Sorry if I seem crabby about this but I'm disabled and may need a therapy dog in the future. It's not funny to need one and certainly not a joke.

I totally agree with your post. its the same as if you didnt like a bull dog or some other dog in your house and a guest brought one in anyway and you had to ask them to leave. I love my yorkie but I still realize he is a dog, and not a child. Stores cant very well say dogs allowed but only yorkies. If the sign says no dogs allowed, then leave your dog at home or go back another time without the dog if you really need to go to that store for something. To me people make too big a deal about yorkies. Anyone who has a dog, their dog is just as special to them and I for one dont want to go in a store and walk around with boxers, german shepherd, etc all around because I am scared of big dog and so are a lot of others and some people just dont care for dogs, yorkies or not. Not trying to offend anyone here but its just my take on the subject. rules are rules and their for reasons. if your dog is welcome that is good but I dont want other people bringing certain dogs in my house, matter of fact i'm not thrilled with anyone bringing any dog in my house against my will. Dogs need love and attention from its owners but not from everyone else just because their cute. And everyone knows the dogs arent brought into their stores to shop, since they have no idea why they are their even there themselves. Sorry if this offends anyone. its just my opinion like everyone else has their.

I have had no problem taking either of our kids anywhere, we go to the grocery store with them, mall, Home Depo, Target, and I know Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-mart and only shop there once or twice a year, but in over a year, no one has EVER told us we couldn't be in the store with our dogs. Wal-Mart sucks anyway.

I agree, yorkies are no different from any other dog, to certain owners they may be though. I've always had boxers, and the way people on here show their love their yorkies is how much I've loved all of my dogs. Dogs are fine to be left at home, no matter who wants to disagree with me. Everytime I leave my dogs try to follow me out the door, and they run up to the window where my car is and give me the sad puppy look as I pull away. And when I come home you would think I was gone for years vs a couple of hours or a whole day at work. The dogs will be fine though, they can be left at home. Even my dog now, when he was a puppy he would play games and do things on purpose to get me to stay longer (I.E, make a mess in the house so I had to clean it up, right before I walk out the door, so I would be there longer) This went on and on forever. But it goes to showing whose the master and whose not. No dog is going to get suicidal (sp?) if they are left at home for awhile.

Look out for poopy or pee pee paws!

Dan is absolutely right! I LOVE THE FRITOS SMELL! I have to admit, I am a "closet" yorkie foot sniffer --

I kinda check them out first, I don't like poopy-pee-paws

Mikey, Baxter looks right at home in his boy-bag! Love it! I am sorry you got "busted".

I agree with a lot of what some of you have said. I agree with - I love my Yorkie, but I have loved every other dog I have ever had just as much. Yorkies are special for all of us who have them -- but other people's dogs are just as loveable and important to them. And remember -- a lot of us have other dogs besides yorkies that we are just as fond of. I do.

I feel sorry for those of you who get separation anxiety whenever you can't take your little pups with you --- but it is totally irresponsible to take them where they aren't allowed. You can talk until you're blue in the face and rationalize as much as you want - but deliberately "breaking rules and regulations" isn't something that grown up, honest, law-abiding adults do. What kind of an example are we setting for our children when we do things like this?

**** I don't want the stores I shop at full of dogs.... all shapes, sizes, and temperments.....and all the accidents they might cause.....Yorkies no exception - a lot of you have admitted here that your little Yorkies have bitten people in stores - and have gone to the bathroom in stores also.
These are probably two of the main reasons that a lot of public places have the rule "no pets allowed."

And - these rules have to apply to all dogs - they can't say "This one is allowed - that one isn't - this one is - that one isn't, etc.

Therapy dogs are rightfully allowed to go everyplace. Our dogs are not therapy dogs. Does anyone here have a Yorkie that is a true therapy or service dog - that has been trained as such and that you need with you at all times for a good reason......???????? I doubt it...

He is sooooo cute and I love the bag. We don't like to leave Max in our motel room by himself so he goes everywhere we do and one of us usually stays in the truck while the other one goes in, if we are someplace that Max isn't allowed. We are working on crate training so we can occasionally go to dinner but haven't gotten there yet (Max is almost 5 months), but eventually hope to be there.

Julez · 06-09-2006, 05:59 AM

I think there's a difference between a dog that is carried in a carrier and one that is walking. A dog in a carrier can't hurt anything, or make a mess on the floor, so I don't think it's a big deal. I've never had any problems bringing my dog into a store, and if I were asked to leave, I would. I've never been asked to leave yet. A lot of stores don't mind, and half the time, the employees are the first ones to ooh and ah over my baby. Part of the reason I got a small dog was so I could take her places with me. I wouldn't try to sneak her into a grocery store, but I don't see the big deal in taking her to stores that don't have food or "no dogs allowed" signs.

i wish the moderators would lock this thread now. all the humor and enjoyment is gone.

Actually I think there is a member on YT whose Yorkie is a therapy/service dog. I believe Megan's dog Tucker is a service dog for Teri (Teri is Megan's mom).
