My parents' jack russell, though.. he loves wearing his blanket (it's like a horse blanket) in the winter, and would probably love wearing a sweater or jacket (we don't choose those, though, because he gets into burrs and luckily they don't stick to the outside of his blanket). He gets really cold with his short, thin coat and snuggles in to his blanket right away when you present it. His blanket is orange (we live where people could conceivably hunt), so he could easily be made into a pumpkin. |
That sounds adorable. Some dogs can use the extra layers, my parents have an adopted Australian terrier. He was left outside by his previous owner and frostbit his feet, now he has to wear boots when the weather gets extremely cold. If left bare-pawed he will walk until his feet hurt so badly he literally flops onto the ground on his side. Putting boots on him allowed him to walk and also allowed him to "do his business" outside where it belonged.
When I was a kid I would always dress my dog up. She didn't seem to mind it at all, in fact I would say that she enjoyed the attention she received.
