| Am I Crazy? Okay so I'm at work and of course I'm on YT!! Lol, I order some dresses for both my girls from tinkerbells closet and get reemed out by co-workers who think it's totally ridiculous. Hello!!! It totally hurt my feelings! Does anyone else get this kind of treatment when you tell them how much you love your furbaby? I'm not wierd! Their gonna look drop dead adorable in their dresses and the world would be a better place if there were more dogs instead of people. They confort you without judgement which is hard to find in any human and I can't imagine my life without them! YT Rules!!!!

| I get rude comments like that all the time. I ignore most of them and think the people making the comments are jealous. |

| how dare they! lol i guess you did not see my thread about being an official neurotic pet owner! my entire family thinks im on crack because i dress sirius, and because he pees on pee pads, and because i cry if he gets hurt, and when i talk about him incessantly like he is child. Im telling you, if i didnt have YT as outlet to totally let everyone know im in love with dog, i may just explode from all the love i have for him! its crazy. i really do think of him as my child and im totally ok with that. We are a different "breed" of people, dog owners. we give and recieve unconditional love that compares to nothing else in the world!! dont let them hurt your feelings. feel bad for them. they will never know the happiness that you know.<3<3<3

| Yeah, just ignore them. A lot of members are here because here at YorkieTalk, they feel "normal", as in anything and everything for their Yorkies is deserved! And yes, your babies will look cute in clothes! We'd love to see pictures after you get 'em! |

| Dont let it get to you, these people just dont get it. Everyone im my work thinks I'm nuts and that I buy too much stuff for my babies, but I say they are only jealous as they dont have a yorkie.

| Well I must admit when I told my hubby I ordered dresses for Tiki he just gave me his silly grin and said in a manly voice "What about the dude". Told him I got him belly bands, he's still trying to figure that one out. Our friends think we're adorable with the dogs, and laugh with us at how silly we have become. That's all that counts. The picture of you and your puppy is stunning, speaks volumes on unconditional love.

| I know exactly what you talking about. My family was totally against the idea of getting Ginger. My Dad said she was a stupid waste of money. UNTIL he babysat for me while I went on a vacation. Now he and my brother are so in love with her. I think when people are judgmental like that, it’s out of ignorance. The best you can do is ignore it…and spend lots of time with us, here on YT!

| Well I work at home so I dont get made fun of by co workers, but my own parents think I am nuts. They think it is so silly that I pamper my dogs and that they sleep with me and that I have 3 of them. They just really do not support what I do and it really frustrates me. You just have to ignore them. Other people who dont own dogs just do not understand the joy and happiness that they bring to our lives.

| Wow, I really think that is rude of them. FIRST of all, it is your $$ and you can do whatever you want with it. You earned it. Second of all, many people dress up their dogs, if they didn't, would they really have so many websites about it? I remember when I first got Brandy one some of my friends came over. One said a smart remark, "Well, at least you don't dress her up." So I said, "Sure do!!" Then I showed her Brandy's wardrobe and some cute sweaters I had just bought. I explained to her that yorkies have hair like humans so when they go outside, they need the extra warmth. Plus she looks so darn cute! Don't let them bother you. Be proud you're a yorkie mommy. She is a lucky dog to have you. I wish every dog were treated so special! They are just being haters and I'm sure if they were blessed to have a yorkie in their life they would have at least one article of clothing for him/her. I'll bet if you brought her into work in a cute dress people would be all over her. |
