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.
