I always feel sorry for the poor doggies decked out in their owners' interpretation of their "Sunday Best". I always wondered if their buddies would take the mickey, but it's all clear now - the pesky squirrels are the ones that mock! :) Regards, John.

LOL We don't see this as much in the South, but the Northern pups are well dressed. Some have more "outfits" than their owners. (Guess I just don't get why dogs need clothes.) No wonder the squirrels are laughing. Loved this one. A fave for me. Hugs, Carolyn

Some breeds have hair, non shedding but non insulating, or fine short coats, never bred for colder climates. I like mine with an all weather coat, always dressed and ready to go ;)

Lol! Those poor little dogs, I care for a few of those; that's a hairdo not a coat ;)

Hey Mo, I really feel bad for "accessory" pets that they carry in their bags.....
