Why do you dress your yorkie?

[Christine Daae]

Although I do not have my Yorkie yet, I am planning on dressing him. Where I live it is almost never warm, good summers are rear here, and for some reason my home is always cold, or at least I think so, everyone else thinks it's fine. Though I do worry about what people will say, I feel slightly better after reading some of your posts, though at the end of the day it is my decision and it really isn't anyone else's place to comment unless I ask their opinion.

Ahi gets dressed because I said so. LOL j/k I just thought it was cute and she does get cold. We mostly wear dresses when we go out. At home most of the time she runs around naked. She has a couple of t-shirts she wears indoors if its a little chilly from the a/c. If I grab one of her dresses or harness she comes running and turns around for me so I can put it on her. She love clothes because it means we are going out...most likely shopping for her. If she sees me getting ready, I can't shake her off of me. She follows me to make sure that I don't forget to dress and take her. lol

I never had anyone say anything bad to me about her wearing clothes. They just all think she is too darn cute and want to pet her and take her home. A lot of people also ask where did I get her clothes from.

Georgie doesn't like wearing clothes at all, but sometimes I take charge and make him LOL. He has polos, rain coats, sweaters ect....I do put them on when it's cold or raining.

My brother thinks I am crazy but he knows I do not care at all what he thinks

They just look sooo cute in their little clothes...especially the girl's dresses!!!

Max always wears a shirt and doesn't mind it so much any more. I do think he wishes he was a "junk yard" dog with a mama that just left him alone sometimes!!! LOL! He figits when I brush him, brush his teeth or try to blow dry him. He doesn't know how good he's got it!

Because its fun & she looks cute. Rarely wears them at home though because it tangles her long hair more. And because it makes people smile. She doesn't mind at all.

I use to dress my dogs only in winter when it was cold to go outside. But then Destiny came along. She has baby fine silky hair so she gets cold very easily. She also gets sunburned easily so I wear light clothes on her when outside. So I started buying outfits for her, dresses, pj's, etc. Then I just started dressing the others and they were alright with it too. Destiny loves getting dressed. Anytime I get clothes out she runs up to have me put them on.
And the bows, well that is a yorkie thing to keep their hair out of their eyes, lol.

I recently bought her shoes. I'm not too big of a fan of shoes on dogs but I take Destiny everywhere with me. Unfortunately I can't carry her in my arms for too long without hurting, and we have came across a few situations where shoes would have made a huge difference so I gave in and bought her some.

So for me it all started it off for necessity reasons and just moved on to where I just love dressing them up, they are my babies after all. I wouldn't do it though if they didn't like it, so no harm is being done.

Fortunately I've never gotten any rude remarks before, they all just comment on how cute they look.
