Just thought of one more thing- sorry I'm on a role
. This type of topic tends to to take a bad turn when someone mentions Paris Hilton, dogs as accessories, etc. Someone who would frequent a forum based on their dog's breed and be an active participant on that board because they love talking about their dog and love reading about other people's dogs obviously love their dog. I seriously doubt there are any Paris wanna be's on this board that stick around. Those of us who have little yorkies and despise the type of person who uses them as accessories understandably get a little sensitive when this comes up.
