January 15.
Today is National Hat Day. A day
to celebrate headgear. Hats can have
many purposes from keeping the sun out, to keeping you warm. Some even
protect your head – like helmets and hard hats.
There are loads of hats styles from Ascot Caps to Zucchettos. And if you search for images on-line of dogs
in hats – well you find a huge variety of styles worn by canine victims. It’s a sad sight if you ask me. It actually goes with yesterday’s holiday –
which I neglected to mention because of my enchantment with our winter
wonderland. Well – maybe that wasn’t
REALLY the reason I didn’t write about the day…it was National Dress Up your
Pet Day. In my mind, that’s right up
there with Give your Dog a Bath Day.
I actually thought that this “phenomenon”
of human’s dressing pets in ridiculous attire was a relatively new creation. Wrongo.
Take a minute to look at this website with old photos of pets dressed
up.
So humans have been crazy about dressing up
their pets for a long time. My human
took a look through her collection of vintage dog postcards and found a few
more examples.
And then, of course, we have a
selection from our own collection of headgear photos. Good thing she feeds us well. Pretty well.
So hats off to all of us dogs who tolerate
our humans’ obsession for canine fashion.
Remember though, we PONs NEVER forget….
Have a happy Friday!!!
