There were a ton of those over the garden wall folks. As a gnome person I was curious as to what they were.

We had a great time. Dressed like hipster Luigi and Daisy and our baby was Daisy jr.

Ran into a client. I made his Riddick costume last year.

Hakkesshu posted:

Yeah even if you can find a 100% safe way to do it, no good person should look at a dyed pet without thinking just a little bit that maybe you should not put an animal through that. It's like feeding them lovely food like cake or something because it's their birthday. Stop being a dumb human.

First, that article is on Cesar Milan's website, written by someone who evidently believes there are no dyes "officially" okay for dogs, which is either no longer true, or was quite possibly perfectly true but Cesar Milan's website knows nothing about dogs. Both are equally likely, as Milan is a dog-beating piece of poo poo that can't tell his dog from his rear end. Second, yes people shouldn't torture their animals by giving them a bowl of food and massaging them with stinky stuff. Behold, An Abused Dogge, cosplaying as a rainbow:



(beard man is not holding dog's leg, he's working on the green as you can see from his gloves)

PS if you, too, would like to abuse a dog, here's your stuff (probably not safe for cats) http://www.amazon.com/DOG-HAIR-DYE-PINK-Semi-permanent/dp/B00CJTD29Q or you can use kool-aid paste for a less permanent fix available in fewer colors

edit: also, if the pikachu image is real and not photoshopped, it can be accomplished with colored chalk dust and a very cooperative animal, but it washes off immediately. If they actually dyed a cat they're assholes because even though there's dog dye, I'm pretty sure there's no cat dye, and they are really small so it would be easy to poison one :ohdear:

Even when using colouring and materials that are safe for pets so that there is no physical harm, painting and dressing up pets comes across as really unsympathetic still because it is done entirely for the benefit of the owner and reduces the pet into a prop or plaything

Yes, it's too bad that dogs hate playing with and/or going places in public with their owners where they are highly likely to be given a lot of attention and petting. Terribly abusive.

Not sure how it would harm the dog if the dog doesn't care. There is an unfortunate trend of people projecting their emotions on their pets and making assumptions on their emotional state. Just because you feeeeeeeel like Professor Boom Boom doesn't like having a purple tail, doesn't mean that the dog gives a poo poo.

I think you should err on the side of the dog caring, which is just generally good advice for the care of animals. Please do not dye your pets.

Giving your dog cyber augs may look cool and make them a more efficient killer but the benefit is purely for the owner and may cause the dog discomfort.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
Years ago I got as a gift a coffee table book on painted cats. Some of them were purely artistic and colorful, some had real patterns on them (like done up to look like a pig for instance) and the commentary was ridiculous because they treated it all like top shelf art critics and that every color choice had a deep, political meaning behind it, rather than the fact that it was obvious that in some cases people just liked painting their cats. It did however mention some cases where it was very clear the cats were aware of their paint job. Most notably three cats painted different colors at some home for disabled kids or something like that. They each had matching bowls to their color, and instinctively knew which bowl matched which cat. That said, they certainly didn't seem to mind that they were a new color. If the dye is non-harmful, it isn't hurting the animal.
