A vet has dressed up as a giant mouse in order to examine a nervous rescue dog.
Rupert the Dalmatian needed specialist orthopaedic surgery at Davies Veterinary Specialists in Hitchin but growled when vets tried to touch him.
To calm his nerves, vet Mike Farrell donned a mouse onesie sent by his owner to comfort him which allowed Rupert to be "examined safely".
Rupert is now recovering from surgery to treat a cruciate ligament rupture.
Sonya Schiff from London said she adopted him from The Dogs Trust a couple of years ago and it took a year for him to bond with her due to some "serious guarding issues and aggression".

Onesie (jumpsuit)

A modern adult size onesie.
Since the 2000s, onesie /ˈwʌnzi/ has become a commonly used word for a particular style of loose-fitting casual jumpsuits for adults made of knit cotton (as used in sweatshirts), fleece, or chenille.[1] They are mostly intended as loungewear or sleepwear, but have gained significant popularity as stylish streetwear, especially in the UK and Australia; the onesie became very popular during the late 2000s and early 2010s as a street fashion.
Onesie was originally a term for an infant bodysuit,[1] probably derived from Onesies®, which is a registered trademark for a certain range of infants' clothes.

Etymology[edit]

The term "onesies" (with an s at the end) is a brand name for infant bodysuits that is owned by the Gerber corporation, and the term is used generically for infant bodysuits in the US. There is little in common between the infant onesies and an adult onesie: the former is usually sleeveless and legless and snaps or buttons at the crotch. In 2008, when casual jumpsuits became increasingly popular, the press started discrediting them as "adult onesies,"[2] [3]and the name seems to have eroded to a generic word, dropping the final s in the process.
