Some folk like to put a coat on their dog, especially in the winter, but I prefer the idea of a beaded curtain.
The curtain would hang from a sort of waistcoat, leaving the head, and tail completely uncovered. Reaching down to ground level, it would conceal the legs, but allow total freedom of movement, and swish around as the dog went about its business.
Butch type dog owners could select a heavy macho style curtain that featured lots of metal bits, like hexagonal nuts, washers and round brass balls.
For the more delicate dog there would be a lacy curtain with chandelier type hanging baubles and other bling-like appendages. Disco dog could have chaser LEDs, but for the hippy dog, only the original beaded curtain will do.-- xenzag, Jun 02 2008 A superior sort of dog with concealed legs. http://www.collecto....com/magic/mr01.jpg [wagster, Jun 02 2008] Shih Tzu http://www.my-pet-m...6/09/Shih%20Tzu.jpgSmall dogs with huge personalities [8th of 7, Jun 02 2008] A guy in my town just got a long sentence for beading his dog.-- bungston, Jun 02 2008 Probably one should incorporate the beads into the dogs long flowing coat. Shorthair breeds could get extensions for this purpose.-- bungston, Jun 02 2008 Florence had a friend like that.
