I would have spoken with the manager, if I could control my attitude with her. I'm really good at sarcasm...but usually after the fact. A lot of little dogs are more comfortable wearing a layer more than their fur provides to keep them warmer. In my climate my house gets really cold. If I'm just in a sweater and Rizzo doesn't seem bothered I wont put anything on him, but if he starts shaking or digging up under my blanket (or trying to climb into my sweater) I'll toss a sweater or a shirt on him and he just seems to be more comfortable that way. Though it is hard to find a shirt/sweater that can fit his length...maybe I should look at clothes for dachshunds
You had every right to take advantage of that awesome sale without being berated about providing your pup with another level of comfort. Bet she doesn't think twice when she sees people buying choke chains for their dogs.
