the sweater that sealed my fate




I admit it: I used to make fun of older ladies who wear coordinating tops and bottoms emblazoned with zebras, reindeer, or any other kind of animal. I always wondered at what age you decide clothes with pictures of animals on them are the way to go. But when I saw this sweater, I knew two things: a) I had to have it, and b) I was officially, undeniably, a Crazy Dog Lady.

Of course, there were other signs: a blog that's 80% about my dog, my catalog of Ike songs is so large it might be a candidate for a Glee tribute show (Ikeyjandro is my favorite, followed by Don't Cry For Me Ikeytina); the fact that I started tucking Ike in at night; the notion that Ike dropping a tennis ball in the bathtub is worthy of 6+ pictures.


My one saving grace is that I don't refer to Ike as my... cringe... furbaby.

But the dog sweater may have canceled that out.

  1. For what it's worth, I think you're rocking the dog sweater. And, if it makes you feel any better, I have a sweater from VS with what looks like reindeer on it. I even wore it out in public once - and I don't even OWN a reindeer!!!!!

  2. Hahaha! I have a coworker who wears stuff like that and I just don't get it! If it makes you feel any better I don't think your sweater is quite on the same level as matching holiday get-ups and such.

    And there is nothing wrong with thinking your dog is freaking adorable and hilarious all the time :0)
