| i wanted to get a stroller for my 2 SO bad, last year when Bianca had her Legg Perthes and had trouble walking, and after when she was healing for months. She still now has trouble on cold days, she hops again and doesnt use that leg. Well, thats because of the arthritis that has set in because of the LCP. Anyhow, everytime I talked to someone about a stroller they laughed. They sais DOGS WALK, thats what they do, thats what they LIKE TO DO. While I agree, I am afraid to get one because people will laugh at me, and I dont want to deal with it, because I will go off. And I dont like feeling that way.

| I've had this happen too Usually they are giggling because they think it's so cute, and honestly some people think it's a novelty when they see a pretty little yorkie with clothes or a bow in. I think because in some areas it isn't seen much . I think Miss Tiffany is beautiful and they were just in awe of her gorgeous-ness! |

| I think some people just don't get it How much love our little fur kids bring to our lives...bow or no bow. I just wish they would keep their biased opinions to themselves. Smirking is just rude!! Hopefully being at Petsmart makes them an animal lover also...so why don't they save their hate for the people that abuse animals!

right after I got my stroller, my best friend and I drove to Austin for a weekend. We stopped in San Marcus for the day to go to the huge outlets before heading on to austin and our hotel. We had our two yorkies with us. It was so convenient to put them in the stroller and shop. Then the next day we walked all around downtown Austin...so much walking that I was so tired. There is no way Lacy could have walked that far. And since they were in the stroller, they even got to go in the capitol. I use my stroller at the mall a lot too because I take Lacy shopping with me. We also had an outdoor dog event here last fall and I had Lacy and Rylie with me. There were so many people and dogs that I didn't want them walking around. It was so nice to have the stroller to walk them around in. I also used my stroller at a dog show that I took Lacy too...much better than carrying her around all day. And she got to sleep in her stroller while we watched the show.

i agree!! ..thats what i was going to say-when people do this at petsmart, etc!! i REALLY don't get it!! whatever, though! we love our babies SOOOO much, just like you said-rude people can laugh all they want..ill make sure they feel dumb right afterwards too! (ps-im really not mean-haha! i just get really irritated when people are RUDE and inconsiderate!! im NOTHING but SUPER NICE to everyone, but if they are going to be that way to me..ill dish it right back-see how they like it! (i think thats another reason why i get so irritated...cuz i dont think there is any reason why i shouldnt be NICE to everyone-so when there is someone who is RUDE, B**CHY, Etc. for no reason!!..i get sooooo PO'd!! They just ruined my good mood, with their unhappiness!!(when nothing even happened, but a smile!!!!) When ignorant people mistake my friendliness for weakness..and become inconsiderate and rude, that's what really bugs me!!

| I have a stroller for my furbabies. I take Cookie most of the time with the stroller because he can't walk very far without limping .Honestly I don't care .When we go out to Palm Beach with the stroller I get sooooo many people stop us to " Ooh and ahhh" and say omg that's so cute ... I think I've only had one really negative experience. My husband was the one who actually heard a lady say something like " What the hell is that?" She had an expression on her face like it was something so disgusting and she was nodding her head . My husband got so pissed off! lol He talked really loud saying " She shouldn't be at Petsmart if she hates animals! I swear lik 99% is positive so that 1% negative doesn't bother me! Alot of time I don't make any eye contact with people who stop and stare because I don't know what they are going to say. Not because I'm stuck up but because I might say "Because I can dress him up,that's why" Or that's my problem ,so what ! lol Like I said it's very rare. Enjoy your furbaby,enjoy dressing them up,strollers and all. Genie,Cookie,Lola & Angel |

| Oh goodness Yes! Definitely laugh with them. It usually sparks a conversation about how cute your dog is and if not, it sure breaks the ice and what's there to be mad at anyway? You're the one who has the darling little furbaby, not them. They're just so suprised to see someone enjoying a little furfriend so much. |

I think that is awesome! There really is nowhere around here that lets us bring our pets in. It would be fun to take her shopping in her stroller though. (If we had one! lol)
