I don't think anyone has been bashed here (at least not personally). If we start a controversial thread - or if we even post our opinions on these threads - we are going to get a lot of responses back that just flat out don't agree with us.
BabyFiggette seems to be on one side of this issue with a lot of people agreeing with her - I hold the opposite opinion and a lot of people feel as I do.
Please - when threads get this long - we can't expect people to read every word. I have noticed a few responders misinterpreting a few statements I made also. At this point, I would expect this.
People should feel free to disagree with one another - and will occasionally misinterpret what others have said. This happens - especially on such long threads.
It has been interesting hearing everyone's thoughts on this issue. And, I would suspect that in the end, many of us are not 100% on one side or 100% on the other.
I have actually found myself becoming less stringent on this issue, in some ways, because of the things that many of you have said. I admit there are emergencies, and times when we have to take our puppys in a public building with us. And, I have learned from some of you that a lot of businesses don't care if you bring your puppy in with you.
It's been interesting!!! I hope no one really feels offended. This is a public forum - made up of a lot of different people with a lot of different ideas. We all love our little Yorkies (and other pets) and are here to share experiences, ideas, and opinions. I, for one, occasionally modify or change my opinion on an issue because of what some of the rest of you say here on YT. W have a lot of intelligent and good people here - and everyone's opinion counts!
