Putting on the Dog

DOG SAYING: "Putting on the Dog." - author unknown

Putting on the dog is an expression that means to make a display of wealth or importance, especially by dressing stylishly and flashily. Although the origin of this saying is unknown, it is possible it relates to the fondness of the rich and showy for toting their tiny, pampered lapdogs around with them.

However, FIDO KNOWS that there is no need to make a public display of wealth or importance. Dressing stylishly is truly a human characteristic (although Bailey above seems to love her attire.) FIDO is perfectly happy with herself just as she is, whether that is hairless, chubby, wrinkled, or naked. She sees herself as spectacular no matter what.

Wouldn't it be lovely if we humans felt the same way? How much less fretting (and money) we would spend on impressing others! We could toss on anything and feel simply fabulous.

Let's take FIDO's word for it, and spend less time fretting on our appearance and spend less money on it too!
