I thought I was alone in this. Ever since I was born I felt I was different. I never fitted in when I was at doggie school. I was picked on by all the other dogs for not licking my balls and for passing up a tin of pedigree chum for a pizza. Things really came to a head though when I decided I could no longer take a dump in public. While all the other dogs were squeezing one out in the park, I was at home, trying to raise my posteria over the toilet. I thought I was the only one like this, until I discovered this word "clothey". I was watching tv one day and there was a news article about a dog who wouldn't go out in public without a t shirt on. Suddenly I knew I wasn't alone and there was at least one other who understood. I decided to look on the interwebs to try and find like minded dogs. I found a whole myriad of dogs like me and they called themselves clotheys. Dogs who love putting on human clothes, strutting their stuff and forgetting that they don't have opposable thumbs or a tail. For the first time in my 42 doggie years I felt I belonged!

My first meet was interesting. I was nervous at first. I'd heard that some of the other clotheys can be a little gruff. But thankfully everyone was friendly. We started off down the park together, some of the clothes suits were awesome, from full T shirt and Jean get ups to one (Fido, AKA Big Dave) who wore a complete post man's outfit. I was a little under dressed at the time as all I had was a pair of sunglasses, but everyone welcomed me with open paws (Or should I say hands LOL). After we'd had some fun and frolics Big Dave invited me back to his place. He explained about all these different clotheys around the world. He told me all about the seedier side of the fandom. Apparently some clotheys like to "yessss" which means having sex in a clothes suit. It's called yesyes because supposidly that's the noise humans make when they do it. He also showed me some clothey art, They were such cute pictures, although some of it was yesssssy art which at first disturbed me.

The fandom has it's own words for many things, usually related to the real word for it or else it's the noise a human makes when they do it. A few examples

Scratching one another is called "alittlelowerthatsthebastardhellyesing"
Some clotheys have fantasies of working for a living. That's known as "bore"

Myself I consider to be a "clothes shifter" which basically means I feel I'm not a dog inside, I'm a human and I can metamorphasise between the two easily. Big Dave (who's now my partner) says he is Therithing. This means he feels he's got a spiritual connection with humans.

Like I say I've found myself finally and I love being a clothey.
