Dressing up dogs

[CathyBogart]

I have a jacket for Jasper because he gets cold. He's not a fashion accessory, nor is he a toy breed, but he has thin fur and he gets cold.

the only things I put on my dogs are bandanas, sunglasses, hats, those reindeer headbands and that's it. NO clothes for my dogs!

Sadie does not like costumes, sunglasses, or reindeer antlers. She will tolerate bandanas and even xmas bells around her neck since they don't get in her way. She has several sweaters and jackets which she wears in winter (she has short hair and is part whippet - so no fat to keep her warm). She tolerates them sometimes and if she understood that they keep her warm she would love them since she loves blankets over her but they fall off when she moves.

Why dress up a dog? It's cute, makes for good pictures, and if all I had to do was dress up on occasion but other than that sleep all day, run around outside, and have dinner served to me - I think I could put up with a few photoshoots in a goofy costume.
