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!

i honestly couldnt care less if dressing my dog is subjecting me to "ridicule"
... the
possibility of ridicule has never stopped me from doing what i want--as long as im not
hurting anyone (something THOSE PEOPLE should start living by). The way I see it, as long as me and my dog are happy, who cares what they think? dressing up my dog makes her look even more adorable... and she enjoys it. its attention and
she thinks its fun and so do i! what i dont understand is why they would even care... its not like im trying to dress up
their dog.
