Maybe you should try another dictionary. I'm surprised that you don't know what it means to have couth.

People that can't afford them generally do the same. Unless they have the maturity of an 8 year old.........I don't know where you're getting your facts or theories on this.


"Naysayer that just don't have any "couth" "...that's not a word...sooooo I have no idea what you're talking about, but I assure you........the majority of the population thinks dogs in dresses looks stupid. 30-50 years ago were people dressing their dogs in dresses? No. Why? Because it was unheard of unless you were considered "crazy".

I tried not to put it that bluntly...but that is point blank the facts. I tried to get my point across nicely but those in denial will stay in denial.....and since it's not hurting anyone, whatever!


I have nothing against this, like I said....but those of you that are so defensive and want to "tell people off" need to realize that they ALREADY think you're nuts......and you are not changing any opinion. No one is jealous, I assure you and if they were, they would be OOOing and AAHing over your Yorkie.


Good Lord. I tried to get this across very nicely. And yes, I shall be a crazy Yorkie Mommy who will buy a birthday dress for my Poppy so by all means lump me into this because like I said, I see nothing wrong with it.

The last person that I read posting a complaint about this EXACT same thing was a teenager in a pet store, being rude. That is why I picked that for an example. As far as the rest of your post, I'm not going to bother reading it. Have a great day! I'm off to enjoy the sunshine with my yorkies in their dresses Hmm, maybe next, I'll buy them BIKINI'S and SUNGLASSES Imagine that!

Gotcha, thanks. I thought that it seemed out of character for you as I'm familiar with your posting. I look back now, and I read it wrong because I couldn't be bothered to finish reading the full post before yours. My apologies!

Many people who make nasty/rude remarks to others are jealous of something which is what causes them to make the nasty remarks. If they were perfectly happy and content with their life they would have no reason to go up and confront someone in public. The mere fact that someone in this thread mentioned that does not mean they have a feeling of superiority ... they were likely only trying to make the OP feel better.

Well, I heard the word "JEALOUSY" five times in this thread and I was floored. I just wanted to get my opinion out there, and even when I got it out there nicely, it still went on.

I tried to make the OP feel better too, but trying to make her understand why that may have happened...and it is very rude and ignorant but unfortunately I see many many threads here overreacting to this issue and this is the first time I've ever spoken up about it because everyone gets soooooo offended.

It is "superiority" when everyone tells her the people are "just jealous"...without telling her why exactly that would happen.

Just like every other thread where people don't seem to realize why that happens. I deal with the comments ALLLLLLLLL the time, trust me I do...and I hate it, with just sweaters and scarfs. Lord knows what I'd deal with if I were to put my Yorkie in a dress.

I didn't mean to offend the OP, I'm completely on her side!!


It's so viciously hard to get my point across here whenever I try to speak up about something, even when I'm in agreement with everyone...which I promise I am, just not on the "jealousy" part.





BTW, for some reason, YT is red-underlining the word "couth", I found that strange too and thought perhaps I didn't know the correct spelling of the word.

OOPS Looks like all posting at same time.

"Naysayer that just don't have any "couth" "...that's not a word...sooooo I have no idea what you're talking about, but I assure you........the majority of the population thinks dogs in dresses looks stupid. 30-50 years ago were people dressing their dogs in dresses?

Just for the record: this is a word: couth (usually uncountable; plural couths)

Social grace, sophistication; manners; refinement.
That man has no couth.

Whether or not some one is jealous or not, the fact remains that saying something derogatory to someone is just bad manners for what ever reason. I seldom dress my Gypsy in clothes, but I have had her bring me one of her dresses and stand in front of me so I can put it one her. My chi hates clothes and will wiggle right out of them. So I think Gypsy likes them.If I had Gypsy out in a dress or shirt and someone sd something then my hubby would def come to my defense.

I'm surprised what you don't know what it means to have manners and common sense. But hey, we're not all that lucky!

OH don't bother reading it, a little common sense and perspective might hurt you..... have fun pretending your dog is a human being, I'm sure the rest of society thinks that's cute.


Just ask them what they think! LOL!

Just because someone puts a dress or even sunglasses or a bikini (so need pics if you do that LilMissy! ) does not mean they think they are a human being.

We get that you are totally against the idea you have made it VERY CLEAR... however, I suggest you re-read the reply by "Britster" to see how to go about saying you wouldnt do it without offending large masses in the process... you have so far called people who dress their dogs, stupid and crazy even if you did it in an underhanded, sarcastic way.

In lots of your posts you complain that you are "bullied" on YT... maybe you should look at your delivery.

Um, name one , pal. ONE EXAMPLE!!! Please, I want you to! LOL



I think you have me confused with someone else.


"lots of posts"?!

I stood my ground in here for ONCE when I keep my mouth shut in every single post I post in, even when I disagree.


The only time I had a problem was when people were accusing me of knowing where Cookie was, which many many many people jumped to my defense telling people they were basically out of their mind. So get your facts straight.

Oh my gosh you're so clever!

Should have added in the part about your inane little dog outfits.

LOL! We aren't trendy enough for bikin's. I do enjoy the pics that other YT'ers have posted of their yorkies in swimwear though. So cute!

On a sidenote, I can't imagine thinking a dog was a human being. Last I checked, my 3 skinkids had two legs, not four...and they aren't 4 lbs and covered in hair I however don't see what the big deal is about dogs that are treated SO well that they have pretty clothes and get homecooked meals. I think a bigger concern should be the poor dogs that are mistreated and neglected. Those are the pet owners that are "NUTS" and deserving of such rude comments.

Rather than bantering back and forth, I'll just sit back and wait for the thread to be closed.
