A local couple is under fire today after posting an Instagram photo of their infant son, Blake, wearing a novelty “Mama’s Lil Furbaby” sweater that clearly used to belong to the family’s GoldenDoodle, Scout.
“You people are being ridiculous,” said Bethany Collins, proud Dog Mom to Scout, and Human Mom to Blake. “For all you judgmental moms out there, might I remind all of you that Heather puts her little boy Parker on a child leash, which I would never do. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to put Blake’s breakfast Cheerios in his maze bowl or he eats too fast.”
While Bethany vehemently denied the allegations in a furious Instagram rant, Blake’s father, Martin, privately asked for the public’s understanding of their unorthodox fashion choices.
“Do you have any idea how expensive kids clothes are?” said Martin Collins, changing Blake into a “Bone to Be Wild” onesie. “Everyone else here pays $50 a pop for some cute overalls the kid is going to grow out of in 14 hours, and we’re the crazy ones? So what if his sweater velcros on and kind of just drapes over his back like a cape? Easier to change his diapers. Scout is at least 40 pounds, so I’m hoping we can keep using hand-me-downs for at least a couple more years. We got “Dr. Pupter,” “Don’t Stop Retrievin,” even “Merry Puggin’ Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal” for the holidays. His “May the Fourth Be Shih Tzu” sweater was a huge hit on Star Wars Day!”
Meanwhile, the Collins report little Blake has recently taken his first steps, shakes, and hind leg scratches.
