Pet Dye Jobs: Cool or Cruel?
I was kind of at a loss when I saw this pic of a Westie outside of the Republican National Convention – talk about a serious dye job!

Trend Setters: Furry Streakers
Well, well, well, the first question that came to my mind when I saw these pups (after why) was how, 'cause I know there's at least someone out there wondering how to follow the trend of these pooches snapped in LA.
