| Give me your HONEST opinion please! On sunday we took the girls to the park, they were running around enjoying themselves " unleashed" in an area where dog's are allowed to run free till May 1st. I saw this woman laying on the grass, now its NOT a pic-nic place, for people, it's FOR DOGS to swim and run, we take them there almost every sunday for an hour because they love it. Next thing Chelsey walks past this woman and says "hello" ok... she is too friendly and will greet any stranger, so this woman said "keep the dog with you" politely i said sorry to this person and called Chelsey back and kept her with us. This friggin woman keeps staring at me! In a rude way i asked WHAT THE FRIGGIN H*LL SHE WANTS?! Ok that wasnt nice of me, but geeezzz my dog's stayed far away from her, anyhow, up she gets and off she goes. I told my husband "GOOD RIDDENS" Next thing, there's a elderly man & woman riding past us on their bikes, when i heard this woman say, while she's looking/pointing at Chanel she says " that looks like a RAT" OMG i was angry and shouted " if you wanna see a RAT, look at YOURSELF in the mirror" i realize i shouldnt have said that because it's rude, but i was SO MAD i couldnt help myself! My husband looked at me and packed out laughing and said, don't get yourself worked up like that over some silly people! I was like, NO 1 calls my baby a rat, how dare they?? Now i know, if i ask my family or friends their opinion, they will tell me she is beautiful, so i am now asking you guys, does Chanel look anything like a rat?? Like any mother, i think my child is beautiful... i'm madly in love with my girls and i don't care if they are ugly or cute, i love them as is they were my very own kids. I just couldnt get this episode off my mind! I had to vent, thanks for listening! Mandy

| Vent away. I'm on your side totally. In a dog park, dogs have the rights. If this woman didn't want a dog near her, she shouldn't be in a dog park. At many dog parks, you only need to have a leash with you - not necessarily on the dog. Your Chanel definitely DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A RAT!! She is beautiful. I feel the same way about my little baby, but family members who are not fond of dogs say she looks like a rat also - see her photo. Rats are NOT cute animals, nor do they even resemble a yorkie. Some people are just rude by nature and no amount of chastizing will change them, it will only anger you further to resort to their level of unkindness. I know it stings, but try to brush it off.

| She is cute she doesnt look like a rat. That was just a rude comment. Some people dont like small dogs like ours and make rude comments. I just ignore them.

| Good for you, sticking up for your puppy. Like others have said, these are just jealous. If their not jealous then that means there just non animal-friendly people and they don't deserve our time..... I admit I have seen a lot of dogs that I did not care for the look of the animal, but I am always friendly with the dog and owners. You never know how the owner sees their pup... (example : We had a minature, long hair, dapple dauchsund. To me, my mom and step-dad he was the cutest dog alive. The funny thing is that everyone in our family just thought he was so ugly that he was cute... We just thought they were crazy, but really they jsut didn't like the look of our pup.) Crystal

| I think your baby is very pretty! Some people are just idiots!! I think some people who prefer large dogs say that because of the size not because they physically look like a rat.

| I am totally offended for you!! How dare that woman say your baby looks like a rat!! I am from NYC and have seen the sewer rats in the subway station. Those are the most disgusting looking creatures on the face of the earth. Your pup is absolutely precious and that woman was way out of line. But I agree with most people on here. She was probably just jealous of your dog and called her a rat due to her size not look. Don't let anyone take your joy and ruin your day. In the end, you go home with a loving husband and precious little dog and she gets to go home and look at her "rat face" in the mirror!!
