I agree. No reason to be rude to anyone on here, We are ALL on here for one reason " The love of Yorkies". You can of course express your opinion but no need to be rude to someone who was coming on here with no cruel intentions!

Well, that's never happened again. Since then, I received a doctor's note designating Tatiana to be my emotional support/service animal. She can accompany me to all places. I always have her in a purse-pet-carrier. Incidentally, Tatiana is tiny. She's about 3-lbs, and her carrier is size extra small. She's always been quiet, well-behaved, and in my complete control.

I also have that on 2 of my dogs. I don't carry them though. They have a service dog vest with patches and I have these buisness cards to hand out . Even with all these things I choose to keep them home .I have one dog for me and the other is for my son.. i just find it a chalenge to go anywhere with a dog to have to care for at the same time.
In regards in taking your dog everywhere with you I think it is ok as long as the store is pet friendly. If it is not then I rather not go there with my dog and avoid any hassels.

Sneaking a dog in a store where there not allowed is about more than breaking the rules, its about having a complete disrequard of everyone in the store and management of the store. If a dog were found in there from the health board they would be fined not to mention if someone with allergies were in there how it would affect them, They have just as m uch right to shop in peace as the person who snuck the dog in, There is no reason why the dog cant be left at home

[chachi]

Honestly why should someone have to kick you out of a store we are all adults here and know right from wrong right?

Pnut has been a lot of places! He has been to, Walmart, Target, Big Lots, CVS, Walgreens, Home Depot, Lowe, Hooters... Uhh and a strip club that his Daddy took him to when he was about 5 months old! ( I was at work by the way, I did not know this was taking place!)

Have fun with your little guy, and I agree I would love to see a pic of him, he sounds really cute!!

LOL too cute...I would be jealous cause my hubby didn't take me!

Her "sneaky" comment seemed innocent and playful to me; and I agree, a bit "tongue in cheek".

What seems the most immature and selfish to me is for any of us here on YT to attack, belittle or condescend to anyone, much less a brand new person. We all have opinions and, in my opinion, they can be stated without being unkind. We have a lot we can teach each other...on every level.

I surely hope that YT doesn't get the reputation for this type of response and thread. For what it's worth, they make me feel discouraged and bring me down, and I know I'm not alone.

I'm sorry, OP. I hope you enjoy YT for a long time to come.

A while back there was a few threads about how rude some members are.
The definition of "rude" was posted and a few "rude" comments were made.
It died down, it won't change.. people are what and who they are. It takes effort to change. I will even say I may have been viewed as rude at times... and I really don't think I was.

So.... we each have to ask ourselves how we want to be viewed or remembered. If someone is rude or blunt to you.. just past it over!!
Maybe they are having a bad day or they are very passionate about the subject or they totally misunderstood you. What battles are worth fighting?

I am speaking to myself here too. And... the subject of taking a dog in the store is just not worth loosing friends over

Now.. lets talk re-homing... lol just kidding!

Hah!! Rehoming, dogs in stores, and what classifies a dog food as good. Are the religion, politics, and marital status conversations of the Yt world.

Just because some of us don't take our dogs everywhere doesn't mean we don't want them with us. I'd love to be able to take my dogs to college classes with me. What's the difference between that and a store? But it doesn't work that way in most places.

To me, the bottom line is that if you aren't sure that they are allowed, just ask first. Out of respect for business owners and other shoppers, I do not take my dog with me. I'm sure she would make shopping and banking much more fun, but if the owner doesn't want them there, then I don't see how it is fair for me to ignore that and do it anyway.

If you "need" your dog with you for whatever reason, that is between you and your physician/ophtha/psychiatrist, etc. That is completely different than taking them just because.

Ellie loves to go on errands with us. Doesn't mean she has to get her way. And JMHO, not training a dog to be alone sometimes can very negatively affect the dog later. They need to learn how to be independent.

IMO, if you think you have to conceal them in a carrier so the manager won't notice, then that is a good clue as to if they should go in or not.

I just don't get it. When ever any topic is controversial, there's always someone who cries "don't be rude". If everyone had the same opinion about everything, there wouldn't be any reason to have a place like YT.

No one can "read" tone. We interpret the written word through our own filters. What one person says is rude, someone else will view as blunt and another person will view as common sense and dead on.

So before you start wagging your finger at someone and calling them rude, please remember that by saying that, someone else may consider you to be just as rude.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I think ppl are referring to the poster who called the OP "immature and selfish" (maybe I shouldn't be speaking to others, but that's who I thought was over the line). I think we all have different opinions and that makes YT fun and interesting; however, when someone takes it to name-calling (especially over taking yorkies in a carrier into a store) it has reached a level that is completely unnecessary. I noticed this is a new member and perhaps they did not know personal attacks are a no no.

I also think there was a lot of "finger-wagging" towards the OP taking her pup into a store. With all the upsetting scenerios we see here on YT: ppl breeding 2 lb dogs w/o vet assistance, animal abuse, ppl w abhorable breeding practices, pups not receiving proper medical care, etc., I really think dogs in stores in carriers is "not worth losing friends over" (Lil Sis). Personally, I don't take mine anywhere she is not allowed, but if someone does, it really is not the worst thing I have ever witnessed with my eyes (wish it was).

Dallas is pretty pet friendly, you can take your dog to a lot of places

She didn't call the OP selfish and immature, she said the behavior was.

So please, explain to me once again how it's not ok for DJDB to say that something or someone is selfish and immature, but it's ok for others to say her post is rude? That seems to be a double standard to me.

I fully agree that there are lots of things to be upset about here on YT, but that doesn't mean that people should ONLY be upset about the worst of the worst. How people behave with their dogs in public ends up affecting all dog owners for better or worse.
