| Odd things people have said to you Most people love Lola and just say how good/cute/sweet she is but sometimes we get some odd remarks. Tonight really took the cake, I had her in Boscovs in her stroller and a couple asked if she was in there because she's bad. I told them of course not, she's an excellent dog, they just wouldn't let her in without it. Lola just sat there nicely looking out the mesh the whole time. A few people said they thought she was a stuffed toy at first. One woman asked "How much does she weigh? 12lbs?" She was surprised when I told her she's 5.5lbs. |

The woman had a big dog so I think it was more not having experience with small dogs. I just thought it was funny. | |

| I've gotten "I thought she was a toy," too. The most surprising question I got was, "Will you sell her? How much?" I was so shocked! Another surprising question was, "Will you breed her with my dog?" My Tatiana is 3 lbs. Too small to be bred. Besides, she was spayed. |

| Most people think my two are a lot smaller than they are. They always assume they are just a couple pounds. My two are 5 and 7 pounds lol. I have been asked to breed Couver before... This was before he was neutered at 5 months. She wanted a small yorkie to breed with her small female. LOL No way.

| I am sorry but the first person that asks me to sell one of mine is going to get "Hey I have an idea. Do you have a human baby you want to trade because these are my babies and mean just as much to me !!!"

The only comments I get that stand out are the rude ones. I've had strangers say "that's not a dog" and "look at that rat dog." The "rat dog" person followed it up with a "that's right, I called your dog a rat dog. So far, I've just ignored them.

| The other day a neighbor I don't know told Pickles he could use him as shark bait. Eh and wth? Usually people are very nice about little Pickles, though. Except.... most think he's a she. Lol.With P-Nut, who's 11lbs, I get people asking if he's a silky a lot and several people I don't know have called him Toto when we're out walking. I keep my sense of humor for the most part, but shark bait bugged me. |

| I can't believe so many have gotten the breeding and selling comments, especially the selling comments. The shark bait comment is really odd/rude. My former next door neighbor and another woman made similar comments about Lola and how she's not a real dog. She's just a horrible person in general, one of her dogs is the reason why we have an 8ft privacy fence. Luckily they're the only ones who've made nasty comments so far. |

YT 1000 Club Member | When I go somewhere like PetSmart with My Adult Male Sneakers in a shopping basket, I hear... "He's not very friendly, is he !" when some people pull their hand back quickly, as he growls and snaps at it. My reply is... "I don't think he wants you to pet him, and, neither do I"

| The most annoying/negative thing I hear is that Joel doesn't need a coat or booties. I don't even dress him up, just when we're on walks and living in Alaska I think it's pretty reasonable |
