I'll admit to putting tiny clothes on my tiny Chihuahua (RIP), because she would chill easily. At least that's the story I told everyone. But I'd have to draw the line at something like Sanrio's Hello Kitty dog pants.

It's not that I have anything against Kitty White and her ever-expanding merchandising empire, it's just that you risk making your pooch a prime target for mockery, and possible shunning, by his doggie friends. Hello Kitty is a cat, after all. A cute-as-a-button anthropomorphic cat, but a cat nonetheless.

Besides, there's no way my current, gargantuan dog would fit in those things. Priced at $50, they're available in three sizes from Japan Trend Shop.
