For those of you who like to dress your B's

Basenji Talk

  • I was in the market for a sweater for Baroo since he gets cold so easily, so I checked Ebay. I typed in "dog clothing" and I have to say, I was very amused with what came up! There is everything from overalls to hoodies, pajamas, costumes, party dresses, kimonos, robes, designer clothes, hats, booties, scarves, and even a leather Harley jacket. There are some great looking sweaters and coats too. I got him a green argyle one. I know I have seen many of you posting about looking for sweaters. I don't know if anyone has checked here, but it is worth a look, if nothing else just to see some of the things that people are dressing their dogs in! I was cracking up looking through it all!

    Here are a few examples:

    Does your dog wear thermal pajamas?

    You should get some… lol!

    How about a fur trimmed satin robe:

    Every dog should have one!

    Or a hat and scarf for the posh doggie:

    This would be shredded in 2 minutes!

    This is actually fitting for a B though:

    How true!

    Check it out for yourself if you need a good laugh! :p


  • hahaha… I think Lexi needs the satin robe!! ;)


  • So cute! Dallas has been shivering in the AM when I take him out to potty. I should get him a sweater! I feel so bad that I have been putting him inside my jacket to carry him back into the house. :p


  • I'll have to find the dropout coat for EL D – he does his class exercises just perfectly at home but in class he acts like the stupidest one there. :)


  • @BDawg:

    hahaha… I think Lexi needs the satin robe!! ;)

    I thought of Lexi when I saw that picture! She would say something like, "Daaahling Miles, fetch me some champange, would you?"


  • hahahahahah… Awesome! ;)


  • I have the Sally Wallis sweaters for the dogs when it cold outside, or in the house.
    My old dogs used to live in them…to help keep them warm in the winter.
    They are wonderful.
    I have shared the site and will be happy to do this again, if anyone wants it.
    I can do this privately.
    We also have rain jackets for walking in the PNW weather.
    But as far as just having clothes for dressing them, nope, the dogs live to go around the house commando style.


  • The first thing I thought of when looking at those doggie clothes was the scene in the beginning of 101 Dalmations where Pongo is watching the various pairs of dogs and their humans walking along. I was amused by that association. I don't think any of the dogs in that scene had clothes on, but they very well could have - particularly the poodle. If there is such thing as a doggie runway strut she had it down pat.

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.
  • It's raining.. it's pouring.. my lovely morning.

    We have actually been really lucky in this regard. Our backyard is enclosed by a picket fence reinforced with chicken wire around the bottom. It was here when we moved in last year. Cyrus has never tried to dig or climb out of the fence at all. We are actually hoping to replace our fencing with vinyl this year, so it will be even more secure. Cyrus does not have access to the outdoors when we are not home, however. He is too clever for his own good, and we worry about what he would do if left to his own devices!

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!

    It is amazing how smart they are, but I worry that not only could the house have burned, but they may have been hurt as well. Anyone of us who has kids knows it can take just a millisecond. (I guess we all have our B kids.) When things are just too quiet, I go hunting too!
