Yes I know they don't match but I am on a budget and they didn't have any red booties. So anyways she looked adorable, and so I was just wondering who dresses up their dogs?

Occasionally we'll put one on her just to watch her pout. Cheap laughs. ;-)

So we don't dress her regularly but we are crazy enough to send her to playcare. She's a beagle and our weather highs and lows aren't severe.

I'm thinking of getting a doggy sweater for the current dog because she doesn't have much fur.

He couldn't escape and the blow dryer made him all warm and fluffy.

Shes really a sweet cat, but hates water.
