"That dog needs pants!"

{photo via accidental mysteries}

When I saw this photo a few days ago, it reminded me of my nephew's most memorable comment when he was first introduced to my sister's sharpei dogs. My nephew Max was about 6 at the time and hadn't been around many dogs except a cairn terrier and a scottish terrier - you know, they have modesty fringe. Max took one look at Nelson - the male sharpei - and announced to all of us "That dog needs pants!"
