| New Puppy in town! Hello everyone, I am the new mommy to a cute 11 week old Yorkie named Mimi. She is a hyper little girl who loves to play. I have had her for about a week and I found YT the day after I got her. In a week this forum has been super helpful! I've been looking around YT and I notice that a lot of your fur babies where clothes but Mimi will not let me put anything on her. We live in Colorado and it is freezing right now and she goes crazy when I put a little jacket on her. How long does it take them to get used to wearing clothes. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to getting to know everyone! *Simone* |

| Welcome to YT!! Isn't YT wonderful!!?? Lots of yorkies don't like clothes - it's an aquired thing for most that even do. Mine will sometimes run to put them on & other times run the other way -- I think when they absolutely don't want them on, they must not need them. But you should see my Roxy sit to put on a pretty dress - It's like she knows how cue she will be & she will have loads of people fussing over her

I Love My Babies Donating Member | Welcome to YT. TJ was a little like that when he was a baby. I found that having a little tshirt that fit well, worked the best to start with. TJ was hyper and didn't want to sit still long enough to get one on. Also use a favorite treat as soon as you get it on her. Good Luck.

Are the clothes that you're trying on her a good fit? I think this is so important. If the clothes aren't bugging her then hopefully she will leave them on. I would suggest trying some of Des's Nighties at go.fetch™ They are easy to put on because of the snap buttons and they fit nice. I've never had a problem with dressing Missy. Maybe it's because I got her so early and she was so little that she had to wear sweaters that I cut out of a sock. She's been dressed since the day that I got her, so she loves wearing clothes now. If you think that she needs to wear clothes because it is cold out. I'd just be persistant but make sure that she's comfortable in what she's wearing. Good Luck!
