Rat Terriers

I like the tags in Flickr because they allow me to search for photos of things I am interested in. So I did a search for "Rat Terriers" which is the kind of dog I have, and have discovered that there are lots of other rat lovers out there. I also found out that it is not a trait of the breed to dislike wearing clothing and costumes. As proof, see the two images from Flickr in the links below:

Now I know the truth - it is Benton (my dog), not rat terriers in general, who are to blame! Yes, I am one of those crazy people who would love to dress my dog up for Halloween, Christmas, etc. He actually refuses to even wear a shirt when he is cold or a raincoat when we go on walks in the rain (and he really hates getting wet, so go figure). I once tried putting antlers on his head for just long enough to take a picture for a Christmas card, but he would not cooperate. Not sitting still for a photo, though, is apparently not something Benton is alone in, as you can tell from the title of this guy's flickr image:

I also discovered a "group pool" for rat terriers, which is a way for different members to have all the rat terrier photos in one place. Check out this image - it's hilarious:
