I’m super excited because I have a friend who’s preparing for her very own toy dog clothing fashion show in Los Cabos, Mexico! She’s putting this show on to help raise money for the local Humane Society there, and so she’s getting ready, collecting all the coats for small dogs that she can from friends and coworkers, so she can dress up the smaller dessert mutts at the Los Cabos Humane Society in little toy dog clothes and help raise money for the cause. And, with a bit of luck, a few of the dogs will catch the eye of potential pet owners and get adopted. I’m super excited for these little chihuahuas and other little doggies in Cabo that will be strutting their stuff to save their skins and help raise money to keep their shelter running!

My friend truly has a heart of gold. In a past life, I used to work at the Los Cabos Humane Society and she would come in and volunteer when she had time away from her job. She’d feed the smaller dogs and dress them up in their sweaters for small dogs and their donated chiwawa clothes at night so they’d stay warmer over the cool dessert night and sleep better. And we’d walk the little dogs over the dessert sand dunes behind the shelter and give the pets-in-waiting their exercise each day.

Like I said, this person has a heart of gold, and a few years ago she came up with this great idea for a fundraiser for the shelter dogs: she would put on a little doggy fashion show. See, it’s very expensive proposition–running an animal shelter–and when you house 50-60 dogs plus about 30 cats, you spay and neuter them, you take care of their health and medicate them when needed, you feed them, and you take care of all their vet checks and vaccinations, plus you fly them out to adoptive homes in the US and Canada when they have people interested in adopting them, the expenses add up rather quickly and you really need to have a few good fundraisers every year just so that you can continue to operate and survive to help more dogs like these little critters:

So my friend came up with the idea of dressing up the little dogs at their shelter in the small yorkie apparel and other clothing for toy doggies she had collected over the years, and hosting a fashion show for the dogs and make an event out of the whole thing, to bring people in and collect donations. It was a great idea, and she’s getting ready to do it for the second time, now!

I’ve been sending my spare dog apparel for small dogs down to her and asking my neighbors if they had any clothes for toy dogs they didn’t want any more, so we could send them down for my friend to dress up the cutest small dogs at the shelter with and have her little fashion show fundraiser with the smaller dogs there.

I wanted to share this story with you because it’s not every day you hear about dog outfits for small dogs making a core difference in the lives of so many animals, especially when we’re talking life and death here with the shelter dogs! Usually when I’m thinking about little chihuahua clothes, I’m thinking about how cute and cuddly they make little dogs look and how this pink sweater would match great with those white doggy boots, and all of this other superficial stuff–not that there’s anything wrong with that; I think that’s part of the joy of dog clothes: they let us have fun and not take things so seriously. But for the dogs who aren’t living the life in a nice home with a loving family to call their own, it’s nice to see that toy dog clothing can still serve a positive purpose and help these dogs out, along with the incredible work of some people like my friend with the heart of gold in Cabo!

If you’ve got a maltese and you take him to the office and he’s got little clothes on, everyone is going to want to come over and pet that dog. If you’re walking along the street on a little walk with your dog, and you pass by other dog owners, they won’t be able to keep from gushing about how cute your dog looks. If you’ve got a yorkie and you dress him up in tiny outfits for yorkies, and even if you’re just at home and you have guests over who have just popped in, they’re not going to be able to resist bending down and petting your little dog and commenting on how cute your little furball is!

I’ve really been noticing lately that there are few things as irresistible as a little dog wearing small dog clothing. This fashion is everywhere today, and it’s wedging its way into the culture one outfit at a time. You’ve got shirts for little dogs, you’ve got smaller dog clothes for the little breeds like chihuahuas, you even see them showing up in the movies more and more as our pets share the spotlight with their human actor counterparts. And you’ve got online boutiques with dog clothing popping up left and right, with new ones every week it seems.

These dog clothes take the natural cuteness of these little dogs and they amp it up… it’s like chicken soup crack for the adorable dog’s soul! These little dog outfits make it nearly impossible for anybody to ignore your dog, so I definitely don’t recommend them if you’re trying to keep to yourself and you’re having a crappy day or something and you just want to be left alone–do not dress up your dog in small clothing in this case because everyone is going to want to come over and talk to you and it’s going to be a situation where the two of you become an attention magnet.

That said, if you do want attention, there’s nothing that breaks the ice more consistently and easy than chihuahua clothing on a little dog. Even as someone who thought it was ridiculous, small dogs wearing their funky fashion apparel was very hard to resist commenting on, either to my friend I was with or directly to the owner herself. There’s something about these little dog outfits for small dogs… they’re adorable, they’re cute, they’re cuddly–it’s INSANE!

So small dog fashion is everywhere these days, and even though it’s slowing down with the economy a bit, it’s still very much thriving. You’ll see the summer dog shirts for smaller dogs everywhere now as the chihuahuas and yorkies get out more and walk more on the streets now in the sunlight of the summer days and they shed the heavier dog costumes like the coats and sweaters in favor of the lighter shirts and summer fashion.

Anyway, I won’t go on and on: clearly you can tell I like chihuahua clothes! I’ll be buying my little dog some small dog shirts for this store here, and I’ll talk to you guys again soon! -Mikey
