Irritated Does anyone get the feeling people judge you for holding your small dog? Like it's supposed to be a fashion statement when you go out with your dog? I took Guinnie out yesterday and I had just taken a shower, my hair was wet, I had on my jeans, tshirt and tennis shoes. I just grabbed him, his Pooh blanket and we took off. It sorta irritates me that these dogs are considered part of a fashion statement, do any of you get those weird vibes in public? |
I didn't intend for my post to sound so cold, using 'dog' instead of puppy or lil man. I'm just irritated by some of the people I ran into yesterday. I saw a couple with their small daughters and they let the older one hold their little puppy. I don't ever let my sons pick up Guinnie! I saw a woman with her toddler little girl at my clinic with a chihuahua in a little purse, it was chilly out, no blanket no sweater, and the little girl dropped the purse on the floor wiht hte doggie inside and ran off. I wanted to grab the bag and take off but someone else picked it up and handed it back to the mom of the little girl. It was so sad :( |
When we go out with carlos I always put him in a sweater and take his blanket. He is my child and I will hold him and dress him as he was a baby. My sister inlaw criticized me when I got him she said I just wanted a dog to put in my purse. |

I have to say though that anytime I see something that in my head doesn't seem practical, it makes no sense to me and makes me shake my head in wonder sometimes. Carrying your dog with you everywhere to me fits into this category...along with things like wearing heels to theme parks, or Sunday dresses to football games.... |
I guess I'm at that age where I don't care what people think. Family, friends and everyone at my vet clinic know how much I love my babies. And yes I have gotten stares on more than one occasion but doesn't bother me at all. I would take them everywhere if I could.:animal-pa |

i am at the point where i dont really care what they think..i am a good mommy to my girls and i give them the best so i know i don't treat them like the accessories and people that know me know that. Like Cindy said i just said have a great day because I know i am cuz i am loved by my babies! |

:yelrotflm Yep, my image of you is pretty accurate!:D I don't care either what people say. I'm not going to let poopy people ruin my days just cause they live differently. I'm not running for a popularity contest anyway....:rolleyes: |

I'm not letting it ruin my day, it was just irritating, that's all. I need to come up with some looks of my own to throw ;) LOL When he gets his stash of bows and shirts, I'm gonna need them ;) |
At my age and the way I dress I doubt that anyone believes I am trying to make a fashion statement. Most people break out in a big smile and when I catch their eyes I just laugh and say, "I assume that big grin is directed at my little girl, not me." I have never been one that likes attention and I know that isn't why I have this little dog. She is my dear friend, my baby, and I LOVE her in my life. The more the better. If her being with me bothers anyone, too bad...their loss. |
If they don't want to hold their dog that is their perrogative. I don't care what people think and if they were stupid enough to comment they would be sorry. I hate busy bodies don't you? I buy Jambo plenty of toys, best beds, cutest clothes etc. I bought him the most luxurious cashmere sweater a month ago and I just got a lot of envious looks. Of course no one knows how much I paid for it but I am proud that my baby looks as pampered as he is. I don't get him all the stuff I do because I consider him an accessory. I love my baby and want him to have the best. |

Ignorant People!! I was at the mall with "My Girls" and of course they were dressed up, I on the other hand had on sweats.:o I was carrying Bailey (4 lb), loosely wrapped in her pink blanket cuz she likes it. Maggie was walking next to me with her sweater on. I hear this man say, "What does she think they are, her kids!" I turned to him and his friend and said "They Are, and if you don't like it you can kiss my A_ _." Their jaws dropped, cuz I look like a sweet ole gramma, which I normally am! :D I guess I just had enough of the stares and whispers that day:rolleyes: Am I Bad:confused: Kathy & :aimeeyork :aimeeyork |
