Sweater

sweater woman SweaterOk I think sometimes we are going a bit over head with dressing up.  I am always a bit ambivalent when I see a dog in a sweater. Is it cute? Is it necessary? I mean, sure, we as human, are not really well equiped to deal with the cold weather and the snow. But what about dogs? And trees? Do we want to dress them up too? Just a wink to those of you who really really like sweaters.

———–

Ok je pense que quelques fois on exagère un petit peu avec les vêtements. Je ne suis jamais certaine de ce que je ressent quand je vois un chien avec un chandail. Est-ce que c’est cute? Nécéssaire? Certain que nous, les humains, ne sommes pas très bien équipés pour faire face aux hivers (surtout ceux d’ici). Mais les chiens? Et les arbres, eux? Est-ce qu’on va les habiller un jour? Alors cette illo est en fait un clin d’oeil à tout ceux qui aiment beacoup, beaucoup les chandails.

    I think you may have a point there. Still, some dogs look pretty darn cute in a sweater. As always an excellent illustration.

    Yes, true I have seen dressed up dog looking pretty darn cute too!! hehehe ok I guess what I am unsure of is… dog in a dress. The sweaters can stay. Not the dresses… please. That’s probably where I draw the line. :)

    Lovely collage. I’ve seen “sweaters” on all sorts of things … mailboxes, telephone booths but never a cat! I don’t think the cat would stand for it. Yes Isabelle, or the lack of a “sweater.” Thanks! :-)

    Oh, lovely. I see also many trees wearing sweaters in the forest , where also fairy tree houses can be found. But not with such patterns!! Nice collage!

    Haha. I love this. You out did yourself when you put a sweater on the tree. That upped the charm factor to 11.

    Very very cute. I love the shape of everything.

    Hahahaha! This is so cool! Oh, I love the sweaters, and your skinny, skinny legs are awesome! Dog body temperatures are higher than humans, but still, whenever I see a tiny dog shivering, I want to bundle it up. :D
