Dollydog or Dollybird

I have always detested dressed up doggys but in a bid not to turn on the heating too soon I have got my dog a knitted top and asked a friend if she'd be able to make another. My other friend said dogs dont need coats, but I think they are living in the warm with us and they feel just as chill when the cold air hits them too, just as we do, Battersea put them on short haired doggys so mine is having a winter wooly.
So have i really become a Dollybird or am I being practical? We already had the outdoor coats. We gonna put on extra clothes this year.
