How Do I Get Out Of This Chicken Outfit?

I wanna be the first dog to piddle on the moon!Now, I was told there'd be an in-flight movie...

Sender-inner Jennifer W. loved her pups Flossie (left) and Dougal so much, she shot them into space. Well, not for real, but with the help of Pets in Uniform, she put them in matching space suits, ready for blast-off.

"Everyone asks me how I got the dogs to pose so nicely," says Jennifer, "and how did I ever get them into the uniforms—they don't know they're photoshopped!" (Tip: You can tell from the pixels and from seeing a lot of Photoshops in your day.)

But it isn't just space suits; for a reasonable fee, Pets in Uniform will enlist your pet into any branch of the armed forces, as this sampling demonstrates:

Hrrphth mrrpth ith glurrphtth! Fancy a spot of sherry in the officer's club, old bean? Workers arise! You have nothing to lose but your leashes!
Sgt. Hubert "Biff" Miffman,
101st Tennis-Ball Battalion
Admiral Reginald Snarf-Bixby,
Captain, HMS Redonkulous
Jalea "El Gigante" Buñuelo,
President-for-life, Spanielvania
N-no c-c-coffee for m-me, th-thanks...
I've ... SEEN things. (shudder)
Lick that fur, soldier! You're a disgrace to this cat's Army!
Cpl. Percival "Twitchy" Limpet,
Specialist, Bomb Disposal
Lt. Marguerite Flang,
(position classified), Area 51
Sgt. Hank "The Tank" MgGuire,
Drill Sergeant, Camp Hairball

This is just a tad disturbing.

that site had me sold with the very first line:

"Imagine: your dog, cat, or other pet in full military regalia."

and I never thought I'd see pancakes in a spacesuit.

teh internets, you never fail me.

Don't wanna nuff - but the two navy pets are both Chief Petty Officers - and the two Army pets are four star Generals, lol - not a Captain and a Lt - or a Cpl and a Sgt.

I like the matching space suits. Since the Air Force encourages us to pose as
astronauts for a photo-op at the Air Show, looks ok.

Frankie

Uhyup... just a tad.

spb
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 09:10 PM

... disturbing that is.

 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 09:11 PM

@fritzlesnick: Thanks! :-)

I figured I'd get some details wrong, because my military knowledge is kinda thin. :-/

Tori -- lol. Same for me! I'm pretty sure that's all I've EVER wanted.

Ditto to Rach...Creepy

uh....weird.....

Wait, I thought I was on Cute Overload... this is more like Creepy Overload(and I say that as a loving dog owner).

Amanda
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 09:55 PM

That is a little strange and creepy.

h.w.
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 09:59 PM

hey CO great new add but there's been a mix up you put it where the sites content is supposed to be.

Dustin
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 10:00 PM

yay more Alien(s) references! I am a big fan of anything that gets us more Alien(s) references plus cute ani-pals on CO!

lggbie
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 10:02 PM

Well that's just wrong. Everyone knows cats don't follow orders.

Decca
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 10:21 PM

The one with all the medals, AND all the tennis balls... OMG.

Theo
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 10:29 PM

Apparently Dustin is such a big fan of C.O. because he cares so much about the site's content. Which makes it all the more puzzling how he has never noticed the "Product Cuteness" category.

Nicely done NTMTOM -- multiple hovertext kudos!

Wait... I just saw Tori's link.
My WTFs and my FTWs are currently fighting it out. My the best LOL win.

Theo
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 10:39 PM

I gave up trying to make sense of it about two minutes in. You just have to respect that kind of ingenuity.

Tori
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 10:48 PM

Lieutenant Marguerite is my fave. She does look like she's "seen things" and is still seeing them, perhaps.

soxfan
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 11:09 PM

Somebody better check Area 51, cause it looks like an ALIEN has taken over the body of Lt. Flang. There's something SUSPICIOUS about those eyes...

SoCalSis
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 11:14 PM

weird, weird, weird.

You can't play ball in here; this is the War Room!

For the record: the mouse-overs on this post made me L out L. Good stuff.

Dreamer
 |  Jan 20, 2009 at 11:58 PM

Ok, first of all: Creepy Overload indeed. Secondly: they're actually asking $20 for this? I'm not sure which of the two is more disturbing.

Louise
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 12:35 AM

that is just wrong. just wrong. not to mention a wee bit creepy. i'm a pacifist, so military stuff isn't my thing.

 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 01:46 AM

I'm calling Giant Scam on this thing. I mean, 20 DOLLARS?!? You can make fluffy into anything you want at any number of websites or applications for free, and make 'em disco dance on "Elf Yourself" FOR FREE.

And you probably do most of the work yourself on this "service" with "corporate clients."

Alison Randall

I might need a unicorn chaser for this. Baby unicorns cuddling with fluffy bunnies. Yes. And a rainbow, please.
Now make the evil looking uniforms go away.

The only Army that can't pass a lampost without lifting a leg.

 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 02:59 AM

@Hon Glad: LOL! Sure hope they're wearing kilts, not trousers!

Gail (the first one)
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 03:19 AM

To each her own. At least it didn't include the actual animals getting dressed up.
I'd rather spend my money on my youth orchestra.

Lt. Flang slays me!

 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 04:10 AM

This is no surprise to me. I have a teenaged son and when he comes out of his room to hang out with us in the living room (which is not often) he tends to take the spot on the sofa that is my big lab's spot, prompting much sad eyed beseeching on the lab's part. I usually tell the boy he has to move because the dog outranks him :)

Meg
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 04:52 AM

Um ... Doesn't this fall into the categories of cute & mildly disturbing ... Or Perhaps cute & creepy??

In Awwwe
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 05:12 AM

Meg. I for one, will support anything you're behind.
You've satisfied my warm-fuzzy-fix for years now. You've united kindred spirits. Given us a safe place to snorgle together.
I wish you the best and lots of it!

Funny, the wheaten looks right at home in his outfit! hahahaha.

Tres weird.

The kitty ones are cracking me up, especially Lt. Marguerite Flang there.

 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 05:59 AM

Okay, the dogs are kinda cute, but the two kitties are just REALLY creeping me out!!!

Kari
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 06:20 AM

@ fritzlesnick:

Chief PETty officers? Get it? Pet?

Ahahaha...I crack myself up sometimes.

"How Do I Get Out Of This Chicken Outfit?" asked the fast food company mascot at the end of a long hot day.

KB in To
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 06:49 AM

Yeah, I think I get why the cats are a bit creepier. With the dogs, you just think, "Well, that's silly." With the cats you think, "You know, it COULD happen."

Juno
 |  Jan 21, 2009 at 06:54 AM

am i the only one more taken aback by the fact that people are paying upwards of $20 for this???? pleeeeeease everyone, i know YOU know someone with basic photoshop skills who would do this for you for free!! ...or for a cookie or something.
