I completely agree with the opinion that many people have about not dressing dogs in clothes becuase it looks cute even though the animal really is being somewhat tortuned by wearing these garments. However, I remember I used to have a golden retriever dog who every night every winter would push through my half opened bedroom door. She would snuggle with me and keep me warm after I would kick off all my blankets. Every night, this demonstration of affection would occur. If my dog was still alive today I would be more than happy to return the favor and keep her warm just like she did to me all those years.Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705147093461899135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517261227789660623.post-79687146590789676482008-07-15T08:50:00.000-04:002008-07-15T08:50:00.000-04:00Hello Diane and all animal lovers!I, too, fall on ...Hello Diane and all animal lovers!<BR/>I, too, fall on the practical side of pet-wear. In another post, I'll have to report on those who knit for rescue dogs and other working dogs. It's a fascinating story!<BR/><BR/>Diane, I'll email you now, as well.

I'm very much against dressing dogs (or any pets) up -- that's really for human benefit BUT I do feel it is a good idea to have sweaters or coats for dogs for those chilly times or wet days. I guess I'm for the practical rather than the silly :)<BR/><BR/>I remember reading an article and then seeing a brief news story about 2 years ago in which a group of ladies who gather to knit projects for the needy took on a project to benefit penguins. They knit them little jackets because the penguins had been involved in an oil spill and the resulting 'cleaning' necessary stripped them of all their natural oils. The penguins were beginning to die of hypothermia so the ladies took the project on to warm the penguins! I thought it was a great project.<BR/><BR/>Diane<BR/>PS: I lost your email and wanted to respond about the question you had regarding my environment column and getting kids involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
