| Strollers Why do some of us use strollers for our yorkies. This is just out of curiosity. |

| We use them at festivals..... and when taking long walks at the campground. It keeps them from being under foot in crowds and away from kids and big dogs with "behavior problems". It is also handy when your dog has had surgery (Shelby had LP) and can't walk for long periods of time.

| We use a stroller for Rio when we go shopping and we know it's going to be a long mall visit. It saves our arms from carrying her in her bag the entire time (even 3.1 lbs feels heavy after a while!) , and it also allows her to have a bit more freedom inside her stroller versus a little bag. We also found it makes it easier to sneak her into shops she's not allowed in - the employees usually assume it's a human baby inside, not our furbaby! |

| I normally only use Callies if we are going to an expo or an event where there are lots of people to keep Callie from getting steped on and it holds all my stuff and her stuff aswell. Shes also been I think picking up on my social anxiety and when we go out and there are lots of people she wants me to pick her up so this way I dont have to carry her.

| All of the above reasons and also to provide shade in hot weather. I love strollers!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I got one when my pom was old and couldn't go on walks with us any longer. I could put her and a yorkie or two in the stroller and walk one at the same time. Also when I take them to an event and don't want them on the ground.

| I use mine to know what and where my boys are and doing in a crowded area. Also provides an awesome place for them to relax while at an outdoor adventure when I get to chatting with people. I know they aren't bugging others around me. Also makes a great people magnent too lol

YT Addict | I'm not a fan of strollers, but it's personal preference. I'm not going to lie- I kind of roll my eyes when I see dogs in baby-look-a-like strollers. That, and those doggie high chairs... I think it's just going a bit too far, and this coming from someone who puts a coat and shoes on her dog! Even then it took me a bit to get use to that because I realised Derby really DID need to dress warmer in our cold climate. We put him in a backpack if he needs to go long distances, and it's also like a rolling suitcase if we don't want him weighing down our backs. |
