Dog House Blog, Roaring Rodents!

Molly The Wally Goes To Japan!

We are pleased to note that we cats and dogs are not the only critters out there made to wear things we’d rather not. Yes straight from the land of the rising sun we bring you ‘Rodent Couture’. Tokyo-based designer, Maki Yamada, offers a selection of wacky clothes and accessories for rodents ranging from $3.50 to $18.50. The creations include a black-and-red ninja suit, a lace wedding dress with matching veil, and a straw hat with clip-on human like hair extensions. While the premise of guinea pig clothes may seem ridiculous to some, Yamada truly believes her project is for the better good of guinea pigs worldwide. “A lot of people get bored with their guinea pigs,” she reasoned. “They will take photos of them for the first week and then get bored and don’t care about them. But if you put clothes on them for a special occasion and post more pictures of them online, you are at least giving the guinea pig more love and attention.”
Her next project will be outfits for prairie dogs. What next may be a skunk? I’d like to see her try. We dedicate this post to Ann My Pawsitively Pets here for Nibblet.









And if you think those were bad.......kitties run and hide!



Have a happy Fursday everybody!

    Well, maybe she has a point and people will care more for their pets if they wear clothes. Better guinea pigs than us. We don't like wearing clothes.

    XXXOOO Daisy, bella & Roxy

    We have had guinea pigs before and they were fun, but we never dressed them up. Wonder if dogs think they taste like squirrel?

    Awww thanks for the dedication. Nibblet says no thanks - LOL! I'm not sure their reasoning for dressing the piggies up is all that accurate, but the piggies are pretty cute! Maybe you can dress Ratty Rat up. Not sure what to think about the cats video lol... strange...

    Those cats do NOT look happy :)
    We probably shouldn't say this as there is no way people should be dressing guinea pigs up in clothes but they do look adorable!

    Hey Molly!
    Wow, that's BOL funny! Love that little guy's santa hat. I guess, why not dress them up too. Hopefully they all get lots of treats for putting up with that. OMD that kitty sushi video is horrifying! Run, kitties is right! Run fast and far. Yuck, that's nasty. Better to chuckle at the piggies. BOL

    Hmmm now whee would not be seen dead in these, in fact whee are wondering how on earth they got them to wear them at all?!

    Mummy agrees with little hats and maybe a cloak but anything else and whee become pretty upset and throw ourselves around. Maybe this is ok for some animals but whee Hutch A Good Life piggies say a very loud "Hell No!". Whee are piggies not dollies.

    OH yeah. I'm past my 40's and my mother still tries to dress me. *sigh*

    BTW, my blogger reader list for some reason went haywire, again. Today I had 137 unread posts. Yesterday I had zero. This morning I had zero. Now I have 137. All unread by me and I had been wondering where everyone went. I'm glad to be able to see you again.

    We are pretty happy that we don't have to wear clothes very often, just for some silly photos, but we do think the guinea pig looks rather chic:)

    Oh man, when I had my guinea pig, Dilbert, I REALLY wanted to dress him up like that. I think you take the cake for most dolled up animal of the bunch. Happy Friday!

    The Sushi Cats is just WRONG! We can't believe those cats cooperated with the filming of that silly video. Of course if there is fish involved we would have eaten it before filming could begin.

    We are ROFL over the guinea pig with the hat and blonde wig. MOL!

    We saw a lot of dressed up animals at BlogPaws, mostly the dogs had shirts or tutus, but there were some with dresses. And the cats were dressed up too. I didn't see any dressed up Guinea Pigs or ferrets but that doesn't mean there weren't any.
