The strangest thing...

I go to pick up the little banana split from doggie daycare yesterday. She's all cute and fuzzy and sleepy, gets real close to me ear and whispers...

"You gotta go back there," She says, in between nose nudges and licking, her little pug eyes peering past the puppy enclosure, a look on her face I've never seen before, and one which I've concluded is loathing.
"Go back where?" i say
"To the back,the grooming area. It's the strangest thing i've ever ever seen, and it's going to give me nightmares. So i need you to see it and tell me it's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen, and um, i'll also need to sleep on your head tonight. I feel uncomfortable." Says Molly
"Ok" I say.

I go back. To the grooming area. And there, is a bright almost florescent pink if not fuscia dog. It looks kinda Bichon Frisce-ish (sp?) and it is BRIGHT freakin pink. The whole dog, save for some weird reverse raccoonige around his eyes.

Molly leans over, licking my ear so no one can hear, and says,

"Seeeeeeee....I told you!"
"You're right. It is the most ridiculous thing,"

Now Barb and I, my ethics sound board for things of this nature, spoke at length today. She is convinced it's dog abuse. I don't know that I would go that far, it definately however, falls under the "there is so much i don't understand about people, and reading all the jung and freud i can get my eyes on won't help me with this one" it's just WACKY. I don't understand it.

And frankly, if a 4 pound puggle, cute as she is, is mocking you, making fun of you, and teasing you relentlessly, well I can't help but think fuschia is probably not a good look, and probably going to create a dog that struggles a bit with their self esteem and a lot with their ability to feel attractive. It's gonna give the dog a terrible, insane complex.

That's all I'm saying.

Molly agrees. Oh my, she just swore. She's livid about this whole thing.
