Most Definately not a Dress Up gal at all,bol. Will skulk & look very put upon at any additions, so not in my repertoire. However LOVE my new Thundershirt & recommend it for others to try if the need for fear issues. It's a Very swaddling comfort. Hugs & Pokes,
Mom will dress me for a special occasion. But it doesn't last long, because I am not a happy camper when dressed!
I don't mind just the tee shirts, I can handle those, although, I do appreciate my winter jacket in the snow.

We brought Brutus home in the December when he was 7 weeks old. We had gotten a ton of snow a few nights after we brought him home, and he was freezing outside. It was so sad to see little Brutus outside shivering when he was just 7 weeks old :( So, we bought him a navy blue sweater which he only wore during the Winter. He couldn't wear it in any other season anyways because he quickly grew out of it! He didn't seem to mind the sweater when he had to wear it. Buckeye hasn't dressed up for anything. He used to have an Ohio State Buckeyes jersey which he grew out of, so now Brutus wears it.. probably twice a year for fun! We've put cat ears and a t-shirt on Buckeye before so he could be a black cat for Halloween (which didn't work out so well) but he was cute. I guess both of our dogs don't mind just wearing a simple sweater or shirt, but putting on a hat, etc, they wouldn't agree with.
My dogs all have differing opinions. BOL
Sandy HATES it unless it is cold. I guess she'd learned that when it's cold, her sweater will help make her warm? When she was a puppy, she was indifferent to it. Didn't care either way. But as she grew, she started finding ways out of them and hates it now. In Winter, though, she'll shove her own head into the sweater.
Sakura and Precious love it. Once they see their shirts or sweaters, they come running and practically put them on themselves. xD
Meepster, Cinnamon and Lilo are all indifferent.
Chance used to like it, but only because he loved rolling around when he was dressed. Silly boy.

I love dressing up! It means I get to go out with mommy and get all kinds of attention from new people.
Birdie likes to wear his cold weather coats and jackets. Since he has not undercoat, they are a necessity. He doesn't wear clothes for play though. He looks nerdy enough without dressing him up! :)
BUHAHAHAHAAA!! ALL the better to tear off !!!!
Clothing is fur sissies!!! Dogs do it commando!!!!!!! All the time !!!!!
BUH HU HUAAAU AHAAAAAAA!

Winter jacket, sometimes a rain slicker. Otherwise just a bandanna, sometimes...My mom will 'dress me up' for a photo session, but then it all comes right off again! BOL!
Milo wears his harness while working, and I have put boots on him for extreme weather. Other than that, he doesn't dress up other than wearing the occasional bandana.
PLEASE...let your animals be animals. They were not meant to wear clothes! OK.. I will let you all do Halloween or if the weather is nasty (I have one Greyhound who wears a coat when it is cold.) These pets are not babies. I also don't get the people who push their small dogs around in strollers. They have 4 feet...let them walk!
Lucy definitely doesn't like it but she tolerates it!
I don't believe animals should wear clothing unless they are little delicate pets with not enough fur to keep them warm in the winter. I also disagree with the stroller idea. I think this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever witnessed. These are animals, not children. Granted, we love our dogs, but if we truly love them, we will let them BE dogs.
Buck was in a 4th of July parade, so he wore an Uncle Sam hat. He didn't mind it, but I took it off when the parade was over. Buck also has a sweater for the winter months - he grew up in San Diego and isn't used to the cold we have in the Bay Area.
The closest Luther gets to being dressed up is wearing his backpack...

Hey that's my German Shepherd Bianca and my cat Harlequin in the costume photo on the main page! :)
That photo was from last Halloween, and they won a costume contest with their Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf costumes. Neither Bianca nor Harley minded the costumes. You can see more photos of them in costume on Bianca's and Harlequin's Dogster/Catster pages.

I could only dress up Saydi when she was a pup.
She was always sleeping, and she hardly would wake up.

