We've been known to go searching around Etsy just to spy on whatever cute, snorglable dogs are modeling sweaters and carriers being sold by their crafty owners. (If you're having a bad day, searching for "dog sweaters" on Etsy is a great past time. Maybe a bit sad, but still fun.)
However, this time around, I noticed a few of the dog and cat models on Etsy were not so happy.
And it made me die laughing.
Maybe it shouldn't have. Maybe I should have been all, "Oh! Those horrible pet owners forcing their dog to model sweaters! Abuse, I tell you! Abuse!"
But I found it incredibly amusing. Most of the dog and cat models on Etsy look perfectly happy.
But the following pups and cats are anything but...
5) "Come lay with me, darling. Here. I've even made you a spot."
This cat looks like he's not exactly excited to be demonstrating how soft this cat blanket it but then, heeeey - you show up. Wouldn't you like to take a little cat nap with him? Look at all the room he's giving you. Would you like a glass of wine? White or red? Cab or merlot? Has he told you how smokin' you're lookin' lately?
4) "Please don't make me go back in there. Please! You don't know what it's like!"
Look at those eyes! Just look at them! No matter how comfortable this black and white fleece dog blanket looks, this little pup looks like if he has to go back in that blanket and look all snuggly one more time, he's just going to lose it. And then walk out. He simply just doesn't get paid enough for this!
3) "Are you happy? Is this what you wanted? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?!"
Maybe it's the underbite talking, but this dude looks piiiiissed. And really, if you were forced to wear a Leo The Lion dog costume, you might be a little pissed off, too. But this little guy looks like he's two seconds away from calling his agent and storming off set. Or throwing his cell phone at someone's head.
2) "Just take the fucking picture."
This experienced sweater model can't believe how amateur you are, and the you would expect him to wear something like this! (This being a ivory fisherman dog sweater that I'm sure most dogs would love to wear, but this one? Oh no. He's like so over it.)
1) "You'll pay for this, child. When you least expect it...maybe in your sleep...YOU'LL PAY."
This is the angriest, scariest looking cat in the world. I mean, I'm sure its lovely, but put him in a cat hoodie and it's game over. Put this cat in a hoodie, and there's now a curse upon your house and hex against your family. Put this cat in a hoodie, and the end is nigh. Just. Don't. Do it.
