Apparently there’s a new craze in China for dyeing pets to look like wild animals. I was going to write a whole blog about this but then decided that a couple of pictures would do the trick nicely — of a golden retiger and two pandapups.
As Confucius say, “Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.”
And now, back to the scrutable west.
I mustn’t show these pictures to my children. Or I must put their felt pens out of reach. One or the other.
I spent 6 years learning to look like a tree .. Then went to fight a war in the sand – go figure
Is it wrong to think these are kind of cute?
Not wrong exactly. But not right either.

I suppose it depends whether or not the animal comes to any harm? The above happened a few days ago a couple of miles from my home and didn’t fill me with pleasure, I’m afraid.
I think it’s the difference, Caroline, between a can of spraypaint and paying Jo Hansford hundreds of pounds.
It’s raising the stakes in the pet who looks most like their owner, or the dog the judge would most like to take home (pls only use animals featured on Deadly 60), etc… Anyway pix really made me laugh, thanks!
Yes, I agree that Jo Hansford would make a much better job than the disaffected youth of Uckfield Town, creative though their leisure time activities may be. A case of you pays your money and you takes your choice, maybe. Perhaps if I lurked round in some nearby bushes they might save me the outrageous cost of my purple streaks?
I tried not to buy your new book today. I really did. But somehow it ended up in my hands and came home with me.
Good dog.
