Am I just being oversensitive...

Kade · 09-24-2005, 10:08 AM

Am I being prickly, or is this shirt completely obnoxious?

(Both answers acceptable, I swear.)

I dont think its that bad, actually, I think its cute! You dont take your hated enemys as back-up, you take your trusted (and tough!) friend. Rexie is my right hand lady, so yeah, Ill take her as back-up! You mess with me, you mess with my dawg!

***Cassiepeia*** · 09-24-2005, 08:03 PM

Yeah, I think it's cute too.

Do you suppose I would look silly with a t-shirt like that, but with the silhouette of a Chihuahua on it instead? ROFL

Cass.

Well you better not be messing with me!
I run at night with my dogs. If I didnt have the dogs I had, I wouldnt run at night. I rely on the fact they look intimidating (and in rexies case, have the temperament to back it up the looks). So yes, I do always bring back-up

princessjodi · 09-25-2005, 08:58 AM

I like it too! Many times my 'backup' has stopped sticky situations just because of their looks! No one needs to know they were / are big creampuffs! And with my mom home alone a lot (my dad travels) I feel much better with her having temp custody of my bro's pittie.

Giny · 09-25-2005, 09:22 AM

I personally never thought dogs should be looked at as a protector. I'd rather be there to protect them. Guess with 2 Toy Poodles I better be thinking that way.

So to answer you question, Kade, I do find it obnoxious also.

Well your kitty is bigger than boo and his bossy sister!!!

I think it is cute but I think it would be even cuter if it were offered in other breeds as well.

Sayuri · 09-25-2005, 12:17 PM

I honestly think it would be more powerful and entertaining if it was offered in breeds that weren't traditionally looked at as backup - a Poodle in full show coat (I would BUY a "backup" shirt with a show Poodle on it), a Chihuahua (tough little guys!), a Chinese Crested. As it stands now, the shirt doesn't really stand out to me - it looks like a lot of shirts I've seen in myriads of places.

tessa_s212 · 09-25-2005, 05:02 PM

I wouldn't wear it, that's for sure. I think it sends a bad message.....

If it had a Chi on it, I would wear it, though!

kazkirkpatrick · 09-25-2005, 06:08 PM

Ok, now I despise the whole "I cant do that because its not politically correct" hoohaa. To start off, its an outline of a breed of dog which I personally cannot distinguish. Its certainly not a pitty unless it stole legs from some other breed.

Im just bitter because I got my dog a huge fat leather collar, and someone told me I was making my dog look mean and scary by doing that. She looks good in it. Just because she is a corso doesnt mean she cant wear it.

Im grumpy, just ignore me
