The forecast is for rain. It's time to dress your dogs up in their winter best. Southern California weather doesn't give you many excuses to make your dogs look this cute—so take advantage when you can.

Here is a collection of photos of pets we received after an earlier call upon our readers to share their photos of dogs in their winter gear. Feel free to send more, too.

What's next? How about sending along your photos of dogs dressed up for an outing? What does your dog wear when going out on the town?

Send your photos to animalwrites@ariel.net
