What the hell is wrong with me?
November 15, 2006
On second thought, don't answer that. We don't have that many hours.
Here's one obvious problem, at least:
Just wait. It gets worse.
For the record, I am ashamed. Deeply ashamed. And yet...
Um. Hee?
The best part is that's an EXTRA SMALL sweatshirt. For dogs "5 lbs +/-" And Ceiba will ALWAYS be an extra small, because she will never grow up and stop being my eensy weensy baby, unlike SOME PEOPLE AROUND HERE who are suddenly wearing size 24 month clothing, which is totally not as cute as those little polka-dot footie jammies, and the hats hardly ever have ears on them anymore, and why do all the stores want to dress my child like a damn lumberjack?
Seriously: this plus these plus this equals:
This. Minus the ladies' undergarments, obviously, but still.
Okay, Noah might have the suspenders. And I think we do maybe have a similar kind of hat. And how damn awesome is this? But I draw the line at the shirt! I have my limits!
GOD. FINE. I totally don't, since the doggie sweatshirt wasn't even close to being the most obnoxious thing I purchased that day.
The hypocrisy! It burns!
Again: so deeply ashamed. I can't even bring myself to try them on, because what if I think they look kind of cute? WHAT THEN?
I am disgusted to be your pursedog, you silly fashion sheep-type person.
I love it all! And being first! Yeah me!
Oh! Oh! Am I the first commenter?!
I have to say the pictures of Ceiba cracked my ass UP and totally made my day! Don't feel bad, I have a hoodie for my damn PITBULL.
I love Ceiba's sweater but return the tights you don't live in Hollywood and thats the only place those belong. That and maybe a dance studio. But thats it.
Your doggie is so cute. She does not seem to be enjoying the joy that is canine fashion. Maybe she is easing into it?
The 3rd picture down is almost (ALMOST!) as awesome as The Mexican Painters that are singing at the top of their lungs whilst working on my next door neighbors house.
Oh my God. NOW SOMEONE IS WHISTLING THE SONG.
HAHA.
arg! don't succumb to the 80's fashion revival. Just pull out a picture of you in 7th grade wearing the leggings and having big hair. Sit there and think about how silly you look and then you will decide maybe the leggings are not the best thing to do to yourself! or Noah. Think of Noah.
That dog in that sweater is just to flipping much!!! I can't stand it!!! It's just too funny and the way she is laughing at us! You go Ceiba!
What an awesome post! I love those photos!
Wow! What are you going to do with those "footless tights"?
Seriously.
I am confused.
You are so hilarious! This post made me laugh out loud multiple times.
footless tights are in the same category as crotchless underwear - why bother?
In that last picture Ceiba totally looks like Yoda. An adorable, dressed in GAP, purse-sized Yoda. Too cute.
Also? Footless tights/leggings? NOOOOOO!!!!! Back away and have Jason return them.
Well, I for one am behind your dressing of Ceiba in a Gap hoodie, but then I can't talk, because here's the most recent picture of *my* dog:

Oh, and footless tights? Check. They actually look quite cute worn under dresses, just as long as you wear boots with them. And yes, I know that kind of defeats the purpose of the whole "footless" bit, but I like to think of them as very thick tights.
I've never seen footless tights! Are they just thinner versions of leggings? What do you do with them?? Wear them under jeans??
It baffles my mind.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
Seriously. I'm completely baffled as to how these things managed to come home with me.
Jason thinks they're cute. Jason is probably crazy.
Yaaay - Ceiba pictures! It gets cold in the winter, right? She *needs* a sweater. She'll thank you then (maybe).
those tights are for the dog right?
Right? RIGHT? RIGHTTTTTTTTTTT?
I whined and complained about how the skinny jeans and pants reminded me of 7th grade and mall bangs. And what did I buy last Friday??? yep.
I, too, think the footless tights are cute.
Ceiba looks fabulous. And I'm sure you'd look cute in the footless tights...but it's like when I saw the girl w/"Juicy" written across her ass while wearing Uggs. I just thought, "damn, could you try any harder???"
Jason is right. They are cute.
I like the leggings idea because I can wear my skirts in the cold weather (YAY!) and chase my toddler without fear of showing WAAAY too much 'blinding white winter leg skin'. (eek! and eew!)
Footless tights? Say it aint so! My world is crushed...
I tried to buy Hudson some clothes this weekend, and they were ALL LUMBERJACKY or footy and for tiny babies, too. He ended up with shoes so he will quit eating his socks and a hat to cover up the bruise he got from falling off the bed.
Okay seriously. The davy-crockett wannabe 'coon tail hat? Eewww.
But also - Ceiba makes me laugh and oh how I needed that today!
I adore footless tights, and I even call them LEGGINGS. Enjoy 'em.
