| People are so rude sometimes My BF and I took Zoe out today since it was prety nice out. He got a haircut and zoe and I waited. I have a dog stroller for him so its easier for us to get into places. Zoe is a barker so when he barks, everyone looks in the stroller. MOST of the people today gave me the dirtiest look as if a dog cannot have a stroller. They would say rude comments to their friends such as..."I can't believe she has a dog in that stroller" or "Are you serious? They make those for dogs?". I would get the occasional comment on how cute he is or OMG I thought it was a baby but people are just RUDE and it took alot to not yell at these people. He's MY dog and I treat him like a real baby because to me, he IS! What's their problem? Sorry...I just get so angry!

| I bet you got more nice comments than rude ones. I just think some people dont know what to say when they see something different which doesnt excuse them for being rude. I just ignore the rude ones. I used to never take Jewels out in a dress because I was afraid people would make rude comments and then I just decided I was going to start and I have gotten alot more nice comments then rude ones. I do get some looks sometimes though

| I know what you mean! People can be so pithy when they don't understand. It's becoming so common for people to dress their dogs and buy accessories, they are going to feel so stupid pretty soon when they realize they just weren't "with the times". I was in Santa Monica on a business trip last week and stopped at a little outdoor store called "fancy paws". It was so busy, the lady running it couldn't keep up!

| People are rude, that's definately a fact. I did see at Petsmart they now have pink playpens for dogs. All of us who already use kid playpens for our little ones were one step ahead of the pet department. Of course, the special pink playpen for dogs is $80...more than a kid playpen. I didn't happen to see any blue ones though for boys, sorry Zoe. They had the matching pink stroller right next to it.

| I know what you mean. Gracie and I were walking downtown. These two women walk by, look at Gracie and say, "That looks like a summer dress" with their noses in the air so high that, well.... Gracie had on her new pink hoodie dress that she got from the YT GE. Her hair was done really cute. It was plenty of warmth for her as it was a mild day. I thought it was appropriate for year around wear. I suppose if Gracie were that lady's dog, she would have her wear a leather jacket or something. Anyway, I just walked by, ignored the ladies and quite loudly told Gracie how pretty she looked.

| I think I'll make a sign for my stroller that says: "If you can't say anything nice then shut up!"

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Put up a sign for him on his stroller "Because YOU Don't VACCINATE - I get to ride". Being in a stroller is safe. I don't have one but if Parvo is everywhere like they're saying I may think about it and would DEF use one if I had young puppies. My girls love to walk it would be hard to deprive them of that - but a stroller is def the SAFE way to go |

| hahaha..you guys crack me up!! I needed that. Thank you all for the wonderful advice and experiences. People need to mind their own business!! I can't believe people would make a big deal about a dress? They look adorable and so what if it looks a little "springy"? Can I only wear sunglasses in the summer? SOOOO ANNOYING! Yorkie3 - I really may make that sign...I LOVE IT! Zoe really is my baby like your yorkies to you. SO what if we treat them like they are humans....they practically are!

| I am hoping Santa Paws brings my furbabies a stroller for Christmas!! and if he doesn't well....I will be buying one as soon as possible! I want to be able to take them places with me and not have to worry about them walking. Besides, I thought it might be practical for when we are taking them to the dogtors! I won't have to worry about them being on the floor with other doggies.
