Do dogs really need to wear T shirts? Ok I will admit that as a former chihuahua owner, I did subject our puppy to wearing a sweater. It was cold, but...was it necessary??
As we drove through our neighborhood after picking up 3 little ladies from school, I noticed a little dog with it's owner..wearing what I would consider a fall day sort of shirt. Not too heavy, not a tank top either. I live in a very easy going climate. Most would consider it warm year round. I turned to my hubby and said "Is that really necessary? Dogs have fur for a reason!"
We giggled.
My point is this..I turned to him and said.."This is my next blog topic."
He replied, grinning.."AAhahhh..I was waiting for you to start saying that!!Yess, that's what I've been waiting for!!"
I want to welcome my new followers and thank you for your support.
This is a shorty post. Hubby is cooking us dinner ( I know, lucky girl!), and multiplication tables have to be studied.
I love all of your comments..some brought tears to my eyes. Having each other's support means everything, doesn't it? I think so.
I am looking forward to reading all of your blogs as well..forgive me if I haven't visited yet. As most of you know firsthand..I don't have lots of "free time"..I forget what that even feels like..but somehow I think the day I have too much of that coveted "free time", I'm gonna miss these days gone by. XOXO

I'm just your average overweight, thirtysomething, working Mom trying to figure it all out.
I love my Australian shepherd, but he would not be caught dead in a t-shirt. Or costume. He inherited a raincoat and booties from a friend of ours after her dog died and there was 1) no way he was going to put up with that and 2) no way I would take the time to put all that on him. I like having a dog, not a dress-up doll. Just my 2 cents! Come visit whenever you have time, but no rush.
ReplyDeleteIn this house we only have plain t-shirts (that were given to us and hardly ever get used), one sweater per dog and hunters jackets (for their protection and warmth).
ReplyDeleteI have three chihuahuas and my smallest will bring me her sweater. So, I guess she likes it. The other two don't really like it, but on occassion I will put their jackets on them when the temps are super cold.
I firmly don't believe in putting my dogs in costumes! To me that is for the humans benefit, not the dogs.
I have to admit - animals in clothing makes me smile, unless the animal looks mad. Heh.
ReplyDeleteI have a four month old Staff/ Mastiff mix and I just couldn't put him through the humiliation. HOWEVER, I used to have a black lab (great dog) and he would let me put wings on him. It started for Halloween, I dressed him as a fairy (don't know what I was thinking) he seemed to like it, so sometimes, I'd just strap the wings on him and he'd just hang out like that.
