I use to dress my dogs only in winter when it was cold to go outside. But then Destiny came along. She has baby fine silky hair so she gets cold very easily. She also gets sunburned easily so I wear light clothes on her when outside. So I started buying outfits for her, dresses, pj's, etc. Then I just started dressing the others and they were alright with it too. Destiny loves getting dressed. Anytime I get clothes out she runs up to have me put them on.
And the bows, well that is a yorkie thing to keep their hair out of their eyes, lol.
I recently bought her shoes. I'm not too big of a fan of shoes on dogs but I take Destiny everywhere with me. Unfortunately I can't carry her in my arms for too long without hurting, and we have came across a few situations where shoes would have made a huge difference so I gave in and bought her some.
So for me it all started it off for necessity reasons and just moved on to where I just love dressing them up, they are my babies after all. I wouldn't do it though if they didn't like it, so no harm is being done.
Fortunately I've never gotten any rude remarks before, they all just comment on how cute they look. |
