I have had a rude Petsmart employee make rude comments to me too. She has done it on several occasions. Once when I was buying sweaters for them she said "you aren't really going to put those on your dogs are you?" She made a similar comment to me when I bought them booties. She made me feel ridiculous. I felt like reporting her because why would a store that SELLS these items want an employee working for them that makes rude comments to you when you are buying their merchandise? I didn't want her to lose her job because she was stupid, but hey, I could have used a $25 gift cert.

As far as dressing your dog goes... a lady recently told me that her dog is one who likes to crawl in small spaces and snuggle up. She (the dog) loves having clothes on her because it gives her comfort and it makes her feel the same feeling that the small space gives her. It is a cuddling feeling all around her.

That is just like my Daisy. She loves to be in her crate and loves to be in small compact spaces. She will crawl into a paper bag or anything on the floor that surrounds her. She likes to feel surrounded on all sides by fabric or material of almost any kind. She loves to be in doggy purse/carriers. She feels safe and cuddly. She LOVES clothes on her. It seems to give her comfort and make her feel like she is being hugged and snuggled by the fabric. I know it probably sounds a little crazy but I can see a difference in her comfort level when she has clothes on. I'm sure some others have seen the same thing with their yorkies. I never really understood the explanation for this until this lady explained it to me. It makes sense to me now.
