I'd like to understand why you think dressing an animal is abusive, skizziks. Not a challenge, just interested in your thoughts.
We have 5 dogs. Two have no interest in wearing clothes at all and will take them off. Two just love their sweaters in the cold weather. My little girl adores getting dressed up in just about anything I put on her. All it takes is for me to go to the drawer where her clothes are kept and she gets all excited, wagging, wiggling, barking, etc. They are all individuals with unique personalities, and I treat them as such. No abuse here.
I don't have enough posts yet to link to an image, but I do have a photo of Clarice in her parka in my album. As for Halloween, I'm not sure what we're doing yet, so unsure if she'll be dressed up or not. She has in years past been a princess, and a ballerina
