As an owner to my little poodle, Ralph he is a lot of up keep. But I love him and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world! |
Hah! i'm a stay at home mom, and my husband is in Paramedic School so he only works 2 days a week and we have a yorkie :) and a great dane, and trust me, the Dane is harder and more expensive to care for then Bentley! LOL |
I'm with Melissa, I certainly don't come in the high earner bracket and I'm about to get my second frou frou dog. Yorkies once you get them I think, are the furthest thing from frou frou, it's owners who do that by dressing them like dollies and putting them in prams. Teegy loves to wrestle and shake the heck out of his toys and loves to go on giant walks for hours. That's silliness, I think it's about the size of your heart more than your wallet. |
I am just a physical therapist, no frou frou in my condo. It was about size, icky weather in the Northeast, and previously growing up with a terrier. I wanted a dog, but small enough for me to control. When I was married I had a German Shepherd who loved me, but accidentally knocked me down a few times. She had to go with live my ex. I also know with a toy breed if the weather is awful, she can use dog potty pad/fake grass litter box inside her play pen. I plan to keep her hair fairly short, not like a show dog. |

I have to agree with everyone here! I have two "frou frou" dogs, and when I adopted both of them my family made less than 25, 000 a year .... and or income hasn't gone up that much since then. And I feel I "up-keep" my dogs VERY well on a budget. I remember when I had a larger dog. I was spending $60+ a month on food ALONE. Now that I have only two small dogs I spend about $10 on food a month (I purchase a large bag of food for $35 that lasts my dogs several months). Also, I LOVE when men are confident enough to walk around with/own little dogs ^-^ |
Yorkies aren't only chick magnets, they are people magnets. Everybody wants to pet them (all of them don't get to). People want to know how old they are, will they get bigger, etc. It's funny to watch my husband (big guy, former cop) play with them, talk to them, etc. He doesn't walk them but then he doesn't go for walks. He loves the cute harness's, sweaters, collars that I bring home. He especially loves grooming day....he waits by the door for me to get home with them. Five years ago, I don't think he would have thought about having a "frou frou dog". But we now have two. |
I did laugh when in the article it said . . . And balding men may prefer longhaired dogs |
