OK--- I gotta know. How many of us really dress out dogs daily? Do you keep them in their clothes all day? Is it just for special occasions? Just for at home? Just for going out in public? I have to admit it's fun but my family thinks I've gone off the deep end because I bought a dress for Jorja.

I mainly dress her when she is going somewhere but also at home sometimes too. She just got a new raincoat...she hates the rain and with rainy season coming I know she will wear it alot.

I dress my babies when we go out and for special occasions. I usually don't keep them dressed at home, unless it's cold. After their baths and blow drying..I put sweaters on them for a couple of hours so they don't catch a chill.

AprilLove · 03-21-2009, 10:31 AM

I only dress mine for special occasions or if they are cold or need protection from the weather

chachi · 03-21-2009, 10:33 AM

I always dress mine on Holidays and special occasions. I dress them some times when we are just home on an ordinary day. Dont worry about what anyone thinks if you want to dress her up do. Your in good company here

Twinkle wears a coat outside when its cold. She has got some clothes but he's not really a fan, so most of the time she's naked

When were outside and it's hot, I don't put a shirt on the boys. When we're inside and it's warm I don't wear shirts on them. My family {Kids} have made remarks. I told them when they have dogs they may do what they want with them. These are MY furbabys and they LIKE to wear shirts!! LOL My Husband always says, "Whatever your Mother says, They're her dogs!!"!! I win!!

Bellas_mommy · 03-21-2009, 10:37 AM

I dress Bella every single time we leave the house...even if its just to make a quick run to the store

My boyfriend claims that he thinks I'm nuts, but he walks around like a proud papa whenever she gets a compliment!

Jackson doesn't like clothes, and I'm not into dressing him up! No clothes for Jackson. I'll put a cute bandanna on him for holidays though or collars.

If your family thinks you've gone off the deep end...they wouldn't know what to think about me! LOL!! Chloe wears dresses everyday. The only time she doesn't is when mommy's not at home and she's at with daddy (he doesn't understand, he'll come around one day) She has her own little dresser and TONS of clothes! Since it's been cold, she needs her clothes on..but when summer comes around I'm not going to dress her. It gets really hot here in the summers....

I dress Remi when it's chilly, other than that, I prefer not to dress him because when I pick him up and pet him I want to feel his furr not a sweater!

Well living in Ontario Layla has to wear clothes daily from about mid september until around April- it is just too cold here in the winter for her NOT to wear clothes- but in the summer all she wears is a pretty harness and a bow

ParrotLady · 03-21-2009, 10:45 AM

Since they don't have fur, we put clothes on according to the temperature at her level. (We have a little thermometer.

) She spends most of day in my office that is NOT well insulated. So, on cold days we put a little shirt on her at home and something pretty if we go "out."

The first thing we did, once we new we were going to get her, is go to the store and buy her a pink coat!

It was cold outside and we wanted her to be warm on the way home. LOL

What can I say, it is our first little "foo foo" dog and we always wanted a little dog to dress up and take with us.

BarbiesBabyJada · 03-21-2009, 10:49 AM

I dress Jada sometimes she has a dress ,sweater,coat But mostly at home she wears a bow If I give her a bath then she's tried I will put a sweater on her for awhile ..Never got a chance yet to take her with me other places cause the only place I go is to the store

SweetViolet · 03-21-2009, 10:52 AM

Puddin wears panties when she is not in the tiled areas of the house, as an accident and my oiled oak floors just won't mix! She wears clothes when we go out, as we tend to be out for extended periods of time. I bring food and water for her as well as a puddle pad, but I can't guarantee that we'll be able to stop and spread out the pad at the moment she needs it. Her diapers and onesies are fitted with an extra absorbent panty liner and I bring extras along just in case she needs to be changed.

Even though it is summer here, she wears jammies or onesies at night because she sleeps in our room and it is air conditioned...she gets cold. I dress her in cute vest-type harnesses when we go out, or her onesies. She doesn't seem to mind at all, and in fact is very cooperative about putting on her nappies as she knows she will get to go to parts of the house that are otherwise forbidden! As soon as she is back in the tiled part of the house, off come the nappies. I DO want her house-trained, after all!
