How do you feel about dressing up pets?

1 Answer

Answer :

I like animals in their “natural state”, because I think they look the most beautiful that way. If I’m going to dress up my dog, it’s only for utilitarian purposes, like when I take him out for a walk in very cold weather——booties to protect his paws from the ice and de-icers, and a wrap-around “jacket” to keep his body warm. But I would never dress my dog in human-type clothing. It’s denigrating.
