This is meant to be a *fun* thread.

Okay, so, I'm always seeing people post about how their babies don't like being dressed in clothes and are asking how to get them to like it. I know my two hate it. Chip runs and hides if he sees me with a shirt in my hand and Smokey will run all over the house rubbing up against everything... so my question is, why do we do it when we know they don't like it?

Personally, I don't dress them that often. I will put sweaters/coats on them when we go outside in the cold because it keeps them warm. When I do put shirts on them it's usually to celebrate a holiday or just because the whim hits me.

People ask me all the time what the purpose is. I tell them that I put sweaters on them because they have hair like humans, not fur, then I proceed to ask them if their head gets cold when they are outside without a hat or hood. When they say yes, that is when I tell them that yorkies and other similar dogs get cold just like we do.
