Alright Scott. We all thought the little pink sweater was cute. I beg you not to let things get out of control with the pet apparel. Tonight we ran into a perfect example of "dog sweaters gone bad". Does Animal Planet offer a "what not to wear" segment for house pets? Reese was certain that this was Santa's doggie. Perhaps I spoiled the fun when i quickly reminded her that Santa has reindeer, not silky terriers....but I couldn't let my own child grow up thinking that this type of pet abuse is acceptable. Should this even be legal?
I mean really! Who does that? How humiliating! It can't be comfortable. And all for the sake of a what...Christmas card? Honestly, what kind of respectable human being....
I don't know if I should even bother defending myself, but Reese did throw the Blue Steel face on her own....and those are not tears in Quin's eyes. These photos were taken right after we put medicine drops in them, I swear! Ok...but at least they're not real antlers!
Back to the issue at hand, what is your stand on pet apparel? Good thing or bad thing?

HILARIOUS!
ok so i am not a huge fan of people dressing up their pets. however i have bought a pink hoodie with the word "princess" across the back in rhinstones for Jordan's Jack Russel Daisy. it was cute, she really wanted it and i like to make my little girl happy.
and...
i REALLY like Lacey in the pink sweater.
and...
that Santa Sweater is a total scream!
soooo maybe i am changing my mind.
Totally hilarious. I regularly dress up my cat, Pickle. He hates it, I love it. When he learns to speak English so he can tell me to stop, I will.
Was that really a Silky? It looked like a Yorkie to me.
Here is my (eventually to be proven hypocritical) stance:
Dogs should only wear clothes to go outside when it is so freaking cold that you wish you had a second coat to wear over your coat. If its like -10 with the windchill and you don't at least try to warm up your little pup, then you aren't being a good pet owner. If its 60 and sunny and your dog has a (dress) on... you are crazy.
Anyways, Lacey usually lets us know when its sweater time by making a run for the safety of the couch when we open the door for a walk, or going on the porch and then bolting back inside.
She does rock that sweater pretty hard, though.
Never a good idea. Let animals be animals and dress your kids up instead. They can tell you if it's too much. Animals can't and that's cruel.
Yes, but what if these people don't have kids? And honestly, I don't think the pets care. If it makes the owner happy, go for it! Me...I would never. Antlers on the other hand...
