Straw is good enough for my dogs

I'd thought I'd seen it all, but last week brought a new one. For some time now they've been advertising Snuggies on television and explained how you can be warm, answer the phone, and read while encased in a Snuggie. Later Snuggie came out with leopard prints and a variety of colors. There are Snuggies for college students, Snuggies for kids, but the final straw was when I got an advertisement in my paper last week selling Snuggies for dogs.

For only $9.99 you can get a Snuggie doggy blanket in a variety of sizes. The ad displayed a cute little dog on the front of the ad sitting there all warm and snug in his Snuggie.

I can't see buying a $9.99 Snuggie for each of my three dogs. First of all, Jake, the German shorthair has over a period of time chewed his way out of two different chain link fences and the other two dogs a.k.a. Drifter and Colonel have managed to eat the top off of a plastic water bucket, chewed up the entrance to the dog house and last week managed to destroy a nylon lead rope. I can't picture them chasing quail with a Snuggie wrapped around them as they are in the field harvesting all the cockleburs and sticktights.

My answer to the Snuggie has been a $3 bale of straw which gets stuffed into their dog houses when winter arrives.

What will they come up with next.
