LOL!

I was thinking of a funny comeback - and I'm never good with these on the spot. But it would have been hilarious if you could have looked at her shocked and disgusted....."Whattttt? YOU let your dogs go NAKED? **gasp** I should have guessed though, by the way you dress your son!"

I feel like I have my hands full. My sons just started school so I have two sleepy kids that don't want to go to school with back packs and all. I probably will start taking atleast one soon, and she will have a pretty harness on.

P.s. If anyone in my family or my friends is reading this - take it as a hint that I just go to your demonstrations for FREE FOOD and DRINKS. Thanks!

Me too! I signed up to sell Cookie Lee and I refuse to have parties, I just give my discount to all my friends and family, that ticks off other sellers but oh well. I hate pushy people and I hate parties!

You're not still in business because people think it's weird- this is a huge industry and you've been resourceful and creative enough to know a good thing when you see it. I love candles, but come on, how many people enter your home and just HAVE to know where you got that candle?! Has anyone told you how cute a candle looks or asked to take a picture with a candle? Who is in the more exciting industry?! Also, you could mention the fact that it's obviously quite a popular industry because you don't need to beg people to buy your clothes- they sell themselves. Isn't she the one pestering everyone so that she can make a living?!

Be proud- girl, your stuff is great! When people are in the craft store and ask what you're making, tell them: "Dog apparel for my internet business. I'm so busy right now I can hardly see straight! Would you like a card?" and hand them a business card.

Who the he** cares what people think about your career. You get to wake up every morning and earn a living by doing what you love. Believe me when I tell you that I, among millions of other people, am jealous of that fact alone!

Susan, I could not have said it better. Be proud and don't lower yourself to her
level. I bet you never had to beg. I'm new but if you made the darling little
dress on your pup, you are a very creative person doing beautiful work. Pouring
a candle in a mold ??? Woopey!! In a way I'm glad you didn't say anything. Like
you say, you do have to see her every day. Some day you could ask her how
her business is doing and I would mention how well yours is doing (Susans reply
is perfect) Geeee it's a billion dollar business; is she living in a cave. Your busy
business gives you the perfect reason NOT TO SELL CANDLES OR EVEN GO TO
A PARTY. You are a lovely person I'm sure, so put that woman out of your head.

You are so funny. You have to keep a sense of humor so these nutty people don't
get to you.

Deegan's mom · 08-04-2005, 04:01 PM

She's obviously not a dog lover! And who cares what she thinks - you make good money doing it and you enjoy it and people love that you can do it (because some of us can't)!

I like what a few of the other girls have said...
"I can make them in larger sizes" or
"these dogs are better dressed than you are" or
"I don't have to hound my friends about having parties they don't want to host" etc.

Tons of good points!
Don't let her make you feel bad, make her feel bad!

Why would anyone go to a candle demonstration?

Ever since my mom trusted me with fire at like age 8 I've been pretty good at it. Thats 20 years of advanced candle burning skills under my belt.

Instead what we need is a little yorkie fashion show. Heck I'd PAY to go see all those cuties struttin thier stuff.

Thank you for your comments. Actually I think you may have bought from Shana at Tinkerbell's CLoset. Some of our items are similar, I didn't want to take credit for her work. I appreciate it though.

LOL! Yeah, I think I can light a candle all by myself too.

That's so silly

. Don't worry about her. You just carry your lil' yorkie, dressed it the best outfits and hold your head high!!

I dress my Yorkie all the time (well in the winter - I live in CA and its over 100 now

).

I think most people get a kick out of seeing the little dogs dressed up. She is still stuck in candle world. That is so pass-a (sp). I have even heard of doggie parties where they sell clothes and items for dogs.
