I think it's nice, for a change, to hear from the folks who DON'T like to dress their dogs. Like you say...different strokes for different folks.
I think it's ridiculous, myself, and yet....I already have a small pile of outifts started.

I'll be honest and admit...I'm looking forward to "playing" with this aspect of having a small dog, mostly because I'm a very girly-girl myself, and I never had a daughter to dress up and pink and bows.
I know I'll get no end of flack for it

, but I'll take it with good humor, because in my heart I'll know they're RIGHT--a dog is a DOG!!! But if she doesn't mind, and I hope she doesn't, I figure a little dress-up play really doesn't hurt anyone!

It's just for fun, and obviously on whatever level fills a need some of us have.
And those of you who don't find it "fun", or feel that need---I enjoy the pics of your little ones, au naturale, with their beautiful coats, JUST as much. And I also just love seeing these little guys rip around and get dirty and....ACT LIKE DOGS!!!
