People will think we're weird??

[snoopy42]

I was at a dog boutique with my sister, and I wanted to buy tons of clothes for Zues and Lulu. She refused saying that people will think we're weird dressing them up. At least I was able to buy matching outfits for the two of them.

For those of you who dress up your dogs, do you find that people stare at you and/or make rude comments? What do you say to them?

It won't stop me from dressing Zeus up, but I just want to be prepared with some quick comebacks.

Most people think it's cute... Even me, I am a 24 year old guy. We dress up Peanut sometimes: 'Vicious' Hoody, t-shirts, etc...

Some people will always be rude, but if you are taking your little ones to places where other dog owners are, most people are excited to see them dressed up

Sometimes I get rude comments, but mostly just "oohs and ahhs" over how cute he is.

This should be a good thread...well...right now I'm just getting the "ohhh...she's so cute" thing, but that was when I was a novice YTer and not in "the know" about clothes and hair fashion. We'll find out soon when I start to dress Izzy up more since it will start to get cold outside (in the works are sweaters, Halloween costume, boots, etc.). So hopefully some of you "seasoned" fashionistas will tell us "newbies" some quick combacks to use.

My sister thinks if we dress up our dogs, people will think we are trying to be like Paris Hilton.

What kind of comments?

[LuvMySissy]

If anyone thinks I'm strange for dressing my dogs they don't say it to my face. Most folks will comment on how cute they look. For those who are skeptical, I often tell that that Yorkies get very hot and very cold real easily, so the clothes help with their body temp regulation!!

Mostly people asking much money I spend on his clothes, or they say, "Its just a dog, not a baby," or they tell me that he probably hates wearing clothes.

Once I got, "Why would you put clothes on a rat?"

That is a really good idea! I am sooo going to use that!

[stedmansmommy]

Oh heck, if it were me, I would of just bought what I wanted anyway lol

I have NEVER had anyone say that they think it's weird...and have never had any strange looks either. Of course my mom and my sister will make comments saying that my babies are too spoiled (THEY ARE, so what? ) but it is just something they say and then giggle about - they actually think it's so cute though and love looking at all their cute new clothes when they come over. They just get the biggest kick out of it

some of my friends have joked about this and its like what?? she didnt invent dog clothes

[mizzwanned]

No one has said anything bad about me dressing them, only good comments. They think it's cute. If someone does say something bad i would either ignore them, say "Don't be mad cause they are cuter than you" or if it's the winter tell them they need it to keep warm.
