She apparently doesn't shut down like Tibbe does when I put clothes on him, stabbing me with stinkeye when I dress him, even when it was below 10 degrees here one year & I was cold in the house near doors and windows. I thought he could use a sweater and he let me put it on him but the scratching, the glaring at me and the hate-looks finally got to me and I told him "Enough" - to let him know the subject was closed.
He turned and walked out of the room and stayed in the bedroom with his back to the door. When I checked on him later, he looked at me over his shoulder so pitifully I took the sweater off. And it only had half arms and only covered his upper back shoulder, chest and neck. I put it back on him when he went to potty but took it right off again as he went around in fast circles until I did - fast circles means he wants something like right now. It's a good thing Tibbe is a boy dog and doesn't belong to someone who wants to dress him up fancy - he'd drive them crazy with his nudist preferences!
