At the recent wedding I went to in Portugal one of the guests brought along her dog as her ‘plus 1′. This in itself is fucking ludicrous. But it gets worse.

The dog had it’s own bag. Think handbag, but with a couple of vents for ‘windows’. Think tiny fucking rat-like dog sticking it’s head out like a mere cat. It was possibly the most ridiculous sight I’ve ever seen at a wedding.

Worse still, the dog and it’s bag had it’s own place setting. Meaning that the bride and groom had paid for the dog to attend the wedding. I shit you not.

Dogs have legs. Please let them use them. Don’t pick them up and put them in a Prada lookalike mini-mobile kennel.

I thought it was only dumb rich fuckers like Paris Hilton that put dogs in bags, alas no. This dog bag owner was just a normal person. Well, I say normal. She was as normal as anyone who talks to their dog like a real person can be. At one point she asked the dog what it thought of the food. She’d have shit herself if it had replied ‘overcooked’ like that dog on That’s Life. So I guess that with hindsight she was actually a fucking loon.

Anyway, any of you dog owners ever thought of carrying Fido round in a bag of his very own?
