Even if I had a girl, I just don't do the dress thing. I think the babies look adorable in them for pictures and stuff. The other day at the dog park, a woman with her little yorkie placed a hat on his head and a shirt as they exited the park (it was like 80 degrees), I'm gonna be totally upfront and honest and say I laughed to myself... BUT I would NEVER say something to anybody and I keep my thoughts to myself! It's her life and her dog and I don't really care what she does with him.

Thank you. If I were ever to try to put a dress on my Yorkie (which I wouldn't out of personal preference, it's a dog, I wouldn't exactly dress up my cats), my husband would divorce me.

I don't judge anyone else who dresses their Yorkie in dresses.....but all of these comments on how other people are "just jealous". Come on now.

Jealous that you put a dress on your dog??????? No, the majority of dog owners find it completely ridiculous that other people put dogs in dresses.


Poppy has about 12 sweaters for when it is cold outside, and she wears the lighter ones in the inside when it is cold. I'm also all for that and for booties when it is snowing, out of necessity...and yes they are gosh darn adorable...but still a necessity.


But trust me, no one is "jealous" your dog is in a dress. I don't even know if I should say that...if it makes you feel better saying that, alright....but I think the feeling of superiority all of you are allowing yourselves to feel is the same feeling of superiority you are bashing in those that insult you. That is the point I am trying to get across here and if I offend anyone, I am sorry. I am happy you all find a little piece of happiness in dressing up your dog.


Live and let live.


No one is jealous that your dog has a dress on. There are a million reasons to be jealous of a Yorkie and Yorkie owner, but definitely not this.

This thread sinks as low as those who originally insulted that poor woman and her dog. I didn't want to offend but all the eye rolling, insulting and "jealousy...


Rise above it. I feel you are all better than getting so defensive over something you all know is socially not generally accepted. Do what makes you happy and don't give a hoot what other people think, but don't sink to their level......especially with "jealousy" remarks. That couldn't be further from the truth.


IF this thread wasn't meant to be as serious as it is coming across, I sincerely apologize, but it seems genuine and I didn't expect this type of thing.
