    Howdy! Today is the birthday of iconic singer and animal activist Willie Nelson. As our gift to the country legend, we decided to skip the serenade and go straight to our old standby: animals in clothing. Check out these critters wearing bandanas, braids and cowboy hats to honor Willie's 79th birthday celebration.

    DEVOUT DOG

    For Nelson, dressing like Willie isn't a hobby; it's a lifestyle.

    GRUMPY PUSS

    Ronald would rather eat an early bird than be one, but the life of a cowboy calls for some tough hours.

    PUPPY TRAINING

    Abby was happy her owners turned her on to Willie Nelson at an early age, but sometimes they pushed it a little too far.

    RIDE 'EM COWMONKEY

    Like Willie, Todd had a love for horses. Unlike Willie, Todd was only about a foot tall.

    FURRY FAN 

    After watching Willie keep his long hair over the years, Rodney decided that he would keep a shaggy coat and low-key swagger as well.

    PIN THE BANDANA

    None of the horses at the Willie Nelson Appreciation Barn Dance had the heart to tell super fan Shirley that she put her bandana in the wrong spot.

    NO LAUGHING MATTER

    Some chuckled at Cory's insistence that he wear his cowboy hat every day. Meanwhile, he guffawed at their lack of fashion sense.

    HIPSTER LISTENER

    Lola decided to alter Willie's classic look by cocking her cowboy hat to one side. Not only is it a chic look, but she can hear his concerts better now.

    BEFORE IT WAS COOL

    George didn't know why people always commented on his Willie-Nelson-esque attire; the pooch was way older then the singing legend. In dog years at least.

    DYE DILEMMA

    Mallory clearly remembers asking for the dignified Willie Nelson dye job, but the colorist insisted that she requested Annie Oakley orange. Not pleased.

    GLADY GOING GRAY

    When his friends teased him about his long, gray dreads, Carl always pointed out Willie's locks. He considered himself a member of an exclusive and proud brotherhood.

    After finally meeting Willie at a local barn raising, Clyde was estactic to find another individual bold enough to embrace the braid.
