I saw this on another forum... thought it was kind of interesting. :)

I agree with parts of it. I don't put Mitzy in clothes unless its extremely cold and I'm cold with layers on. Jake is a big wimpy baby and cries/refuses to go outside if its to cold. So I have to put his sweatshirts on (which he loves, daddy hates) so hell go potty. They both won't pee in the rain so they pee on the indoor porch for mom to clean up.

I agree with some of it but not all of it. During heat, I wouldn't put my dogs in clothes but during the cold, they do wear them. And besides, it is my dog and as long as I am not doing anything to hurt the dog, then it should be my choice whether I dress it or not.
