I know she enjoys this because I do not have to force anything. She knows when she sees the brush in my hand what it means. She runs to our spot on the couch and hops up waiting for me. Then as I groom she licks my hands, it's like she is saying thank you. Then she will sit up an sort of stick her neck out awaiting clothing. Then she will lift any leg if need be depending on what were wearing. When she is finished, I always tell her good girl and how pretty she looks and she gets down and prisses off to her spot...which is the window sill. I honestly believe she enjoys clothing. But if ever for a minute if I thought she didn't, I wouldn't dress her. I have never gotten any rude comments. Everyone always smiles or says how cute she is. But I am prepared to defend myself if someone is rude. I will politely say that the last time I checked I didn't need or ask for their opinion. Lol. I know my dog and I wouldn't do anything to harm her or make her uncomfortable. I do realize she is a dog, but I have been known to call her my child as well. I have no skin kids and I love her like she was my own flesh and blood. Yes, I am that crazy dog lady...and I love it!  |
You give very good reasons
KS always looks beautiful..
I don't dress mine as much as some except for jackets when going outside
and to long hair gets matted very easily, but i see nothing wrong with them wearing clothes as long as they are ok with it
