HOW 'BOUT THEM DOGS

Just in case you haven't seen the attached photo... we here at Dan Miller's Notebook want to make sure you don't miss it.
And by "we" here at Dan Miller's Notebook, I mean me.
The top photo is of a chihuahua named Mondex.
Just a few days ago, his impressive scuba outfit secured him first place in a pet fashion show in Manila.
Thanks to his unique look, Mondex got his photo posted in newspapers and websites all around the globe.
He looks so authoritative in his four-legged wet-suit that, I'm certain, rumors will start circulating that the Philippine government is considering him as a possible "frog-dog" for its navy.

The next photo was forwarded to me by someone, somewhere.
I have no idea whose dog it is... just that it's an astounding, on- the-money, Wonder Woman look-alike.

The third photo was also emailed from somewhere.
It shows a humiliated dog wearing a costume that depicts an alligator attack.
Wait a minute!... that is just a costume, isn't it?
I've often wondered whether dogs enjoy being dressed in these outlandish costumes, or is it something that should send us troubling messages about the dog's owners.
Perhaps you have wondered why cats don't show up in these silly outfits as often as dogs....
Well, there's an explanation.
A friend who owns cats says the reason is obvious.....
"Cats" -- he said -- "simply won't stand for it."
