My brother told me the most shocking thing!! My Brother told me he hates dogs. He then told me "let me take that back" "I hate people who love their dogs!" I said i love my dog. He says "no" "I hate people who put little bows in their dogs hair and take them everywhere". "I hate people who dress up their dogs in ridiculous clothes and who let their dogs lick them on the mouth." He told me he hates how people treat their dogs like a human. I told him then he must hate me...I told him we wrap sonia up in a blanket and hold her like a baby. We bought her a little sweater to wear and the only reason she doesnt have a bow yet is because she hasnt enough hair. LoL. He looked at me and shook his head. I guess he aint loved enough???:2hearts2: :Puppy2: |
That is a shame. I have always loved animals and treated them very special. My family knows I love my furbabies and that I spoil them and treat them like my kids. While they would not probably do the same with their dog and spoil them and treat them like babies they accept that do with mine. Of course the cuteness factor helps!!:D My grandparents were anti-dog until I got my cocker and they love her. Now they love my smaller furbabies too and love seeing all the clothes, bows, etc that they have and want to baby them too!! |
It is funny because before my brother had heart surgery , I always told him that I hated cats . A few weeks after he came home , one of his friends offered him a Siamese kitten . Now , guess who will never let the cat go . Sometimes people say something just to have reactions from the others and It works . |
i have always loved dogs but I had never had a small dog before. I never understood the whole clothing thing and I didn't like small dogs that barked like crazy and jumped all over me when I went to some one's home... my friends dog (It was a Jack Russell) got up on the dinner table while we were eating and I couldn't stand it!!! She had no control over her dog and just thought EVERY THING THE DOG DID WAS SO CUTE! I didn't like this dog! But now that I have my own baby I can see the flip side and an very caught up in the fur baby craze!!! I guess it took one of my own to understand. |
QUOTE["I guess it took one of my own to understand."]QUOTE That is me too -- I would sort of chuckle and shake my head when I saw someone who dressed their dog and treated it like a baby. Then a little Yorkie stole my heart and I had an epiphany -- suddenly I understood all the cooing, coddling, and love. I plan on spoiling mine as much as possible. |
I think Hubby said something similar at one point... Not that he hates it, just that he thinks it's dumb and pointless.... Enter our pups and the few sweaters/bows that I have.... He now thinks it's fun to dress Charlie up too. He even bought Charlie a sweater on his own! LOL, so what if it's sports related, he's still getting into it! :cool: |
I keep telling my boyfriend that I'm gonna dress Savvy up in a cute little pink dress with a pink leash and collar.....and when we go out HE's walking her. Everytime his reaction is just a long sigh. lol..I torture him so... |
My huband is always showing Minnie off at work in her new clothes. He is one of those Managers at Home Depot lol. |
Men are big softies inside but the they want to look macho outside. |
How old is your brother? LOL. You sure thats your "full" brother, lol? |

Hehehehe!! I think I have issues when it comes to dressing mine. None of them care to be dressed and now that its cold the clothes stay on. Sure they look cute but the clothes are good when its cold too! HEHEHEHE I think I may be trying to convince myself, LOL Check us out if you wanna see why my mom and every else thinks I'm a little nutty!! LOL www.sweetpuppylove.zoomshare.com |
I understand some people who feel this way. It is true that a lot of little dogs are totally out of control, and as much as they are loved --- who wants to have to be around them. It's not much different than having to put up with other people's misbehaving spoiled little children....no fun! As far as clothes, etc. I don't go crazy over this - but mine do have a few outfits -- and I think they look cute in them. And - they don't seem to mind wearing them at all. **** I think the thing we need to do is just tone it down and try and treat our little guys more like little dogs when we are around people like this. Nothing wrong with this. This is the way mine are treated most of the time anyway. Actually - I think they like being dogs. There must be something very special about being a dog - or we wouldn't love them as much as we do. Never argue with someone who feels this way. It really only makes things worse. And - don't we know - everyone has the right to their own opinion. I do think it's interesting that it's the people your brother doesn't like - not the dog. Something to be said about that! In all honesty - I have been around people who are "a little too much." Most of us aren't. We just love ouir pets. Good luck! Carol Jean |

Aw...it sounds like he is just jealous. :p Teri |
some people simply just dont get it..... |
Awwww, how sad! Some people just don't understand how we treat our furbabies like family. |
We live in a very small town (400 people). And I'm sure people think I'm crazy. My babies go with me every where. Okay there isn't too many places to go in town- 1 grocery store-1gas station-1 hard ware store-a post office-bank and library. We live a block from the school, and I often run things up there for my kids and my babies always go with me, and I just know the teachers up there think I'm loony. Some people just don't get it. My mom is kind of an anti animal person. I swear I must have been adopted. we have a bunny, two hamsters, 7horses and Roxi, Titan and the babies. And when ever Roxi goes near my mom she shoos her away:eek: I just can't beleive it. Roxi is supper sweet. We always keep her clean, and she's pretty well behaved and my mom shoos her. We so can't be related. |
I always wonder how can ppl not like dogs? My bf's sister's bf (lol) says he hates dogs , I'm like HOW???? |
lol a lot of people don't get it. and yes, dressing our babies up is cute, but maybe you should try explaining to him that dogs this size actually have a hard time regulating their body temperature. putting clothes on them in the winter is actually for their own health. otherwise, they really could freeze and get sick. Lotte is hardly affected, but my Bounce has a sweater/jacket collection a mile long b/c even in the summer, he gets cold and shakes in places that the AC is really on. |
My brother is 29years old. He is my half brother but still my brother!:p I showed him a picture of Sonia dressed up for trick or treating. She had a little sweater on and a bow, Which she shook off her head N E Ways.. He looked and didnt say N E Thing..LoL. If he knew my husband was the one who dressed her and insisted on bringing her with us trick or treating, My poor husband would never hear the end of it..I told my hubby that i read somewhere that in the MAN LAW...it says that a man shall not own a dog smaller then a football and definatly not dress it in sweaters or bows.. He says that Sonia is my dog and i said "Who's the one who bought the clothes for her"? He looks like a big dork rolling around the yard with this tiny small baby in a pink sweater. I wonder what the Manley neighbors with their big dogs think..I bet their wives think it's cute..I do.. |
I would try not to let it bother me too much. Does he have a dog. My brother and his family have a dog and a couple of cats. My brother is by no means an animal person. He doesn't mind having them around but, he will not go out of his way to pick one up, if they jump up in his lap he will pet them. WOW. I can't believe that he told you that. |

My husband is the one who got me into yorkies. He and his ex had one and I kinda of inherited her after their divorce and we got married. I have loved them ever since. We also have a lab that we love but, we have already said that whenever something happens to her unless, we change our minds that we don't want another big dog. My husbands best friend has a Min Pin and she is his pride and joy. Most guys that think like that have probably never been around a little dog or if they have are ashamed to admit it to their macho friends that they really like them. |
how sad that your brother feels this way! I wish everyone could understand the love we have for are babies, but I guess everyone is different. Maybe one day he will see how she makes you feel and he will "get it" Best wishes to you! |
He has no pets. My mom only let us have cats. My husbands mom just found out how much we paid for Sonia and asked us why did we pay so much for that dog. What is so special about her and why couldnt we have gotton a dog like his brothers dog? $50 from the paper. His brothers wife is so jealous of Sonia. She doesnt like her in her house. I dont care what people think of how we dress her..How much she was.....She's ours..Even though she still poops everywhere......:D |
