But to go out in public and subject yourself to people who don't understand, the answer is a big NO!

I know that dogs sense when people don't understand and are being made fun of. Because that's just the way dogs are. They sense things. Why subject them to negative feelings from other people who don't understand.

Yorkies are too special to confuse them.

P.S. Just for the record, I have a pet stroller because when I walk too far my little one gets tired so in he goes. People don't say anything because they don't know he's in there. Some do and I tell them "you carry him back." They shut up! My other Yorkie never get tired but if it's too hot, in he goes, too.

You will get negative feedback no matter what you do! My dogs wear boots because their feet get irritated from allergies. And I do get comments! Like, "do they have boots on?!" Yes, I say, and they ask Why? Because their little feet get sore and hot and whatever. Take your shoes off and walk and see how you feel! That usually shuts them up!

But dressing them up as you do, no way! You are exposing yourself to ridicule and making pet merchandisers rich! Except for coats and boots! Amen!

Love,

Lauren

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE dog apparel...I own over 150 outfits for my dogs, mostly adorable dresses. I don't care what others think. I enjoy it, my dogs enjoy it...so that's all that matters. My boy used to dislike it at first, but he's realized quickly that brushing and getting dressed is attention for him and now he comes over to me like "it's my turn!" when we are getting ready. They love the attention they get from their adorable outfits. It's way too hot here for coats, and they hate shoes (although we've put them on for pictures before). But they like their cute shirts, dresses, and hair accessories.
