's cold for a human, then it must be just as cold for an animal, especially if it's fur isn't over thick..

Animals would probably be curling up somewhere to keep warm if they were wild. We choose to take them out for walks so unless they have nice thick fur they need to be kept warm and dry. 

I guess the owner is just showing a bit of Christmas spirit.

SJ. Did nobody tell you that pets are easier than kids?   

 

[seajunky]

Yea but they don't taste as nice    

[fuzzyedges]

 my sister has dogs that wear clothes and so does my friend,

 

 

Does your friend feel the cold as well ? its a good job she has taken to the cloths then

[NannyFerret]

Yea but they don't taste as nice    

Oh no. Don't start me on that, SJ.   

Have you seen how dogs  are kept and treated only to be bashed to death before being eaten? 

[seajunky]

Hey Fuji you where right, it's started something now. Don't worry Tine there's not enough meat on a little dog like that. I would much prefer a turkey.

I'll only eat one that's voted for Christmas

[NannyFerret]

I'm having a Quorn Turk'y roast for Christmas.
I bought Quorn Turk'y burgers last week and they were lovely. 
If you tried one without knowing that it wasn't once alive, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, except that it's not fatty.

I used to like Quorn until I found out what it is.

I am not even going to ask lol but it is supposed to be very good for you.

Anyway,, It can't be as bad as what's in a McDonalds burger.

Just to put people right on the dressing of dogs subject.
I just got this in a Care Two email.

 

It’s been unusually cold in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve been huddling in front of the heater, andSanchez and Gina are cuddled in their dog beds, even more than usual. When the temperature begins to fall, pets will need a little extra care. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Jeff Werber, a renowned veterinarian and pet parenting specialist who has dedicated his life to the care and protection of animals. Dr. Jeff provided these tips on everything you need to know to keep your pet warm, healthy, andsafe all season long.

1. Sweaters for small dogs

Most dogs with healthy skin have a great ability to insulate themselves. Their fur protects them during the cold and heat. But, smaller breeds have a larger surface area per body weight than larger breeds, so as a result they can lose more body heat to the surrounding environment than a big dog or cat.  This is exactly why many veterinarians will recommend little “doggie sweaters” for dogs under 25 pounds. Without protection, they are in danger of being hypothermic. Next time you see a small dog wearing a sweater, don’t laugh. Instead, compliment their pet parent on taking good care of their dog. And, when temperatures drop to less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit, even the larger dogs may need some assistance.

2. Booties for dogs of all sizes

Freezing temperatures are not the only  winter problem.  Many cities and municipalities pour salt on the sidewalks and streets to help melt the snow and minimize the inherent slippery surfaces.  This salt can be very irritating to the feet of our beloved dogs and cats. Dr. Werber highly recommends cleaning their feet after each walk to remove any residue. Better yet, try some booties (like Pawtectors®) to provide the necessary protection.

3. Heated water bowls

If you leave your pet outside during the day and the temperature drops below freezing, he won’t have access to drinking water when it turns to ice. Purchase a heated water bowl so that fresh water will be available to them anytime, no matter the temps. Another alternative is a lick-it that hooks up to a faucet. You’ll just need to teach your dog how to use it.

4. Provide shelter from the elements

If you have to leave your pet outside during the day, they must have a place to go to be protected from the wind. Even worse than the temperature is the wind chill factor. If their enclosure is small, they may not be able to move around enough to generate heat, and Dr. Werber has heard of many stories from his northern, eastern, and Midwestern colleagues of hypothermia in even larger dogs.  His recommendation is to keep pets inside overnight, preferably in the house. Next choice is in a garage, barn, or shed.  A small floor heater, placed out of harm’s way, can also do wonders.

5. Don‘t forget the cat

Cats can be very resourceful. On those very cold nights, they seem to find warm places to hide. One of those warm places is under the hoods of cars on top of the warm radiator.  This suits them very well, and in most cases is probably a good choice. Unfortunately, however, the warm sleeping cat doesn’t have a prayer when that car is started up early in the morning and the poor feline becomes stuck in the fan belt. The injuries are often fatal. Dr. Werber has seen a few of these, and it wasn’t pretty. This should be reason enough to keep ALL cats indoors at night. Just in case you have feral cats in your neighborhood, it’s always a good idea to give a bang on the hood of your car before starting it in the winter months.

6. Be sensitive to your pet’s age

Personally, I’ve noticed that as Sanchez matures, he is less tolerant to temperature changes than when he was younger. When he was a puppy, I brought him to Oregon and he delighted in seeing snow for the first time and wanted to stay outside and play in it forever. However, now that he is 10 years old, he doesn’t want to be outside in freezing temperatures playing in the snow. Just as people are more sensitive to the elements as they mature, our pets can be the same.

Thanks to Dr. Werber for providing these great tips on helping prepare for the winter months ahead. If you have any additional tips for winterizing your pets, thanks for sharing them in a comment below. And thank you for sharing on Facebook (by clicking the F to the right of the main photo) so that other pet parents can keep their pets safe and warm during the colder weather.

Hmm, I've given up both LOL. But just for the record, Quorn is an artificially-grown fungus. Perhaps that doesn't bother you though

Artificial fungus yummy wheres my corrosive brown sauce, washed down with coca cola that shines pennies

[seajunky]

Im sure somebody said that Burgers are made from dogs, or was it for dogs, I can't remember now.

No, that doesn't put me off at all   Penicillin was made in a similar way

 

Probably a Chinese person.
