Dogs dressed as Mr Motivator...? Just wrong!

As I gawped I then noticed another little pooch peering out from the baggage rack underneath the buggy, emblazoned in pink.

They both stared back at me, their tongues lolling out their mouths, as if this was the most normal occurrence in the world.

It reminded me of the time I dressed my Jack Russell Nelson up as a mermaid for the fancy dress category in a dog show at a country fate.

The minute I slipped Nelson into his multi-coloured shimmery little number his tale drooped and he eyeballed me with a deflated look that said, "You're making me cross-dress now? How could you?"

As we entered the ring to join a variety of strange-looking animals, including a dog/bumble bee hybrid and a tiny pooch dressed as Mr Motivator, Nelson dragged his feet.

We then won fifth prize thanks to a sympathy vote because, as the judge said, "He just looks so miserable."

The minute the costume was off Nelson was back to his usual glory, tearing around wagging his tail and impressing the ladies with his ball skills.

I can only assume the dog in the grey t-shirt is much more comfortable with his masculinity...
