It's called Extreme Grooming. There are magazines dedicated to this newish trend of subjecting one's fluffy furbabies to hours (and HOURS) of being poffed and puffed and pepped so that the owners could show them off in a contest.
For me, pets are meant to be companions, four-legged beings who run like the wind in sheer joy, comfort you when you're down, be the wild child and the good listener, the crazy thing that loves to walk, play, or sit watching TV. As long as you're with him, he's a happy one.
Making him sit for hours and hours and hours of grooming is not fun to him. Would you make your child do this? Oh wait, some parents do....
Sigh.
You know, I've laughed at Halloween pics of pets dressed up as ghouls and vamps, so I do think your furbabies and you can have fun with costumes, but when it's done like this, I think it's more a statement about you and your free time than a pet and you being silly for a special occasion, isn't it?
Man, can you see them taking one of the above babies for a walk? Oh, no, that'd mess up their dyed and coaxed fur! No playing in the grass, Frisky! Can't have you messing up that artsy creation to make you look like a camel! No, no, no, Lassie, bad dog, how many times must I tell you not to crawl under the house to chase the cat? You're a panda bear, not a dog, now sit and chew this fake bamboo stick mommy has made for you.
Gah.
