WE WERE AMAZED

[shelagh]

One sight seen in Bruges absolutely tickled us to death and caused very strong language to be used (in private ofcourse) regarding the following pictures.  I have to say that none of the 6 of us are pet lovers which perhaps accounted for our gobsmacked amazement.  I don't want to upset any forumists because I know a lot of you are devoted to pets, but we thought this was going a bit far.  The animal in question even had it's own teddy in the vehicle.

I can see why you didn't put this in the wildlife section, Shelagh!
I do know someone who used an old pushchair for a child to be able to get an old blind dog more easily and safely through the streets to an open park where he could have a run in the open... but this does seem a bit excessive...... 
One hears of folk regarding their pets as child substitutes (I'm saying nothing!!) but this couple seem to embody that wholeheartedly. 
Shudder to think what that fancy buggy cost!

Maggi I had to run to get in front of the woman to get the final picture, when she saw me she didn't look terribly pleased.

Those crazy Belgians   Although, was the flag in the first picture attached to the "Pet-cab"? That's no Belgian flag

Not only Belgians Wim, one of our customers does the same with her dog, it has even a little water can like for hamsters to drink in its "pet-cab"

Aha, Wim the archeologist shows he can not only decipher ancient  clues! That flag tells a story... but is it a Dutch flag, a simple red, white and blue, or  is there a hidden crest in the centre... for Croatia?

Pure discrimination !
The second dog (see photo 1) has to walk !!!!! 

Well Shelagh, I told you Bruges is a great place - they do everything to entertain British tourists !

    I think these things are hilarious....you can love your pet, but this is absurd, soon they'll have to give them medicines against cardiovascular diseases caused by lack of exercise

Maggi,

just saw the line under my username, thanks for the "nick-name"   

[Maggi Young]

It's been there for some time, Wim.... I love waiting to see how long it takes people to notice!

..don't be so hard on the poor thing...it isn't used to walking up hills

Are they not all the same dog? I thought it was allowed out for a short period, when it wouldn't get its feet wet or dirty.

We have a TV ad here at present where a family has done off to Australia for a holiday, leaving Granny at home to babysit the dog, a pugnacious little body with a snarl on its face. They arrive home to find Granny has clad it in bright pink clothing and a large pink satin ribbon attached to an ear!

Well spotted about the flag Wim and yes Lesley they are all the same dog.
