Some to local stores that know us personally and are pet friendly stores. Some of us when we go to places that we know do not allow dogs, don't take them.
As for why ppl would pick a dog and not adopt a child if they could not have children, some of us have diseases that are very serious. We have managed to survive them, have some semblance (sp) of a lifespan and life; however, child adoption agencies are not going to give us children to raise. Some of us must come to the acceptance that these are the cards we have been dealt and get a small dog to fill that void, as best can be w an animal.
I really think this thread is descending into something that is really quite ugly. I don't think it needs to be this heated or personal over someone venting bc she thought the clerk was not very polite when asking her to leave a store she usually frequents w her pet. I don't know if the clerk meant to be rude - I am not her nor was I there. Hopefully, if the OP knew her dog was not allowed she would not have taken her in there. |
Agreed!

I often travel with mine and they are obviously in a carrier for those trips- as required by the airline- I actually HATE when people notice I have a dog in the carrier- I much prefer when I pull the dog out of the carrier at baggage claim and people start commenting that they never noticed I had the dog. I hate that people want to ask a million questions and ask to see the dogs, etc.
I actually find it hilarious when people who have yorkies act like people who have yorkies are all stuck up, show off-y people- if all you want to do is complain about people who own yorkies- both on this site and on other sites- why own them? I am not going to hide my dogs away and never take them anywhere with me because someone might think that having a yorkie with me is a way to show off- I don't apologize for the breed I own.
Also- don't feel bad for people who don't have kids- not everyone wants them.
