Dog fur? That's so last season.

This weekend I was boning up on canine fashion, and one of the trends I learned about was wigs. Wigs for dogs! According to Tracey Morales, owner of Planet Poochie [1] in Kirkland, hairpieces for furry dogs are all over the runways these days. I kid you not. I snapped this shot (with my phone camera) of a mannequin at Planet Poochie modeling pink locks along with a snazzy spring dress. I haven't seen a real dog in a fake wig yet, but I'm bothered by how glamorous this model looks.
