when ppl say that dogs are not meant to wear clothes then i say well humans werent supposed to either but we do anyway so why is it wrong for a dog to?

no strangers have yet said anything about princess (only friends) and they better hope they dont cuz i will get really defensive and will most likely say something extremely rude back about their appearance

I have NEVER had anyone say that they think it's weird...and have never had any strange looks either. Of course my mom and my sister will make comments saying that my babies are too spoiled (THEY ARE, so what?

) but it is just something they say and then giggle about - they actually think it's so cute though and love looking at all their cute new clothes when they come over. They just get the biggest kick out of it

It's so hard to not dress them up with all the cute outfits out there. My boyfriend told me he won't be caught dead with Zeus if he is wearing clothes. He quickly changed his mind when I told him that yorkies are chick magnets.

I usually get only positive feedback. On the rare occassion that it is negative it is always from some macho man type or an old biddy...I just tell them that Bruce has thin hair and no undercoat and is not used to being exposed to the elements.

I'm always shopping for and with Mr. Biggs. When I take him into dog stores people only look at me like I'm nuts if I'm spending ALOT of money on clothes for his at once. But If I'm buying him a few items, nobody ever comments.

As for taking him out dressed up, the only ones that have something to say about it or think I'm nuts, are my friends (that don't have dogs) or my parents. Other than that, people pretty much get a kick out outta seeing him all dressed up... the comments I usually get are "look at the puppy... isn't he cute", "look mommy, he has a shirt", "aww, isn't that cute"... it's mostly things of that nature.

BUT, if ever anyone does have something negative to say about dressing you dog, all you have to say is "At least he/she knows how to match, unlike some other people" ...but that's only if you don't feel like being nice. lol

LOL. My bf was the same way when I first got Mr. Biggs. But now, he's the one at night telling me to put on Mr. Biggs' PJ or tucking him in so that he won't get cold. He also pics him out clothes now too. I'm still working on getting him to wear a dog carrier... but I guess that means I have to get him his own that isn't JC or pink. lol

LOL. Your boyfriend sounds like my hubby.....USED to be

He said the same when we got our first baby - but he soon realized that he didn't have much of a choice when it came to clothes

I've had both positive and negative comments about dressing Susanah. The negative ones used to really bother me until I decided "my give-a-damn's busted". Now I just smile, and thank them for their opinion, and continue to shop and buy Susanah clothes.

ooohs and aaahs mostly .....

It is comforting for little dogs to have something hugging them tight. It gives them the feeling that they are being held when they aren't. I know that sometimes my dogs don't like it, but a lot of times they are more comfortable in something than being naked.

But since we've moved to TX, they have been having a lot of naked time!!!

Woah... XXX. Naked time looks fun.

Oh, I had to cover my eyes! That was like yorkie porn! LOL

Yorkiekids · 08-29-2007, 11:22 AM

Actually people think it's cute. My pool man loves when I dress Penny up. He even took pictures with his cell phone.

Potter · 08-29-2007, 11:22 AM

Most people say my Yorkie is cute when I dress him up and I have tons of clothes for him and a few pieces of winter coat. Even my sceptical hubby is now okay with it and is joining in the fun. Only one man commented negatively about him wearing a shirt but he didn't say it to me, he said it to his son who was with him so I didn't say anything. I think its a waste of my breath and time to talk to such rude people
