My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Questions on wearing clothes I have a couple questions: 1) is it safe to let your baby sleep in clothes? (t shirts/ jammies) 2) does your baby wear clothes all day, even when he's not in your sight? I guess my concerns are their arms getting stuck and what not. I'd like to keep mine dressed for the winter months and up till now I haven't dressed them. (I'm having a super time shopping too!) Thanks for any pointers you can give in advance |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Well, Stedman wears clothes 99% of the time. I prefer them, and believe it or not, so does he! lol He gets mad and barks if he doesn't have clothes on He will actually go to the little cubby that I keep his clothes in and just stand there and bark until I put a shirt on him I used to let him sleep in clothes, and still do, SOMETIMES... however, my hubby doesn't like me to let him wear clothes to bed because one night when he jumped off the bed in the middle of the night (which is totally normal for Stedman lol), I guess hubby and I were SOUND asleep and didn't hear him barking to get back up (we usually ALWAYS hear him) and so all night long he was stuck down laying by the side of the bed, and his poor little arm was stuck inside his t-shirt and we did not know it!!!! Hubby found him in the morning and I got an @$$ chewing for it, LOL So anyway, every once in a while he will wear them to bed, if I just totally forget to take the clothes off him, but usually, no...we don't let him anymore.

| I don't keep them on my girls much. They do get their arms stuck alot. Usually I put them on when we go outside (when it's cold) or when we go out to Petsmart, etc. They don't mind them at all. I try not to put them on Dixie as much because she's growing her show coat, and her breeder told me it breaks the hairs.

| I only put clothes on Gage when it's cold (due to his not growing an undercoat) - and then only at night or when he goes outside. In the summer, I put a t-shirt on him when he goes out to keep him from getting sunburned (it's either that or greasy sunscreen!). Gabby, on the other hand, prefers the "natural" look

| My furkids do not like wearing clothes of any kind so I only dress my kids up for extra special occasions. They feel so strongly about NOT wearing clothes that they get all pouty faced when I try to use them as models for the items I make. |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Last fall/winter/early spring, our Magic had a harness or baby shirt on all the time - even at night - as she stays cold. Right now with it still warm they only dress up to go out or for something special. Sailor prefers to be "natural" but Magic does not mind and knows if she is dressed she gets to go with us in the car!

I don't understand about Gage not having an undercoat. Yorkies don't have an undercoat. | |

| I dress Ginger every day for work to keep her coat clean ‘til Friday's bath. I’d rather not though, ‘cause if the clothes are too tight her hair can mat underneath…plus I think she looks pretty cute in her birthday suit. But as far as her getting her arms stuck…that’s never been an issue.

| both mine prefer to be "naked" so the only time they wear a harness is if they are going for a walk, which is a daily routine for both. I don't know if you can call belly bands clothing, but Tiger does in the evenings and this is because it is MY choice to do so, not him |

| I dont dress Louie and Bella every day, but almost! But I do take their cloths off of them when I have to leave the house and they are alone in their cages, because I am just too afraid that they might get caught up someohow and strangle themselves or something. Or if their little paw got stuck in the arm hole and they choked themselves trying to get free. They have worn their cloths to bed but not much because I am afraid of the little paws getting stuck.So basically they just wear themwhen they are with me and I can watch them.

| Roxy wears clothes half the time and if it's cold, she has a pair of pink insulated underwear pj's with a drop seat that are adorable that she sleeps in. She can get out of them if she wants to, but if it's cold, she keeps them on. I think her preference is to always be nakkie. But us grown-ups like to dress her up.
