| Things you got made fun of for buying So I am curious on things that yall have bought your babies and your family or friends have picked on you about or thought was stupid and then it ended up being a great thing? Everyone thought Callie's stroller was stupid but Callie freaks out if she is on the floor and there are crowds of people around her plus I get so scared about someone stepping on her. Well Callie loves her stroller will beg to get in it if its set up and it works great to hold water, food and other things and now that my mom has Sammy they both fit in there great together and no worries of anyone getting hurt when we go to big crowded pet expos. My dad even steals it from me and pushes it because he says they like it better when there moving lol. I was also told a rain coat was stupid but now that I have to take Callie out on a leash to go potty and we have had some pretty rainy days it has been great and fits her well so she stays dry and I stay dry with the umbrella and she will actually go poo because shes not getting wet. I sure there has been more lol.

| That was exactly my experience with many things. I got lots of eyerolls over the car seat until dad saw how it alleviated Max's anxiety in the car. The harnesses he thought were outrageous until he saw how well they fit and how easy they were for him to put on the dogs. Shampoo, conditioner, and anything grooming related -- now even dad has his favorites and tells me what to buy for the dogs.

| Pajamas......I get laughed at every single time I tell someone I bought Brandi a pair until explain about the type of hair she has and how cold she gets. Then they usually understand. |

| Honestly, nobody has really made fun of me for most stuff. Whenever people come in my car, there's the Snoozer dog seat, lol. I'll be the first one to speak up and laugh and say "that's my dogs seat! I got it for him after my really bad car accident" and then it's totally understandable to everyone. Ummmm... I've told very few people that I brush his teeth, because I probably WOULD get laughed at for it, but oh well. But it's just not something I'd bring up in normal convo. If someone asked me if I brushed my dogs teeth, I'd tell them, lol. But yeah, for the most part, nobody has ever really made fun of anything I've bought, that I can remember. Maybe secretly LOL! Oh well.

| Noone has really made any fun of me. They may smile,my SIL even rolled her eyes (then my DD worned her that it wasnt a very good idea). My DH asked why I got a stroller until we spent the day shopping and he didnt have to carry her. He didnt think that I would use the softside playpen,until I took it on vacation. The carseat stays in the stang and even the brothers use it. People ask "why I dress my dog" my response is simply "because I can". Now if she isnt atleast harnessed in, in the truck,my husband will remind me that she isnt safe. If we go out and the baby girl goes,my DH will take her for pottie walks because he doesnt want me walking her in the dark,,,fluffy dress and hair bow included. |

| Pretty much everything I've ever bought but I just laugh..."Yup...I've become that crazy lady with the dog". She's been such a joy to me that any ridicule is well worth it! :-) |

| We're not into dressing Our Andy. But after searching this site and seeing all of the Super Cute dogs here, I could never laugh at anyone for doing it. I've been searching peeps photo albums and it makes Me want another Yorkie so bad! I don't think that most people understand the amount of attachment You get from having a Yorkie in Your family? |

| I have not had anyone laugh at anything I've bought Brody or Mia. People seem to EXPECT them to be dressed up...and want to see them all dressed up. If people did think I was crazy, well, then I'd just fit right on into this crazy world, wouldn't I? - Cat |
