I think Yorkie owners are so much more sensitive because people like "big" dogs... my mom says Layla is hardly a dog.. lol. she says it with love
but you woudldn't dare see someone make a comment about a great dane but it's almost because our dogs are so small it's ok to make "funny"remarks.. i'm a new Yorkie owner so i'm gonna try and get tougher
i also live in a small city.. in places like NYC (visited this past may... LOVED IT!! can't wait to go back) there are stores just for dog clothes.. here in Sault STe marie.. lol.. not so much!
