I wouldn't do something like that, it's not natural for a dog to be dressed other than for warmth in heavy snow or rain, but I don't think the dogs suffer at all from these kinds of things.
Maybe this is a way for grown up women to keep playing dress up with dolls in a legit way? I don't quite understand the motivation for dressing up a dog - so those of you who do that, please share your reasons and thoughts with me, so I might get wiser in the ways of yorkie dressers!  |
Hi Kewtee, welcome to YT. Schatzie has a wardrobe which will grow as she does. I have attempted to sew her own outfits but not sure if I can personally accept your nice compliment to being creative and crafty so I will leave that for the member's which have posted such adorable clothes that they have made.
Yes, I can see how people might compare me dressing up Schatzie as to those who dress up their dolls. My Schatzie is my doll baby but in life form so of course it's not all childs/adult play. Why do I do it? Because it makes me happy and Schatzie truly does seem to enjoy the one on one attention she receives. She often even jumps up on her pedestal for photo's after being dressed as she anxiously awaits for the opportunity for attention and praise.
You are correct in thinking that dogs wouldn't suffer by being dressed. However, being dressed in restrictive clothing/hair bows etc could be harmful so close supervision is given with Schatzie to insure comfort in what she wears.
"bonding time" is a phrase I would use to describe some of the ways i share my life with Schatzie regarding "dress up time".