But really, I'm commenting because Ceiba is adorable, and I showed the pics to my coworker who has a miniature dachshund who wears the same GAP hoodie. My coworker is now completely enamored of you and Ceiba. But she wants to know whether you got the hoodie for $.97, because that's how much she paid, and she's proud of that fact.
P.S. I recently converted this very coworker to LEGGINGS.
Ceiba's only pissed because you got her the sweatshirt in Blue. She wanted Pink! Blue is for boys and Lumberjacks.
Love Ceiba in her hoodie! I can never find cute stuff in my dogs' sizes and I only wish I was kidding.
I say go with the leggings! If I didn't fear constant ridicule from my friends, I'd buy them in a heart beat. Secretly I look at them every time I go into the Gap, but my husband would seriously disown me.
And really? Hats without ears? That's just wrong.
I heart your baby dog, and I hope you dress Noah up like a lumberjack next Halloween.
But the tights? Are unforgivable. And they will haunt your dreams.
PS. The faux fur hat reminds me of the kid that Ralphie beats up in A Christmas Story.
That's the biggest problem with the leggings (um, I mean footless tights) - they ARE cute! Damn the trends!
Of course, Ceiba chose to go classically fashionable in her hoodie.
please back away from the footless tights. for the love of god.
*laughs hysterically*
I think you should just walk on by the Gap store next time. Just walk on by..
Haaaaa! Ceiba trying to look all tough and fromt the hood in that picture is hilarious! Who knew Gap made doggie sweatshirts?
Pssst...the Children's Place makes adorable footie sleepers in 24 month and up! They have great sales too. We snapped up six fleecy footie sleepers for our huge toddler, and he looks so freaking adorable walking around in them that I have told my husband, "I am NEVER cutting his hair. He looks too cute and fuzzy."
Footless tights are evil and must be stopped. That is all.
PS. Ceiba looks so adorable in the hoodie. SO. CUTE.
My nephew has a flannel shirt. I asked if he was a Seattle Grunge Rocker or a lesbian. Luckily, she laughed instead of kicking my ass.
And by "she" I mean my sister. The mother of the grunge rocking lesbian lumberjack. :p
AHHHH! But! this is where you parenting can just be oh-so-amusing! You need to teach Noah to say "I'm a lumberjack and I'm Okay!" and then send him out in public with that hat. Because that could only produce years of hysterical laughter for you and Jason and any potential dates he may bring home. Because you will video this. :)
Is this why God hasn't let me have children yet?
Ceiba is cute!
Hee!
How much does your XS Ceiba weigh? Because I too was looking at that same doggie hoodie, but was afraid that it might be too big for 4.5lb Henry! Inquiring minds want to know how accurate Gap dog sizing is...
Purse dogs need to stay warm too!!
Okay, I can't stop laughing at those photos of Ceiba. Seriously.
THAT LAST PICTURE! a ha ha ha ha ha Thanks for the laugh.
Oh, now all you need is a spiked collar and Ceiba will look totally "thugalicious." (Yes, that's a word. A word I made up right now.) And just think how awesome you'll look walking your ghetto mini pinscher in the suburbs.
I love how Ceiba is all happy in that first picture...then, after sight of those "footless tights" it's all downhill for her.
WTF? Seriously. Ceiba needs little red boxing gloves to complete the look. Are you involved in some underground Purse-Dog-Fight-Club that we should know about? (Is that the Brad Pitt version of Ceiba in the picture or the Edward Norton version?) I'm really beginning to question all of her past injuries now....hmmm.
Laura - Ceiba weighs just about 5 pounds, give or take an ounce or two. Fits her perfectly and hey, look at that bald tummy! She NEEEEEDED it!
Amy, oh, my hell.
Ideas for Christmas...
OH MY GOD.
Cheryl, you just killed me. I am dead. I will never recover.
Except for one...last...reach for the credit card...and...*dies*
LOL! That is hysterically funny. I can totally picture Ceiba in some Dogg Pound gear.
What's my Mutha effin' name, biotch?
Ceiba dooogggyyy dooooog.
bow wow wow yippee oh yippee a
OH, DOGGIE! There you are. Arooooo! Woof-woof! Cute outfit.
Amy - Thank you!
I think I now have to go and order a hoodie for Henry. You're right, bald tummies need to be protected!
Although, Snoop Dog calls...
Okay? Poor Ceiba being dressed up in the sweatshirt--hilarious. The footless tights--scary. I'm just glad the two will never come together. That would never happen, right?
This reminded me that I accidentally bought toeless tights instead of real tights, because I cannot read apparently, and now I'm afraid to wear them out in public. Because in open-toed shoes, aren't I going to look a little bit homeless? Like one of the toes ripped so I just cut them all off? Homeless chic? Sigh!
