I will show you a picture of Kali in her wintercoat - when it rains and snows in winter I dress her in this - and she hates it!

I tried buying some boots but they fell off the instant I put them on her - even with velcro.

We decided sometime during winter to try and walk her without the coat and she never was cold at all - she is after all a dog and build "to last". I still think a raincoat is a good thing and will buy one for no. 2 - but that's also convinient for me, since I won't have to spend forever drying them when they have been out in the rain....

Here we are in our thermosuits - "mother and daughter"

Wearing that outfit really made my friends laugh but it is the only right thing when living here where it gets really cold in winter!

AHA !!! BUSTED lol....CUTE pictures - does it get THAT cold there ? How long do your winters last ? Was it as sub-zero as it looked ? lol...LOVE the matching outfits - that's soooo cute - I want a snowsuit !

I just read through this entire thread, I guess I missed it before!

I think the key for me came when Kewtee said that her English was a bit rusty. When you say that something "looks funny" people automatically construe that as being that it "looks strange". But I think what she meant, gathering from the content of her posts, was that it "looks cute" or "looks amusing", as in it puts a smile on her face. Reading further down, I see that Kewtee is a doggie dresser too!

I decorate everything I love that will allow me to decorate it. I paint the walls in my craft room, I glue rhinestones onto my cell phone, and I dress up my dogs. I think it would be strange if I DIDN'T dress them, LOL! For all the joy and happiness my dogs bring to me, what I do for them is just a drop in the bucket of repayment.

Some clothes are a necessity, like coats and sweaters in the winter. I figure hey, why be plain, let's get CUTE coats and sweaters! And I don't like wearing the same old thing every day, why should they?

I paint their toenails pink, because pink is my favorite color, and it's fun to see them painted. They have cute little sterling silver necklaces, because they're just pretty, and I like pretty things.

I don't have human children. These dogs are my kids, and I can guarantee you that if I had human children, I'd dress them in the cutest clothes, and do their nails, and buy them jewelry too!

It is very rare to get as cold as you see in the picture - normally in Denmark it just rains and rains and rains and rains in winter. Sometimes we are lucky to get snow that melts after a day or 2 and once in a couple of years we get a real....blizzard might be too strong a word...but we are advised to stay indoors and schools are cancelled.
Once in a decade we get huge amounts of snow and everything stops - shops, schools, factories, trains etc. It is always a chaos and if you're not going anywhere it is really cosy and fun!
I remember one winter when I was child where we saw army tanks driving across the ice to a small island with food. And a winter in the nineties we had so much snow at the same time that all cars were gone and people were skiing to get around.
Last winter we had a week in Skagen where the snow stopped whatever little traffic was on the roads (Skagen is a huge tourist attraction in summer, almost dead in winter - 12.000 inhabitants) and the heat went out - thank god for burning stoves

My very good friend in Texas calls me when it snows there - it is quite funny - getting a few flakes is a sensation for him: "Mette, Mette, it's SNOWING - WOOOHOOO!"
I think the Boston area resembles Denmark some regarding the weather, but really I know so little about the weather in the states.
I visited my friend when there was a huge flood - was it in 2001 (?) - and that was amazing to be part of

His wife and me were at a danceplace in Houston and we had to sleep in the car since the water was so high we couldn't drive the car home...

Sorry the topic is off and I am rambling!

Yeah, I do the same thing when I see snow here in Texas. It's amazing, we hardly see it here. Winter 2004, I believe I saw one day of sleet and that was all!

Oh...very cute...I've never bumped into the site before!

Has anybody on here ever ordered from www.chiwawagaga.com? I saw some cute cable knit sweaters on there in plain colors...but they didn't have many color options. I sent a email question about the colors...but the person who wrote back didn't seem really all that excited to help me. Does anybody know if their stuff is good quality or not?

It snowed Christmas Eve Day and the girls and I were in the backyard trying to make Houston Snowballs - they were the size of a shrunken golf balls....but after years of no snow - it was sooo cool

i wanted to say this as someone who loves her little boy to death - i could not imagine going all out and putting him in jeans and shoes as i have seen on some sites! you can't begin to make me think a dog really needs all that. a tshirt i can understand. i see the little girls in easter dresses and i think that is cute if done for special events but people with closets full of clothes that think the dog can not leave the house without an outfit on is just hard for me to believe. but it is not for me to decide and if it makes the parent's happy - which of course is why it is done - then far be it from me to complain. we all do what we think is best for our dogs.

sshaw · 04-05-2007, 04:11 AM

I know there was a time I thought it was funny to dress dogs though it must be years and years ago, and probably in my child hood. However, these little yorkies are just the cutest in their little shirts and dresses that it is hard to resist not dressing them. They also seem to like it, my Dennis sees a shirt and he goes nuts till you put it on. My little Sahara looks so adorable in her red and white checked shirt and denim pants with suspenders that it never fails to keep a smile on my face as she romps around the house. It is just too cute!

So I think they look adorable, and these little one's like and perhaps need a little extra warmth as well; and because I can and I love doing it! I don't particularly care what other people think, never did, as life is best lived pleasing one's self in areas such as these.

Hope this helps!

jacky · 04-05-2007, 05:52 AM
