no costume on my dog

I seem to be in the minority by not thinking it is appropiate to dress dogs or other animals in costumes. Our family has never even tied a bow around a dog's neck.
It seems demeaning to decorate animals and want them to do circus tricks.
Last winter I was thinking of getting Duchess a sweater or jacket for the worst winter weather, but I know she wouldn't stand for it. Just as well! If I saw how cute she looked I would probably go out shopping for another.
But really, other than necessity why subject your loved pet to the unnatual addition of dressing them up? Bah Humbug
