Kilts for dogs

**seasaidhlinne** · 1st April 13, 06:02 PM

Yup. So I may have drank a wee bit'o wine and got to thinking if I have a pink tartan running belt(I fun 5K's, not fast and not well but I RUN them) and that if I buy a kilt than my dog should have a kilt to. (Wine and lack of sleep)
and I found this.

I am always in two minds about dressing animals up. I am not accusing anybody or pointing the finger, but I think that nature has done a very good job of adapting animals to their environment. I truly do not know whether it does them any harm, but I don't think I would dress up my dog.

With all respect, I have always found clothes on animals (barring for warmth when we take them into colder areas then their natural range), to be "cute" to the point of nausea.

Don't let your dog share your wine, don't let 'em wear your clothes except for funny photos. DO let 'em walk you home when you've had enough.

I also don't like dressing one's dog in silly outfits (e.g Halloween masks, costumes, etc.) and I agree that most breeds usually don't require protection from the elements--they are, after all, covered with fur. That said, some breeds--due to, um....breeding--should be caped in cold or even cool and/or wet weather (greyhounds and hairless breeds come to mind). What I especially like about the cape and "kilt" outfit I bought for my Della--and my primary reason for doing so--is that it not only looks very smart and dignified, but is made of fairly heavy, good quality pure wool flannel (actually better than my Argyle jacket!), and provides thorough coverage from collar to croup. It is well-made, very practical in terms of thermal protection, and by no means a novelty get-up. I'm a proud kilt wearer, and so is she.
