THE PUG PICTURE!!! so cute

Dog clothes are always so debatable in my social circle. Most of them think a dog has fur and that's good enough. I think its cute but my dogs never let me dress them up in clothes they try to rip them off.

I think more than anything a dog in a big city should wear those little boots especially during snow season and when all those bad chemicals are thrown to melt ice.

withcbaby, you can tell your friends that some dogs really do need that extra warmth! i have a greyhound, and awesome though she may be, she was bred to be not much more than skin and bones, so MN winters make a coat necessary. if it can have a bright yellow lightning bolt on it, so much the better.

I've seen plenty of small dogs shivering they're so cold! Sometimes it's pathetic to see them wrapped in a blanket, being carried. I'd rather see them hoofing it on their own in a sweater.

Related to your comment "...we turn down the heater significantly while at work..." please don't put any clothing on your dog while it's alone in the house. I only put sweaters on my dogs when I'm with them. You should never leave a collar or any other clothing on your dog if it's at home alone for any length of time. If they catch the collar or sweater on something while they're alone they will struggle and quite possibly hurt themselves badly trying to escape.

we use our old clothes from our baby doll outfits, on our lil pomeranian.
