Is dressing your dog so uncommon?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I get all kinds of comments, but usually people want to know what kind of dog it is, and then they make the comment that my Angel is smaller than their cat(s).

My neighbors get a kick out of it, and yes, the older neighbors probably think I have lost my mind.

Sadie has a car seat, and some people point at us when driving by, and some just smile, and then, there are those few who just look at me like I am a crazy woman.

Sadie also has boots, which she will wear without any problem, for when it snows, or the foundation gets too cold.
Oh boy, I cannot wait to see what people say then.

She also wears rhinestone collars and leashes. She is very feminine, and does not like rough housing at all.

I don't dress her up all the time, just when it is cold.

I know of one woman who puts earrings on her dog, but I will pass on that one. LOL

Kate - Who will also pass when it comes to painting their
toenails, and believe me, I saw it once.

I had Pita out yesterday, furniture shopping, (she loves that) and she had her Thanksgiving dress/harnness on, it's second nature to me to put things on her especially her harness dresses cuz then I hook her right into her console carseat and we're off.

More than once yesterday, people stopped me, as they always do when I have her out, and commented on her dress and how spoiled she was cuz I dressed her and you should have heard one lady when I said she had a carseat and the harness dress made it easier to hook her in! Pita has a lot of stuff and clothes, but I am keeping her safe and warm. She is obedience trained and plays outside and gets down and dirty like a regular dog, she also gets discipline and all that, so is that really spoiled?

Am I that weird??? On here it doesn't seem odd but in the general public people act like I'm off the wall for dressing her and taking her as many places as I can, etc.

Do you get these reactions from people or am I overeacting?[/QUOTE]

I paint my dogs toenail!!!

YorkieShadow · 11-21-2005, 06:26 PM

Yes I get that all the time. lol

Kate · 11-21-2005, 07:19 PM

Oh no, too funny.

How do you do it so the paint does not touch their hair?

What color do you usually use?

Maybe I should try this, just to give the neighbors something to talk about. Ha

It is very common in Thailand to put the dress on our doggies. I barely see dogs without clothes when they go out with their owners. Most of dog owners love to have their dog in fashion, especially small breed dogs

I bought clothes for Lacey all the time. She had a bright orange sweatshirt that said mama's dog that I loved to put on her. I never tried to take her into stores except for Petsmart. I was too scared of getting in trouble. Tried to take her in the gas station to pay for my gas and the lady working there yelled at me. And Petsmart only opened up in our town a year before she died. So, she only got to go in there twice. She hated riding in the buggy. So, I had to carry her. She did sleep in Sears with me after Hurricane Andrew hit our area. Long story that I told in a previous post.

We also used to own a chihihua. And I babied her as well. I was just a little kid when we had her. And I used to dress her up in dresses and bonnet that I had from my cabbage patch dolls. And push her around in a baby stroller just like she was a real baby.

I never take her out without even a shirt. I just want to protect her.
