| Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but this really hurt my feelings. Okay, So I drive through Tim Hortons nearly every day for my coffee, Bailey is always in the car seat on the passenger side. The staff around the drive through window at Tims all stick their heads out to have a peek at him and to give him his treat. I've always had them say "Awww. he is so cute!" stuff like that, things we've all heard before about our babies. Has I was driving away today I heard one of the young girls say "I think he looks like a little rat" Well, I can't believe how much this hurt my feelings! Maybe I am a little hormonal today, sure that is true but still it made me feel bad to hear this said about my Bailey. I kept saying to Bailey, "you don't look like a rat, you are a little doll" "That wasn't a nice lady Bailey" Of course Bailey doesn't know the difference, he thinks everyone loves him

| I wouldn't be overly sensative about it. I think Troy looks like a little rat sometimes but I still think he's cute too. He's your dog so I can understand why your offended, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. |

| Of course it hurt your feelings. Bailey is your baby! Personally, I think he's one of THE cutest little guys there is. Someone must have forgotten to wear their glasses to work this morning IMO. Please give Bailey an extra huge kiss and hug from me, and tell him he is ADORABLE.

Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | You should have told her that you thought SHE looked like a rat I dont think you were being overly sensitive at all! I would have been really offended she was just being plain rude.

| It would hurt my feelings too...for about 10 seconds. Then I would just chalk it up to the fact that maybe someone is jealous of you for having such a cute little baby. Please give him a big kiss and hug from me too. I'm assuming that the person that said this is a perfect example of the human race, otherwise I don't think they would have room to talk. lol

| One time when i took Pasquale to Florida...i was walking him thru the parking garage and this lady turned around and said "omg i thought that was a rat". I just smiled at her and said "dont worry..he thought you were a cow" Some people are just stupid..and they deserve to know it

| Don't let this upset you. First, you know that Bailey is adorable. Second, keep in mind that not everyone loves little dogs, and not everyone loves little dogs with long hair (as a few people have told me while looking at my dogs in disgust ). Laugh it off and give Bailey a hug. |

I almost fell off my chair, thanks for the laugh. Darlene, I wouldn't pay her any mind, Bailey is one of the cutest little rats around--and you know how I feel about little Baily. I have to admit, I call Hot Rod and Maggie little rats when they are due for their baths.
