Pet owners love to dress up their furry friends in winter for two reasons.
One, obviously, to keep them warm. And two, because they look so darn cute.
ALDI has come out with the perfect product that's just as ridiculous looking as it is practical - and we're already obsessed.

'I really outdid myself with this one!'
Aussie TikTok creator @dedikatedlifestyle has taken to the app this week to share her latest purchase at ALDI - the new Dog Pom Pom Beanie.
'Me the moment ALDI releases dog beanies,' her video says, showing her two dachshunds wearing the pieces.
ALDI's Dog Pom Pom beanies come in pink, blue and green, and are currently being sold in two flexible sizes - small and medium.
'I fear I really outdid myself with this one!' she captioned the video.
'Going to ALDI IMMEDIATELY after work'
Pet owners in the comments were obsessed with the item, labelling it a must-have for the chilly season.
'Omg… even just for the photos!!' said one person.
'I'm going right now!!' another agreed.
'STOP!!! I need these,' said another.
'Going to ALDI IMMEDIATELY after work,' another person said.
'The cutest thing ever!!!' a fifth added.
'My Frenchie would simply destroy this'
But, a reminder, it's not necessarily going to work for everyone - unless you want an angry puppy, and fluff all over the house.
'My greyhound is going to hate me for wanting to buy this,' said one commenter.
'My dog absolutely LOATHED ME after putting this one,' another said from experience.
'My dachshund would never wear it, he'd probably like to chew it though,' a third agreed.
'My Frenchie would simply destroy this,' said another person.

Aussie bloke baffled over barista's ‘creepy' coffee act to girlfriend
A Sydney man's dilemma over his girlfriend's special treatment at their local coffee shop has gone viral, prompting a flood of advice from thousands of viewers. Jake Craig explained in a TikTok that he moved in with his girlfriend, Beth, to a suburb that's new to him but not to her. Mr Craig, keen to establish a nice morning routine with his girlfriend, always offers to make her a coffee at home each day using a French press. But Beth, a self-confessed coffee enthusiast, prefers to get her caffeine fix from their local cafe, which she's been visiting for about three years. 'They know her, they know her order, the main guy knows her name, and everyone knows each other,' he explained. Most of the cafe staff have even begun to recognise Mr Craig and are 'friendly enough,' he says. However, things took a turn when Beth took a week-long break from her local haunt, and upon her return, was greeted with an extremely warm welcome. 'The main guy said, 'Oh Beth, it's been so long, we missed you.' He looked over his shoulder at one of the staff and said, 'Oh, he really missed you.'' Things heated up when her coffee cup that day arrived with love hearts drawn on it and the words, 'my love' – from the man who supposedly missed her. The next time she visited, her cup read 'my secret' and then the third, 'My secret love'. Each time, Beth returned home giggling about the situation, seemingly amused by the attention. Mr Craig, for his part, insists he isn't 'threatened' – but described the whole situation as 'crazy' and 'odd', before turning to the comments for advice. Many suggested practical solutions – like getting an espresso machine at home, or buying Beth a reusable coffee cup that can't be written on. Others simply praised the couple for being able to laugh about the situation. 'Can we just appreciate the healthy relationship, though? The fact you can all just laugh about it,' pointed out one. However, not everyone was laughing. Some thought the responsibility was on Beth to put an end to the barista's behaviour. 'Kinda curious why Beth isn't setting the record straight?' asked one person. Another said Beth needed to 'put in the boundaries'. Others called out the barista's behaviour. 'If someone flirts with me and knows I have a partner, I get very upset that they're so happy to blatantly disrespect my partner to my face,' one user said. However, one fellow barista argued that cafe staff often joke around with regulars like this and don't mean any harm by it.

These cheerleaders secured a 400% pay rise. But it's still not enough
So the fact that salary negotiations were a major plot line throughout season two was something that I very much welcomed. The veteran team members in particular were ready to rally and fight for not only what they deserved, but the future they wanted for the next generation of cheerleaders long after they were gone. Loading Now, apologies for the spoilers (though I find it impossible to believe that anyone watching the show didn't binge it over a couple of marathon sittings), the good news is that by the end of the season and following some pretty rough negotiations, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders secured a 400 per cent pay rise for the next season and beyond. But before you get too excited and think, 'How great! That's a salary of more than $230,000 for a part-time job, what an iconic slay for the girls!' Sadly, that's not quite the case. While the pay increase means that a cheerleader's base salary for game days alone will now be around $77,000, everything else is still up for grabs. Last week, Megan McElaney, who is a fourth-year veteran and was crucial to the salary increase negotiations, talked about her pay bump on TikTok, saying that despite the improvement, she's still earning much less than you'd think. 'Many of the opportunities we get are optional and based on your schedule, so it depends on the girl,' McElaney said, before adding that despite four years of service to the team, her position as a senior dancer and mentor to first-year rookies, she is still 'hoping for one day to make 75K ($AU$114,000)!' Don't get me wrong, a salary of $77,000 for a part-time job is something many of us would dream of. But when you consider how physically demanding the job is, the number of dancers who require corrective surgeries almost as soon as they hang up their short shorts, the lack of health insurance coverage, and the fact that the company they work for is worth $15 billion, $77,000 feels like the absolute bare minimum. But more than that, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders highlights a much more serious and darker reality of why financial independence is so important for women. In season one, dancer Kelcey Wetterberg talks about being stalked by a fan and having a tracking device placed on her car. Team management also tell viewers why they carry a football during photo ops with fans and cheerleaders (so that male fans have something to hold on to and don't inappropriately touch the dancers). In season two, Chandi Dayle opens up about being in an abusive relationship, and experiencing harassment and stalking after she left. While the Dallas Cowboys are in no way responsible for these events, if they are truly committed to keeping women safe, decades of research, reporting, statistics and data tell us that one of the best ways to do that is through financial freedom. That could be paying them enough so that they have the savings and necessary means to leave an unsafe environment. It could be having the money to hire a lawyer and ensure you receive the representation you deserve in matters pertaining to your safety. It could be earning enough that you can afford psychological support and care to process your experiences. Too often when we discuss salaries, requests for pay rises are seen as someone simply wanting to get ahead and make it to what they feel like is the next level. But the reality is that, aside from women deserving to be adequately remunerated for their expertise and value to a company, money is also a tool to keep women safe. If the Cowboys truly care about that, it's something Jerry and Charlotte Jones would do well to remember that next time negotiations come around.
