I am Ok with Shirts, Sweaters,coats and bows. Yorkies definitely need it in cold weather. I am on the fence on Accessories like:
*Shoes (I am Ok with snow boots. I agree they protect against salt and cuts from ice)
*Sunglasses..although they are cute.
*Hats
*Clip on Earrings...Ouch poor babies.
*Coloring Dog's Coats

oh man I'm guilty too! LOL My dogs have a walk-in closet full of clothes! I think this is rediculous...surely it does mean only IF the clothes caused harm to the dog.

With all the homeless and abused animals out there, I think they should redirect their focus. SURE there are people that buy dogs as simply fashion accessories, and no that's not right, BUT to put everyone who dresses their dogs up into that category is just...ignorant.

Sooooooo true! Pampering a dog by dressing them up and coddling them is bad? How about those dogs that are neglected and mistreated.

Seriously you would think the RSPCA could find a better things to do with their time

That article is so stupid.... The first time they actually try and procecute a person for dressing A dog up is going to be a media circus. I highly doubt that it will ever happen.
I do not see the connection of dogs being dressed & neglet. That is a new one to me.

I am not sure if they actually MAKE then for the poor pups but I have seen many pics of small dogs with them on.

But I had to laugh because you said that Jaxon will help you and try to put his head through the shirt for you - Tatum does this EXACT same thing!! I swear to you, she LOVES her clothes. I will ask her, "Tator! You wanna get dressed!?" and she RUNS to the back room where I keep her wardrobe - YES I SAID WARDROBE lol. Then I'll get something out for her to wear and she will just stand there and look at me until I put it on her

She LOVES it! She is happy with clothes on - I don't care want any of these morons say

If she didn't like them, I WOULD NOT put them on her...but she does. Sorry but I know my little girl

And Stedman likes them too. So WHATEVER to them!!

Girl!!! You are killing me, now I found out you need wardrobe rehab too..LOL

I don't know what to do with you anymore..hehe..

Obviously they don't understand that clothing in some situations is necessary for small dogs.

I would never take Tucker outside in 0° weather without a sweater.

and dogs that live in certain places with a lot of snow NEED booties. Else their paws will get messed up.

I think it's cute. Yes, there are some who go WAY out of control. But I honestly don't see the harm in putting a dress on a girl or a little t-shirt on a boy.

There are WAY more serious problems in the animal world than this, that's all I'm saying.

Apparently the newsreporter has nothing better to report on, so they needed report on something so trivial. I'm guilty of dressing Cassi in clothes and she loves it.

<small voice> I'm thinking about dyeing pink Thor for Valentine's Day. I've heard groomers can do a harmless vegetable dye. Thor is very silver, so I think he'd show the color very well. Yes, it's silly, but if it doesn't bother him, what's the harm?

I believe in treating dogs like dogs, and I make sure Thor gets good food, time outside, exercise, baths, and mental stimulation. I don't think adornment should be an issue, as long as it does not hinder the dog.
