I would say 95% of the comments are positive. I think people making rude comments are just rude no matter what situation they are in.
Right now I'm not dressing up Cookie or Angel that much because we've been having 95-100 degree weather.I do put a dress on my Maltese because her body is shaved down almost to the skin and her face hair and tail have long hair

I put tank shirts on my boys sometimes now but always indoors because of the heat,but I have tons of outfits for them! I really don't care if people say " Why are you dressing a dog?! Honestly my answer now is " Why not ?" ," I love how they look and Cookie goes nuts jumping in circles when he sees me taking out a shirt/outfit! lol He tries to put his head right in before I can open the shirt lol.
In the beginning it really bothered me but after dressing Cookie up for the past 3 yrs people mostly always say "OMG how cute is that! "