I am ok with being dressed up. It's not my fav,but I have this cute little sweater my mommy adores!
I hate clothes of all kinds, but Kelsey wears a sweater in the winter :)
For special events only. I think we'd rip the clothes off each other playing if we were dressed up.
I love all kind of clothes, as long as they are not on me! BOL
Radley, Sammi, and Shiloh have to wear sweaters in the winter or they just sit inside shivering. But they dont wear them for fashion or for the cute factor.
If my dog had clothes on like in this picture she would most likely hate me and or bite me. She hates clothes. Hates them. I don't blame her she has too much fur, she is always hot. :)
Dogs do not need to wear "cloths" for they have their own cloths. It's called fur. It looks sad to see a god wearing something and it's over 90 degrees outside. I feel sorry for the animal. Now if it's very cold out and the dog is a skinny one or one with a thin coat then I understand. But other than that it doesn't seem necessary or cute even to put a dog in people cloths.
Helaine !! get a grip! LOL
Im sure no one dresses their dogs 24 - 7, it's just for fun!

My mom tries to dress me up, but I shred whatever she puts me in :)
Only for special occasions!
Me has a sweater for winter just in case.We live in Florida and it doesn't get that cold for the most part...I had some clothes when I was little but Momma don't put them on me..I have my Jaguars Jersey which I loved on game day and would prance around showing it off. That was my favorite..Now Its just my sweater if I need it and she has just to save a t-shirt with a picture of me painted on it to save..
I did once or twice for pictures.

For 'pichers' and when it's cold out.
I do not dress up my dogs. They do have a ton of bandanas (for ALL the seasons, holidays, etc. that they wear for photos and special occassions), but that's as far as it goes. I owned a dog jacket (thinking my first dog may get cold) but he would swim in the midst of winter, so we never used it and gave it away. I must admit though I did buy a hilarious pink top for Vista to put on her as a joke. It is indeed hilarious, and she's only worn it once or twice around the house just to amuse us (she tolerates it for us). We call it her "pink nighty" and we never keep it on for more than a few minutes.
As an exception, my mom's shih tzu needs clothes to keep warm in the winter!

I haven't dressed Chloe up since she was still a pup. but im planning to buy her some clothes on special occassions only since we both live in a hot tropical country. Maybe on Christmas, i can have her wear a pretty cute dress.
Ya, Sammie hates it but we usually put her in my sisters build-a-bear clothes (It really does fit her!)
I would do it more often but clothes for 3 big dogs are not only expensive but hard to find!! Sure make for some cute pics though. :-)
Sunni loves to get dressed up.she likes bandanas, costumes, shirts, and footies. if she gets dressed up, she sits and waits for the cameras to come out and the treats to start flowing. bol.
I have a coat for winter and a rain slicker, as it get really wet and muddy where I live. Mommy is also getting me a T-shirt, but that is because says "FEARFUL DOG IN TRAINING --- DO NOT TOUCH"
i was riley for halloween and she was me we were awesome!!!
I have put a few T-Shirts on Daisy and she doesn't really like it, so I don't put them on her. But she does look cute...
We dressed up our dog once, just for fun, ya know, to try it. We went to PetSmart and found this cute little thing so we bought it. SAdly i have no picture of her in it. Boy, was that funny! She tore it to shreds!! And then there's the Snuggie.........

Toby has a "bath robe" made from a sweatshirt so that he doesn't get the whole house wet after a bath, he seems to like it fine so we might do Halloween this year too.
My 2 cockers were in a Christmas parade dressed as Santa and his Elf. I even had a Christmas card made with them dressed up.
I'm sorry, but I hate it when people dress their dogs up! Dogs are dogs, not people or toys. I treat my dog like family, not like a toy and dress her up, paint her nails, carry her and bags, and just... not let her be a dog!
cold and halloween
Only bandanas he likes them and he looks really cute:P
My Pom never wears clothes but my min pin and poodle wear clothes once it turns chilly. The min pin really needs them. I say "to each his/her own" so it doesn't bother me one way or the other. Dogs are a not wolves and have been domesticated in many ways. Wearing clothes is just one way we've domesticated some of them. As long as they and their owners are happy, I'm happy.
i only put i bandanna on him
My dogs are my children, and I think they are more confident when they look good.
We've only put my boyfriend's t-shirts on Tyson because it fits him so perfectly! So he might be strolling around the house wearing a nice button up shirt or band t-shirt. We don't do it too often. Its actually been a while because it's snowy out.
