We don't typically dress Abby up, but for fun we did this year. She was Abby Clause for a while,and for the most part she let us have our fun, then she tried to eat the hat. Do you dress up your dog for Halloween or other holidays?

I don't dress my dog. I think it's just silly with dogs in clothes. If it's a dog that needs something to keep warm at winter, then I can tolerate a normal dog coat, but all those sweaters, hats and things like that, it's ridiculous. What a waste of money that can be spent better on toys, chewbones or other things for the dog. I don't see the cuteness in it at all.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the assortment in Petsmart, and all so priced high! I would like to have her a doggy sweater or something, but I might try to make one. She wouldn't have had the christmas outfit if someone hadn't of passed it down to me years ago. We used to put the cats in it, but they hated it.

My brother dresses up their dogs. It's cute and there are many stores that have dog clothes on line and through catalogs so I would imagine that many people do. I don't have any pets, so no I personally don't. I think it's fun and it looks cute. Pablo

I don't dress my dog, although my kids do (and they're both adults lol) I have the most adorable picture of my one daughters dog dressed as little red riding hood, complete with basket of 'goodies.' The only thing I've ever done to my dog was have it wear a sequined bow tie at my daughters garden wedding here.

We don't dress up our poodle, Annie, on a regular basis, but from time to time we put a little sweater on her - usually when she gets groomed during the winter because she gets a little cold.

I'd like to get our Abby a little sweater, or make one for her myself. She is a small dog and likes to be VERY warm. She goes outside especially now, and shivers so bad. I wonder if I could figure out how to make her something. In Petsmart, i seen a pretty cute one but it was about 20.00! I don't think something so small, should cost so much. Heck, I don't pay 20.00 for one clothes item of my own. LOL

Our Christmas dog - Dressing up for Christmas.....
Abby looks really nice. Yes, we did dress up a dog for Christmas. It was fun and the dog really liked it. We got lots of smiles out of it. I used the picture for my Christmas greetings, too. Call me crazy, we had fun. Happy mylotting!

We had fun too. I dont think Abby liked it too much, but we had fun laughing at her looking and acting goofy. She is such a playful pup so seeing her dressed up, and acting all hyper was surely something.
