| Honestly a long time ago I learned not to give a darn what other ppl thought in regarding my dogs. In my lifetime I've caught crap b/c I didn't have a purebred.. b/c I had purebred (although I rescued her, some ppl never believed it).. b/c I dressed my dogsn up.. etc. I just learned not to give a darn. They are my dogs, and I love them with all my heart. I work HARD for my money and if i want to spend it dressing my dogs then whose business is it? mine.

| I would be offended....These guys are our Kids and no one would allow another being to comment or make snide remarks about the children so why should we allow it for our dogs...SAY SOMETHING. I would be a smart alec and if they had kids with them I would be a bigger one....."At least I love my babies enough to have them look their best....which is more than what I can say about yours" that may get them to shut up. |

You can have your reasons as to why your yorkies needs boots and a stroller, we'll have our reasons as to why our dog needs clothes. My girl is 3lbs, and doesn't have hair. The vet has told me to always keep something on her, it can be 70* and if she's outside in the shade she gets chilly! So should I make her freeze just because some random person we encounter on our walk will think she looks silly? My boy, he does have hair and is a little bit bigger, but he LOVES clothes, and he doesn't feel right walking around naked while everyone else (me, my fiance, and my girl) are all clothed! Would you want to walk around naked while everyone else is clothed? I don't think so. And unless it's cold outside, my babies really don't need boots, but maybe yours does? Each yorkie is different. A stroller? Someone can easily shoot back at you "why can't the dog walk?" I don't have anything against boots or strollers, I'm just reminding you that even things you find practical, others may not, but that doesn't give anyone a right to make rude comments about what we do for our babies, rather that be a tank top, a cute holiday dress, or a stroller. So I'll keep going out in public with them, WITH their clothes on! You have your reasons as to why you use items that aren't a norm for most dogs, so let us on here have reasons to dress our babies! One more thing I just wanted to say while on were on this whole topic, I'm sure all of our yorkies are dressed better than these people who feel the need to make rude comments about dogs in clothes!

| Well Yt'ers here's my take on it. Premise: Not every one who owns a dog dresses them in clothing. Correct statement????? So when you do and you are out in public, you are doing something out of the norm. Therefore it is sort of an oddity that might elicit unwelcome or unsolicited responses. The fact that it is "just a dog", makes some people feel it is ok to express their opinion about your dog's fashion, after all, it won't know what they are saying, so you can't hurt it's feelings. But they have no clue into the heart of the owner of a yorkie. Do they think that the mere fact that you took the time and money to dress your baby might be a clue that you on the other side of the leash have some feelings???? Or do they even care??? I say people who would make an oral comment of any kind that they might even THINK would hurt someone's feelings are just crude.... and if you think the comments they make about your baby is out of line...you should be privy to some of their other "opinions" in life.
