I own an 8 pound Yorkie, and a 1.7 pound Maltese.

For obvious reasons,...I find it extremely easier to bring my Maltese out when I go out shopping. I can easily carry her w/ one hand.

On the other hand, I find it easier to bring my Yorkie when I go to the park and go jogging. He runs along w/ me.

Are there times when I bring both out w/ me? Yes. But there are times when I brought one and not the other. I have also left them both at home.

So is my Maltese a fashion accessory? No, because I bring her out to get a breath of fresh air, help her w/ socialization, and give her exercise. Her mellow and laid back personality make her easy to travel with.

Is my Yorkie a fashion accessory? No, because I bring him out for exercise and socialization. His high energy level and desire for attention make him not a good candidate to travel with, as he is easily distracted and a bit hard to control when strangers want to randomly come up and pet him. Given his size, I can't hold him w/ just a single hand and at times, I have to restrain him using both my hands.

Want to see an example of Paris' schedule? Go to wireimage.com. Enter "Paris Hilon" as the search criteria. You'll be able to pull up photos of various events that she is at. It'll also show the date, as well as the location. Take note of her schedule and maybe you'll understand.

I'll just stop here...Paris can do what she wants so long as she isn't harming her animals.
