I personally don't care what other people think. When raising three daughters I got comments about how they were dressed too.( I loved to dress then all alike) It is not an age thing as in my twenties and now in my fifties I say the same thing " Is it a slow day for you and are you looking for people to be rude too? That gets them every time.

I have had people say " You have too many dogs" or "poor things don't they hate getting dressed?"

I have as many as I want and can afford and they are my kids not a fashion statement. My dogs also love to get dressed to go Bye Bye.

I think people can just be plain rude when it comes to dogs and kids sometimes. :mad:

I get it all the time about my boys so eventually I'll get used to it with my fuzzy boy. I agree, people are very rude at times.

I have an autistic nephew and my sister gets rude comments all the time about him, I just can't believe what people will say!

Anyways thanks for letting me vent today :)

I know this is off topic but I just have to say your avatar is adorable....

Ditto to these comments!

I had a women roll her eyes at me at the drive thru this morning because my little one was dressed up. But he was cold! I was wearing a coat, so was my daughter and so was he. The woman asked me if I thought my workplace would allow him to come with me bacause he was dressed up. I said "I work at home." and she rolled her eyes at me. I don't know why. I'm not trying to be trendy with my little "fashion dog", I just really love this breed and he does get cold! Honestly though, I really don't care what people think. I'm going to continue dressing him up and taking him places with me. Besides, none of it is for them, it's for me and he makes me happy and that's all that matters.

You rock Kathy!!! and your furbabies are lucky to have you!!!

My family is always on my back "oh, dont u think its a waste of money" or "dont u think u shud focus on having kids instead of those dogs?" or "you have gone nuts since you got those dogs" etc etc etc

You know what, I may have gone nuts since i got my furbabies, but its because I love them! And I dont care a hoot what ppl think!

I have never been into pets or dogs..i never had a pet as a child, and then a little while after i got married I saw the most beautiful thing in the world... a yorkie! I did almost two years of research and thinking it through and my entire world changed the day I brought Jaya home!

I don't care, and i am fed up with the comments! I feel like shouting that out to everyone who just doesnt understand! YES I wipe my dog's butt! YES i cook them better meals than I eat myself, YES they get their laundry done before i do my husbands! YES they get first dibs when i go shopping! and Damn well YES! I clean the house for them because I want them to be able to play in a safe and clean home! They are my babies, just as if they were children. I am raising them from babies. They are dependent on me for their well being, and they love me just as a child loves their parents (realistically, a child has selfish love, and a yorkie is completely giving! U will never be greated by anyone like u are by your furbaby!)



......................err...just had to get that off my chest since we're all sharing our frustrations haha...

thank you everyone for being here and understanding and sharing what i feel for my pups!!!!!

and just to add!!! You should have heard the comments from my family and friends (none of them have yorkies) when my husband and I brought home Jenna.

grrr...... SO frustrating! That is why I did not bother telling anyone I was considering getting another yorkie.... just brought her home, and it was a surprise for anyone who happened to drop by.

no and i dont care if anyone does judge me they dont pay my bills i dont care what they think!

hahahaha that is AWESOME!!!!! I love it. You just made my day! :D

I have felt that people look at me different and to be honest I used to look at people like me the same way. I am a new yorkie owner and before I got her (lily) I would see those people with their little dogs and think what is the point. WOW was I wrong I got my girl kind of unexpectedly and now she is the love of my life and I realize that most of those cloths we put on them have a purpose and are not to make a statement and that they are great companion not just an accessory. I feel bad at the way I would look at people before I understood the little dog world. I had a guy the other day yell at me and my lily when we left the pet store because she had a coat on he said i was being cruel and made me feel horrible, but if I took her coat off she would have shook to death it was like 20 outside.

Those are exactly the type of comments that irritate me. If we lived in a Northern State, my baby would have TONS of coats and stuff!

(((hugs)))

I 'm with you, I don't care a figs worth what people say; but I really think I get more good comments than bad. My husband has a classic remark he uses when people stare at Sawyer and say things like "Isn't He the cutest thing?' My husband always says, Thank you, and isn't my yorkie cute too?;)

That's great good for you, I totally agree. Rock on:D
