Sometimes it's just a slow news day. From the April 20, 1910 News-Miner:

SKIRT SUITED HIM PERFECTLY

Malamute Chose a Beautiful Silk Skirt at Simson Brothers.

MATCHES HIS COMPLEXION

Was Reposing on One of the Latest Importations From Outside.

Members of the firm of Simson Bros. have this week been the recipients of several queries as to the reason of their unusual care for the comfort of their dog; and this merely because the poor animal was cold the other day. On Sunday morning the large malamute which they left in the store over night evidently decided that one of the large south windows fronting on Second Avenue, where are displayed the ladies' furnishings, would be about the proper place to sun himself. Accordingly he climbed into the window, and selecting a fine silk skirt that matched his complexion he pulled it down, and making himself a neat nest went peacefully to sleep, forming such a decoration as rarely graces the window of a dry goods store.
