Do you dress your pet for holidays?  email this discussion to a friend?

I have a sister in law that dresses her dogs up for Halloween and for Christmas. I haven't seen it, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she did it for Easter also.
I'm sorry, I can't do it. I don't have issues with the bandana about the neck. I have seen huge rottweilers with bandanas and sunglasses on. I admit, I have put sweaters on the dogs, but only to help keep them warm when it's really cold out.
It isn't the money. If I were a millionaire I still wouldn't dress my pets like some of these movie stars and such do. But have you seen some of these outfits?

I have seen some pets dressed up with hallowen costumes on. It seems kinda silly to me a pet does not know what is going on and I bet the costumes are irrigating to them. What I really hate is seeing jewelry on animals like Paris Hilton putting bling bling on her puppy that is so stupid!

My dogs wear clothes and costumes all the time. My male especially likes to wear things. They are chihuahuas so they are small and get cold easily in the winter here. In the summer they have harness vests and t-shirts, bandanna's etc. Gizmo my male won 3 rd place in his last Halloween costume...lol They both have pj's too. I usually buy their clothes on sale or clearance so I don't have to spend much for them.
Blessed be, Mari

Ive seen some of these things,and I think its idiotic.
Ok something to keep them warm in a really cold climate,but some of these people go way over the top.
Why would anyone want to dress a dog up for Easter,and what has that got to do with jesus christ and him getting crucified.

I think some people just like to show their excitement for the season. Also, some like to dress them for holiday photos. I admit, my animals are family to me, and I love having them in photos, but I really don't see the need in the costumes.

i think my cats would kill me in my sleep if i even thought about it LOL
they won't even stand a collar,let alone an outfit.

i have a friend who dresses up her pugs,and i have to admit it is kind of cute on them though.
she had reindeer antlers on them the one year.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Carolyn63 (796)   ranked 37 out of 1,584 in pet owner  4 years ago

I'm with you on the cat issue. I could see all 7 of them off to the side planning an attack.
I do think the little hairbows are cute on the long haired breeds, but antlers on a dalmation just doesn't look right. Polkadot deers, lol.
She has a little neice now and she loves to dress her up, and Kaylee loves it. I've yet to see a dog volunteer for dress up.

i had an afghan hound that allowed a hat and sunglasses,but that was it.
though i admit..the sunglasses did go with his long blond hair pretty well.he looked like a surfer dude
LOL


myLot reputation of 99/100. Carolyn63 (796)   ranked 37 out of 1,584 in pet owner  4 years ago

That makes me think of the afghan hounds you see in the commercials. The top of the convertable down, their hair blowing in the wind, and the guy thinking it's a beautiful blonde woman, lol.
I know that pets can be trained. But I still think accessories are for people. I understand when there is a need, such as weather. But I think pets are adorable, period.
Mind you, I am trying to imagine painting the toenails on my puppies. It's fun enough trying to teach them not to pounce on me.
Thanks for making me giggle.

yes i did, and i usually say, holy macaroni coz of it's price, shhheeeezzz more expensive than my own! haha
i think it is cute and i like to see it specially in pictures, i tried to put a shirt to our dog and all he did was stand there (not a single move) for more than 5min, it is hilarious and sad at the same time.
one time i put on boots for him coz we just bought our car and it's all leather and would like to bring him for a ride (vacation) so i tried the boots on and we sure laugh all day coz he starts walking as if there are lots of poopsss on the floor, i cant explain it but it is really funny, i wish i captured it on video it is such a memory.
i have bought some patterns for dog clothes and would like to try making 'em for him see how it goes, haha
oh well, that will be very interesting!
btw, NO i am not gonna buy something that is ridiculously priced just to dressed my dog...

I hate to see our two pets at home. Moreover, I don't even want to dress them anytime. HAHA. I just don't want them eat so much but they still want to eat non-stop. Maybe if they change their attitude, I can bring them clothes. They wish!

keep posting,

Mickey
