Plum, I probably should have used the word "pamper" instead of "baby". I probably wouldn't dress my dog up, but I don't really care if other people do. I don't really think a Scottish terrier for example is really going to care if they have a sweater on as long as it's not hot and he can still do all the dog things they usually do. If the dog doesn't go out of it's way to try to get the clothes off, I don't really see a problem.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
