| ♥ Sighhhhhhhhh ♥ (vent) So, I took Missy for a big walk today in a forested type area near a park. I carried her the whole hour because she is still recovering from her spay surgery. Anyways, just as we're getting back to where the car's parked, we walk by 2 ladies sitting with their dog (one was a Chow, the other I couldn't tell). They start openly LAUGHING at us. I just look at them like What? I'm thinking maybe my underwears showing, or I have something on my face...I mean they were REALLY laughing. The one lady is laughing so hard that she can barely talk and she says *pointing at Missy* "What IS that"? I replied, "She's a Yorkie". Lady, "Is that some kind of dog"? Me, "Yes, she's a toy breed dog". Lady *dripping with sarcasm*, "gee, she must be a whole 1.5 lbs". Me, "No, actually she is 3 lbs". Lady, "Well that must be why you're carrying her, she can't even walk by herself". Me, "I'm carrying her because she recently had her spay surgery and has to be kept still". Lady, "You mean you actually had her spayed *laughing hysterically* ...yeah, I guess that I wouldn't want to breed a dog like her either". I just glared at her and walked away. I can not believe that someone would be so freakin' RUDE! And of course her Chow was off-leash at a kids park. It wasn't an obediant dog either. She was all the way across the field before he finally listened to her calling him because they were leaving. If I didn't love Missy so much and think she is perfect the way she is, that probably would have really hurt my feelings. It doesn't matter if you have a big yorkie or a little one, people criticize you either way. You just can't win! Anyways, I hope her Karma bites her in the you know where Here's my little Miss-Miss in her latest purchase from Sapphire's Closet. She's a little scruffy because she can't have a bath for 5 more days, but I thought that I'd share anyways.

| I don't know why people have the audacity to say anything about YOUR dog if they can't say something nice. I have never had anyone say anything rude about my Marley. Maybe I just havent had her long enough ( only about 1 month ) . But I'm telling you what, the first time someone pops off at the mouth about my Marley in a negative way and you can bet they are gonna wish they hadn't. I can't hold my tongue as well as others |

Thor's Human Donating Member | Seriously, Missy is stunning. Thor totally wants to meet her and he's neutered! After reading all the stories about people sneering at big yorkies and hearing the comments some people make about 4 lb Thor (rat, not an actual dog, etc), I have reached the inescapable conclusion that some people are STUPID. Even worse, they don't realize how stupid they are and insist on talking to the rest of us, RUDELY.

♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | That is so rude but it doesn't shock me , I get things like that sometimes. Most said things are nice but on the odd occasion like last weekend we were in a country park and this little girl said to her dad "oh daddy look at that cute little dog with a ribbon in its hair ,can we have one" her dad said thats not really a dog we will be getting a proper dog as he said this he pointed out the lab running by.. I could of smacked him in the face. Being a grown up I chose to walk away, my mother would of been proud of me lol

| Missy is adorable! Sometimes in life we run into mean people that are going to be nasty no matter what and it sounds like you ran into two of them today. Sometimes people never grow out of being the playground bully... such a shame.

| I'm just astounded by the rudeness of some people! It seems that someone's always critisizing.....if your yorkie's bigger than standard then it's 'not a yorkie' and if it's a smaller yorkie then it's 'not a dog'.....why don't people mind their own f*&%ing business???!!! It makes me angry that these women thought it necessaryto laugh at someone who clearly loves and cherishes their dog, just because Missy is not the breed of dog that they would choose for themselves. I personally wouldn't have a chow, but I wouldn't bash someone who chooses to. You showed a lot of restraint, Shaunna, because I don't think I could have controlled my mouth! Missy is an absolute stunner, and you are a wonderful mummy to her. I hope she's recovering well from her spay xxx xxx

| Missy is adorable! I just cant believe the rudeness of people sometimes when it comes to our dogs. I think you just cant please some people no matter what size yorkie you have and I think its jealousy of small dogs

| Missy is gorgeous . Love the little outfit . I sincerly think that people like this woman does not have very much to do with her life . Here , I have a little problem with an old man telling his Chow Chow to attack when he sees me walking with Mollie or Frimousse . The other day , I told him to be very careful with his dog because if he attack one of mine , it will be the last thing he'll do . |

| People can be so rude! I wouldn't have been able to hold back, like you did. Awesome self-restraint! *thumbs up* I get all kinds of comments from my family and my in-laws. I get asked how my "rat-dog" is doing, I get warned not to bring her around because their dog(s) will think she's a snack and they'll have to pick Roxie out of their dogs' teeth, etc. It infuriates me! But obviously they act rude just to cover up their jealousy.. haha. I'd be mad too if someone had a cute perfect doggie that was 1/2 the size of my dog's poop! |

| Don't pay those women any attention. They are the ones missing out. Your lit Missy is beautiful. How is she doing after her spay?
