My girls LOVE LOVE LOVE wearing clothes....They dance and strut around like they're saying....."AREN'T WE TOO FREAKIN CUTE"?

and my youngest Cheri gets chilled outside....The minute I put a sweater on her... she practically smothers me in kisses and ends up playing in the yard having a ball....no shivering...just playing.

So...in my house....Clothes serve 2 purposes. Cuteness and Warmth

I love dressing Jewels. I have all kinds of dresses and sweaters and bows to match. I just bought Chachi his first shirt and it looks cute on him and he loved wearing it so i am going to buy more.

Pita walks with her backend all sideways when i put a dress on her that touches her butt! She gets used to it after awhile tho. Your baby will adjust too.

I have a cute story about dog clothes:

My daughter recently rescued a dog, Ellie, from the pound, not a yorkie, but she's a medium sized (27 lb) dog.

Anyway one day we had just put a cute lil dress on Pita and Ellie snapped at her! We couldn't figure it out. The next day we bought a Ellie a pink bandana, she started prancin around like a show dog! It was so obvious she loved it!

So we bought her a pink coat at Petsmart and the minute we put it on her she perked right up! We tried to leave at one point when she didn't have it on and she went and got it!

She has not snapped at Pita again, we think she was jealous and wanted clothes of her own! This dog has plenty of fur and does not need clothes, she doesn't even look all that cute in them but she obviously LOVES to dress up! I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see the instant change in her attitude with a pink, it has to be pink, shirt or bandana on.

I guess I am alone here but my Nikko HATES clothes!! I only force him to wear clothes for warmth but it is a struggle to get them on. I have to bribe him with doggie bacon and he still squirms and growls. Once the coat or sweater is on, however, he is fine and they don't seem to bother him. I have two coats, one that is a ski jacket/vest with no sleeves and the other is a parka with sleeves and a hood. For some reason he despises the parka and the sleeves are a nightmare to get on him. I only do this in the winter to protect him from the cold and even though I think doggie polo shirts are adorable, I won't subject him to it when it gets warmer because I know he hates it so much.

Dennis just loves his shirts but hates his coats, I think because of the noise the Velcro makes and the fact they just don’t fit well. When I show him a new shirt he goes nuts wanting me to put it on. My friend has a Boston and he wears boots and hoodies and when he wants to go out will go get them. It is just to funny!

I really don't care for dresses on dogs. Sophies does wear coats and sweaters outdoors when the weather warrants it, and because I live in an old house that can get drafty in winter, she wears a tee-shirt around the house and PJs to bed when it's really cold outside. Otherwise, no dresses or cutsie outfits. Reminds me of circus dogs, IMHO.

Punkin loves her sweaters and her t-shirts. I think she loves the softness of them. She has one sweater that she loves the most and she helps us get it in her

She hates her rain coat- but to be fair it is a little big and sometimes she steps on the edges. I'm going to try and alter it.

Our vet said that she should definitly have a warm sweater on in -5 celius and below and at 0 it's a good idea.

My husband also objected to putting SugarDaddy in clothes, but he changed his tune when he saw how cold SugarDaddy got. He has a sweater, that is too big... he'd like it alot more if it fit right. He also has a fleece jacket thing. He loves that. It's so warm and he isn't shaking from the cold. Most often he falls asleep within 15 minutes of putting it on!!!

He's not fond of the diapers though!!! He HATES them!!!

Shanatink · 02-24-2006, 12:18 PM

My yorkie, chloe likes to wear clothes. My boxer doesnt even if its freezing outside. SO I never put anything other than collars or scarves on my boxer(she loves wearing these items) and I always dress up chloe. Tink is iffy on things. I usually only have her modeling clothes for pics or wearing them if its cold or she needs a harness, or special occasions. She always wears a necklace though.

Chloe knows she looks good in clothes. And tink and penny know they look good in neckwear and they all prance around happily when they get a new item. SO it just depends on your dog.

Miko loves to wear clothes...When he sees me take out his clothes, he comes up to me and sits patiently while I dress him. He gets so excited. He doesn't wear clothes everyday by any means, but he does when I want to keep him warm or if I want him to look stylish. LOL
