[Gracie2006]

Lately, I have been making it a point to dress up my girls when we go out for a walk. Gracie's hair is looking so beautiful in a top knot or pigtails, and I love having the girls in matching clothes. When we go to the park, most people smile and sometimes giggle and comment on how cute they are. Others just shake their heads, and some "daddies" respond to their child's inquisition with "that's so silly". And others just laugh in disbelief. Here at the beach, the economy is not great, most of the folk are simple, fishing industry types with bigger dogs that run off leash on the beach. We obviously don't fit in here, other than at the pet store that sells dog clothes. Do you care what other people think? When the comment is not so positive, do you have a come back or do you just stay quiet and be proud that you care enough about your babies to dress them and groom them? Do you ever feel offended by other people's comments?
