ACCESSORIES celebrated tailor ’ s frequently used SLABDCH when measuring particular customers . The translation ? “ Stands like a broken down cab horse !”
I know a gentleman who often seeks my counsel when deciding on what colour to choose for his dog ' s lead and collar . The dog in question is a delicious minky-grey so that neutrality suggests the complete rainbow , the owner rejecting black because it is too harsh , he feels . Yet another has his grandmother crochet coats for his pet – a rat catcher type which resembles mini versions of the sofa throws from The Big Bang Theory .
But , sadly with price an issue , Tail-or- Made cannot be for every dog , however deserving . Spare a thought for Molly from Essex , a cocker spaniel who can untie shoelaces , open doors and helps with the washing up but whose owner can ' t afford such luxuries . Or celebrate the handsome and beautiful mutts which the glorious pet charity PDSA treats and Battersea
Home tries re-home , or indeed St Mungo ' s charity . Still , a dog can dream ...
Exquisitely made and made to echo the owners ' choice of coat there is something so very reassuring about striding through park , forest or wood with a matched companion . And with a certain brand of doggy treats selling for more than fillet steak , the ones who disagree with all this pooch-pampering might just have to get used to that little green monster .
