thanks Marie We never force Dolly to wear a sweater and we immediately take it off if she doesn't act happy or move around in it.
If she doesn't like wearing it I will just let her wear a collar. I want Dolly to be happy and if that means no sweaters then that is what we will do. Donna Spoiled Doggies Online Store.
