So we don't look completely ridiculous alone: Snuggie for Dogs

Remember the days when we were TRAPPED by blankets? When we had to make the agonizing choice between warmth and turning the page in our books? Those troubling days are gone, thanks to Snuggie — the blanket with sleeves!

If you don't already have a Snuggie of your own, you either ...
A. Desperately want one (it's on your Christmas list!)
B. Think they are stupid. Very stupid.

I own a Snuggie — a pink one — and simultaneously think it's stupid. I received it as a two-year wedding anniversary gift (traditional gift is cotton ... thanks, honey). And while there's no denying how silly humans look in a blanket with sleeves, I have to admit — that dumb Snuggie is pretty comfy and useful (much like Crocs, which are hideous but heaven on your feet). It really DOES facilitate reading while staying warm!

The Snuggie took America by storm this year. They were everywhere and on everyone. I bet Brad and Angelina and all their 42 kids curl up in Snuggies during bedtime stories. I bet President Obama has a Snuggie hidden somewhere in the Oval Office.

Now the Snuggie people are trying to squeeze every last drop of money from the Snuggie before we come to our senses. "Let's see. We duped PEOPLE into looking ridiculous in this thing. Maybe they'll want their dogs to look ridiculous, too!"

Ladies and gentleman, introducing the Snuggie for Dogs.

You have to check out the Web site for this thing: www.snuggiefordogs.com. The video is about as funny as the commercial for the original Snuggie. It makes a dog sweater look like a torture device. The Snuggie for Dogs, the pitch says, keeps dogs warm when it's cold outside, and comfortable inside. It's machine washable, comes in four sizes and is available in blue and pink. And $14.95 (plus shipping) will get you not one of these gems, but TWO! Plus you get two Recordable Dog Tags that look like they'd weigh down any dog under 40 pounds. What a deal!

What do you guys think — Snuggalicious or just plain SnUGLY? Will a Snuggie be in your pup's stocking this year?
