However, Molly did not take too kindly to wearing her Scottish plaid winter coat I bought her for Christmas 2004. In fact, she hated it. Although many experts would disagree with me, I think each dog is different.

"I love to find all kinds of goodies in my turtle sandbox like leaves, twigs, rocks and, oh boy, those homemade dog treats are yummy!"   Happy Jack I feel that as long as something like dressing your dog in clothes is not dangerous to the Cairn and the Cairn doesn't mind or in fact loves it, I see no harm. I know of several dogs owned by people who love to get dressed up and show off. If that makes the dog happy and it doesn't impend their quality of life or puts the dog in danger, I see nothing wrong with it.

My Cairns, Molly and Jack, do not wear clothes nor do I dress them in Halloween dog costumes. But I sure love to go to Halloween dog shows and check out the dogs that strut their stuff with pride.
