   LOL! Sporadic decadence by obviously crazy humans hardly counts as evidence of the decline of Western Civilization (LOL!).

   On the other hand, self-loathing and cultural suicide are evidence of this. Making Islamic terrorists and Communists into heroes certainly is evidence of it.

   Anyway, dogs have a natural beauty that humans cannot in any way add to.

   It gave my three cats a good laugh.

   A while back someone emailed me pictures of many cats that had been very artistically painted at the behest of their owners. Some jobs to the tune of $1,200 – that had to be repeated several time s a year. I have great affection for animals. I’ve been owned by several. I would have never subjected them to that kind of humiliation.

   You should have seen on “It’s Me or the Dog” the late-middle-aged woman who surrounded herself with pink everything. I’m told pink light is most forgiving to an older woman’s skin. She had spray-painted her Maltese with blotches of hot pink. So don’t feel too bad for this dog — wigs can be removed. I do hope they do something for the dog’s eye, though.

   And I thought I was a little unbalanced about my pets: two cats, one dog, all their natural colors and hair lengths.

   I thought I’d clicked on Rachel Lucas for a minute there.

    I think I know the e-mail you’re talking about. I think those pictures were Photoshopped. At least I hope they were.

    I wonder if people who treat their dogs and cats this way really appreciate them for what they are. My experience with cats doesn’t go far enough, but if your appreciation of a dog goes down to the dog’s doggy nature, and to the character of that particular dog, why would you need or want to put a wig on it, especially a wig that has human styling?

    Oh it’s just for fun … it draws in added attention and everyone and sentinel being is happier. That being said I personally wouldn’t accessorize my pet with anything more than a leash … maybe more for the fun of it but just for the photo op.

    Ah, it just struck me, the larger issue concerns people that pay more attention to things such as dressing up their pets and ignoring their first responsibilities to their children, or other family members, and other people in general — now this, when this is the instance, is sick.

    There is actually a bigger story here, Neo, and with all due gender respect, I believe it is our cultural feminization. In the dog world, female breeders now require a purchase contract that stipulates the conditions of pup’s new environment, visitation rights of the breeder, and reserves the breeder’s control of mate and (usually one) ownership of offspring.

    Go backstage at any highend dog show and witness the dog hairdressers preparing their clients, just like a human salon…and that includes the personnel, 99% femmes and gays.

    Next, look at the dog shows themselves, e.g. Westminster. There’s no training evident in doggish arts (pointing, retrieving, herding), It’s dog models on runways, and the cutest dog wins. Of course, one must have diversity, so the same breed never wins best-of-show twice.

    So wigs for dogs and cats are merely a predictable extrapolation.

    Don’t blame the dog. Two weeks running free on the farm would do it a world of good, and reveal it’s doggy nature.

    It might not ever completely get over being treated as a live doll, but digging a few holes and chasing a few rodents would “undo” a lot of that.
