 Clothing is Mandatory in my House
All 3 of my Yorkies Love wearing Clothes, all 3 of them have long hair and wearing Clothes keeps them cleaner for a longer amount of time between Baths. When they were Puppies I started dressing them at an early age so they would get used to it, it's just like Grooming and wearing a Topknot, you have to "Train" them to accept it. Putting Clothes on them signify's to them that we are going "Bye Bye". I dress them after I have cleaned them in the morning so it is an everyday routine, they associate it as a good thing.
Besides as cold as it is outside, I would never let them go out w/o a sweater and/or jacket/coat. Abigayle & Pom Pom always wear a dress or pajama's inside b/c they tend to get cold and are always cuddled together in a blanket.
Artie runs around "Au Naturale" while he's @ Home. They tend to parade and prance around when they are Dressed, especially if other People give them compliments.
