Speak Softly...Now Put Your Hat On!

What a sweet dog.  I wonder if he got lots of treats?

I picked up a copy of  "Coffee News" while having lunch at my local restaurant and started reading about a business in Atlanta, Georgia that is called, "To Scarborough Fair."  The owner, Amelie, makes top hats, berets, and whimsical headgear for her customers' four-legged friends.  She suggests that her customers speak gently and soothingly on top of offering treats to their pets as a way to relax the animal and make them interested in wearing something on their heads.  

This dog looks very happy wearing the pink sombrero.

Well, my dogs get lots of treats and are spoken to softly and ever so soothingly, but they aren't having anything to do with wearing a hat on their head any day soon!

Rosco's B-Day hat didn't put a smile on his face! 

I think all 3 of my dogs agree:  Leave the hats to the cats!
