Maybe I'm a little on the fun side, but I actually make clothes for my little one! Even a leather jacket! He's gotta be cool, you know! LOL

I have a little girl yorkie, Dixie, who is going to be one year old April 12. My twin daughters each have a male yorkie. Teddy will be one year old April 25th and Maxie will be two years old in October. We have had them since they were tiny and have always put clothes on them. Besides the fact that they just look adorable in clothes, it is also so much fun to buy them all matching things. They have so many clothes. They have special things for each holiday also. Because they are all three so close in age and size, sometimes it is difficult to tell them apart when they do not have clothes on. When all three are running thru the room or the backyard about about 75 miles per hour it is much easier to catch them when you can grab them by their clothes also. Also the clothes help to keep them warm especially this past winter they have just had sweaters and sometimes jackets on daily. Every time I wash the laundry I have a pile of clean clothes, folded for every member of my family and three piles also for Dixie, Teddy and Maxie! Love them so much! It is like have babies again and dressing them is fun and I really think they know that they just look so great!!

Finnigan is dressed all day from October to March I'd say... any day below 60 Especially when going outside. During the summer I try and forget he has clothes because I've really started having an obsession with buying him clothes!! He always dresses for special occasions and of course the required holiday photo shoots!

sooo... paris started out just wearing coats outside to keep her warm... then she got a really bad haircut and she insisted on wearing a sweatshirt during the day and jammies at night, then she had to wear a sweatshirt and coat to stay warm at soccer games, then she discovered dresses on holidays and everyone made such a fuss over her...she now insists on being dressed 24/7. and yes ... my whole family thinks i am nuts... but my husband is happy he doesnt have to have another skinbaby!lol

Mia is dressed 24/7. We have chilly nights so she always has jammies on. I bought one dress, and harness for her, I used them as a pattern and I have sewn many items for her.
We went out to dinner last Friday night and she came with us in her new Fiesta Dress. I end up making clothes for my friends dogs! It is a fun hobby.

I dress my babies just about every day. I put their clothes on before I leave for work in the morning. I remove their clothes in the evening and they get a few hours to run around nekkid.

They have nighties and PJs to wear to sleep.

AbbysMom08 · 03-21-2009, 09:34 PM

Abby wears a sweater or coat outside.
Don't have any dress or shirts................yet.
I am looking for a nice little rain coat. Can't seem to find one.

emilyann · 03-21-2009, 10:22 PM

Hm... Lilly wears clothes all the time. Tee in the day and pajamas every night and always a bow or band in her hair.

newproudmom · 03-21-2009, 11:46 PM

charlie hates to wear clothes. I try to put clothes oon him he will chew it up. He chewed up one shirt pretty badly. So no clothes for him inside the house..when we go out, I will put a sweater on him. He is pretty good with clothes when we go out b/c then he is too busy with other things and not on his sweater. He has only one sweater, a coat that is way too big for him, a chewed up tee shirt, and his jogging outfit which is too small now. these were all gifts from his auntie. We are now working on him and the puppia harness. I tried to have him wear that all day. He is a chewer so have to be supervised when wearing clothes.

Precious wears a hoodie every day from fall to spring(NJ). She wears jammies at night! Went we go out she gets "dressed up". In the summer she is mostly naked except if we go to a picnic or something like that then she wears a little sundress! She has a winter coat & boots ( she hates the boots), a rain coat & pretty dress up sweaters. Oh & she ALWAYS gets dressed up for holidays....ALL OF THEM ! LOL

MOMMY TO PRECIOUS

Sweetlips6 · 03-22-2009, 05:00 AM

I ordered a pair of the cutiest jammies from Gina here on YT. I put them on Bonnie and she acted scared to death. She was shaking.
Then she got a really short hair cut and the groomer sent her home in a little pink t-shirt, which she wears at night after she gets brushed.
I tried the jammies on again after she had been wearing the t-shirt for a while, but she just stood there looking like she was being punished and scared to move (but soooo cute)LOL

nanahas3 · 03-22-2009, 04:27 PM

Laddy doesnt have many yet couple of coats he wears when its cold and pj's he wears most nights. We did get him some more but they are still to big. Finally put a sweater on him last night and tucked the buttom in to take his picture hehe

ChantalB · 03-22-2009, 04:37 PM

My males wears there sweaters half the time. They both have short hair cut so no tangles!

But for my 3 females, I dress them for walk time and on special occasion. They get so tangles if they keep the clothe on for to long...

I love to dress them! They look so cute.

When the weather turns cooler here and in the winter I dress Fancy everyday. She has sweaters, coats, and jogging suits to help keep her warm. At night she wears pajamas too! It gets HOT here in the summer though so I don't dress her at all.
