My dog Mya is definitely not a fashionable dog. Forget the cute little dog dress, or the little dog coat. She refuses to wear them. My dog is anti dog clothing. She doesn’t like to wear any dog apparel at all.
She also doesn’t like wearing bows. No top knot for her. She will simply not keep her top knot in. She rubs it on the floor, until she has completely pulled the bow out.

I guess there won’t be any Sugar and Spice Dog Dress in my shih-tzu’s future.
Come to think about it,while the clothes are cute, do dogs really need clothes? Mya knows when she looks ridiculous.
Isn’t she adorable?

I'm innocent!

The ‘I’m Innocent’ quote goes too well with the pic. So cute!!
No, dogs don’t need clothes; only human does/think so. I wonder if dogs would have this thought whenever they’re forced into any clothing:
“HELLO????”

Mya is adorable, and I have to agree with her. I don’t care for dog clothes either.
I guess I can understand, if you have a small short haired dog or chinese crested and live in a cold region, putting on a sweater to take them out in the winter. I just don’t get dressing them up.

Mya does not need clothes–she’s cute without them!

She is too cute! How old is she now?
Tammy is right, the only time a dog (or any small, short haired animal) needs clothes is if it’s small, and the weather is cold.
I do know of a dog that LOVES to get dressed. He’s a little Weiner dog, and whenever my friend says it’s time to get dressed, he’ll run over to his clothes basket and pick out what he want’s to wear. Then again, he’s an odd little dog.

She is adorable! My shih tzu Rocky won’t do the top knot either – he rubs it right out. I think if I put clothes on him he’d put a hit out on me.

Bev, well Mya has kept a top knot in for two days now. I guess the secret is in not letting her know it is in there. lol

Well, I gave up on Rocky’s topknot and clipped it off. My husband says he looks more manly that way!
