Do you take your yorkie everywhere you go,,,

[MyDearSam]

It's scary being the parent of a little one these days. Sarah is 3 and would test the patience of a saint. I have snatched her up and literally run out of stores and restaurants with her - wishing I could sink through the floor the whole time. I've wanted to dust her backside but good - but too afraid to do anything for fear of someone calling the police on me!

Which is another reason for Sam to have to stay home - I'd have to be an octopus to keep up with both of them!

[CouversMom]

I take my two everywhere. They would rather be with me than at home. At times we have to leave them home, and they pout. They both love being in the bag and most of the time, people don't even know we have dogs with us.

That lady was rude and I'm glad you spoke up. I would love to have seen that

I've had quite a few people make negative comments to me about my dog's clothes too.
She loved dressing up, if you took her clothes off she'd act abused. When she got dressed she'd help you put the outfit on and then prance around. She even knew what a costume was, if I got dressed up without her she'd get upset.

I haven't dressed Lola yet, but I want her to like clothes and being carried in a purse.
I'm afraid I'm really going to have people comment when I'm alone with her because most people think I'm 16-18 years old.

It is tough! My kids are grown. My yongest is 17. They were good when they were younger. It's the teenage years that was bad! Too big for a good spanking but not too old to take away their favorite things,,, cell phones, iPods and computer!

The last time I took Tibbe into a store with me a week or so ago, a little boy came up from behind suddenly and grabbed his little leg out of the blue! Scared me to death and that young child with my tiny little dog's little leg in his closed hand was dangerous. I was able to get his hand off Tibbe's leg before he yanked it or anything but he was pulling outward on it and I decided after that that I probably won't ever take Tibbe in a store again without his being in a carrier. I don't know if the boy was special needs or something but anything can happen when you take them into public places in your arms as I did. Something to think about.

We take our three with us almost all the time! They do not get left behind because not only would they be sad but I love to be with them. I don't "show" them off but if asked, I do proudly let people see them and answer questions. We are quite a spectacle when we go out with the three of them!

As far as the rude women goes.....she obviously doesn't have a yorkie and doesn't understand the love we have for them. Beside she was probably stressed out by her kid making such a fuss and embarrassing her! Jealous of your quite little one compared to her wild child!

I have taken my baby with me to lots of places. He enjoys it and is well behaved. He gets in his bag when he sees that I'm getting ready to leave. I don't see why people make a big fuss especially if you wouldn't have even noticed that the dog was there. Good for you for putting her in her place.

Where was the parent(s)? If he was special needs, I would think the parents would watch him more carefully... Anyway, after reading your post, I'm sort of glad Zoey prefers being carried in the doggy backpack. I don't usually take them out to public places other than my work and petsmart but when I do, I tend to keep my eyes on Magnus.

I've been fortunate so far not to meet anyone rude. I (more Zoey) seem to get quite the attention since I carry her in the doggy backpack. People usually ask why she doesn't walk along with Magnus. Generally, everyone thinks it's really cute.

OMG I would have freaked! I'm so glad little Tibbe was ok after that. Leiloni was in her bag the whole time. The lady wouldn't have even known she was there if it weren't for the cashier asking to see her dress. One time we were at a car show and I had Gus in his stroller and some kid came up to him trying to unzip the stroller trying to let him out. All I said was no no and his mother quickly apologized, got him by the hand and took him away.

The nerve of that lady to say what she did...and...after her child throws a tantrum fit in the store! I don't blame you for calling her a snot nosed brat. That was not half as bad as what she said to you. She needed to be told off and I say, "way to go!"

[lexi43]

Did you ever shop at Toys R Us at Christmas time. You want to see temper tantrums this is the place to be. There should be shops that don't allow kids in it. Anyway I wish I could take my dogs with me but they are kind of too big for a bag.

[Dukie Baby]

I take Cooper with me and he stays in his carrier and looks out at everyone and no one even knows he's in there. His carrier is large enough for him to stand and turn around, and he is perfectly content to run errands with me.

That woman was rude, and obviously she was never taught that if she doesn't have anything nice to say, she shouldn't say anything at all.

[Fritz n Sophie]

When Fritz was younger I took him with me most of the time. But as he got older he didn't enjoy going and he would get to hot in the carrier (even though its mesh on 3 sides). I also tried to dress him but he would fight me tooth and nail. He loves the naked life!
Sophie loves to go everywhere with me and doesn't mind the carrier or clothes at all. I hope she stays this way. I think Fritz likes his time at home with his daddy alone.

I love that bag! Do you mind me asking where you got it? Pleeese
