How often do you put clothes on your furbabies? My lil' girl Sweet Pea is such a tomboy she hates clothes.

. Sebastian runs and hides so i won't put his pj's on. LOL I actually use his pj's to make him go to sleep. I tell him you lay down and go to sleep or get your pj's on and he runs under the covers to hide and its lights out...

.LOL don't you just love Yorkies

That is so cute!!!!! The only peice of clothing that Hobbs wears is his Auburn T-shirt...it says "I Eat Elephants," which is supposed to be really funny considering Hobbs doesn't even weigh 3 lbs. But my husband and I made an agreement before we got a yorkie. My husband is a "big dog" person, so I had to agree that if he got me a yorkie, that I couldn't dress it up in frilly clothes or put bows in its hair! Oh Well! I consider it a small price to pay to have a yorkie!!!!!!

Although, when we get our little girl in July, my husband agreed to let me put a clip in her hair...but no bow!

I love the "I Eat Elephants!" My husband would like our dogs to have that on when the Razorbacks play Alabama (although I guess it couldn't be an Auburn t-shirt LOL). He's funny about the clothes thing unless it has Razorbacks on it. Another member here made Scout the cutest custom Arkansas Razorback harness vest that he wears all the time and get's lots of compliments on. I am making Pippa a dress to wear Football season with hogs on it. Maybe your husband would let your little girl wear an Auburn Tigers dress!! If you can find the fabric, I will make your dress! I'm becoming quite the dog seamstress...

Kloey don't really like to wear clothes, I do put them on her in the winter time, or when we take a walk and it's chilly, but when we get home I take them off and she just goes crazy happy to have them off. Same with the bow, she really does not like to wear it, but hey! it hurts to be beautiful! lol

Oh my gosh! What a GREAT idea! My hubby sounds like yours....no clothes unless it is AUBURN!! I bet you could find a Razorbacks t-shirt like the Auburn one! If you are a seamstress, you could make one if you can't find one!! Mine is just orange with blue trim around the neck & sleeves. Then in blue on the back, it says "I Eat Elephants." Hobbs also has an Auburn bandana that he is "allowed" to wear! hehehe I am glad I am not the only one with a SEC fanatic husband! When we get our little girl, and if I can find some fabric, I will PM you about making her a little dress for FOOTBALL SEASON! Thanks SO much for offering!

Here is a pic of Hobbs in his bandana!

chachi · 05-08-2006, 05:59 PM

I dress Chachi and Jewels about once a week. I only have a couple of things for Chachi but i am going to order more. I have alot of dresses and cute shirts for Jewels. Oh and I am lucky because My Husband thinks they are cute dressed and doesnt mind me dressing them or putting bows in their hair.

It's a serious offer! Don't hesitate to contact me. We SEC fans have to stick together!

My dogs (not all Yorkies) don't really mind wearing clothes at all. I think they "could care less." But - I dont' have my dogs wearing clothes a lot. They have some clothes --- especially jackets for the cold winters here and a couple other things....which we put on "just for fun."

I know a lot of you are really into Yorkie clothes -- fun fun!!! -- But I really don't get into it that much....

Gus wears clothes almost every day. With all the clothes I have gotten him, my husband would not be happy if I didn't dress him after all the money I've spent. I have him looking very boyish so no bows. Although I have put them on Gus in the past. Tim just takes them off when he gets home and tells him, "how can your mom put your Dallas jersey on and a silly stupid bow on your head?" He really does! LOL and Gus is just tilting his head back and forth listening to him.

Dougal&Little · 05-09-2006, 12:04 AM

I like to dress my pretty dixie girl up and she usually has something on every weekend - or if it's cold. I'm just waiting for my next package to come from lovelonglong.com! Hooooray! She's gonna look DA BOMB!

At the moment evil wee (dixie) is wearing her happy bunny tee-shirt - it says "cute but kind of evil".

I don't dress my dougal dog often he's not very keen on it. He does like his manly swandri bush shirt when it's wet and cold. When he was all hairy we would put his little jogger suit on and he'd be all skinny except for his fuzzy wuzzy feet and ginormous head of hair and We'd all laugh at him and now whenever it comes out he runs away. lol.

I taught myself to knit so I could knit my dougal baby snuggly jerseys.

Mitzis Mom · 05-09-2006, 10:07 AM

Mitzi wears her t-shirts almost all the time. The reason is that she itches a lot and had a bad infection under her arms. The shirt seams to help against the itching. She doesn't mind at all and is very patient when she gets dressed. She also has little shoes for her very tender paws and a visor when she sits in her baby papoose while we are on a bike ride.

txshopper73 · 05-09-2006, 10:11 AM

Not very often. It gets so hot here in South Texas that I generally keep them off but during the winter, they get to wear shirts and stuff.

StewiesMom · 05-09-2006, 10:14 AM

Stewie has more clothes than I do, but he doesn't dress up everyday. He likes it, though.

Oh Oh Oh....I HAVE to have that shirt!! Where did you get it? Bonnie has an Auburn jersey, but hubby and middle son are Bama fans (no accounting for taste) so she really needs that one too!

Jaxon's mom · 05-09-2006, 11:28 AM

Jaxon has an assortment of clothes - Patriots T-shirt, 'bad to the bone' t-shirt, preppy plaid shirt, rain coat, sweaters, etc. He likes most of them and usually knows it means he's going out. There is one sweater he wore through the winter for walks - now when he sees it, he thinks it's walk time.

My hubbie actually kind of likes the shirts - as long as they aren't too feminine! He won't let me put bows or clips in Jaxon's hair. We live in a new area with lots of ticks and I sometimes wonder if putting a shirt on him for walks helps keep the ticks off???
