| I need to Vent So tonight was James first night at his puppy training classes @ petsmart, it went really well. On our way out we were looking at some treats and other stuff and this lady with a yorkie came up to me and was like "Oh what kinda of dog IS THAT??" I said he is a YORKIE!!!!!! and her response was.....I didnt reconize him as a yorkie?? Either she was blind or talking about another dog because James looks like a friggin yorkie if you ask me!!! And then she threw in the, well how big is he gonna get? I was like about 8lbs and she started giggling saying that hers is only 4lbs full grown, I said good for you but I didnt want a dog that is too small just b/c I would be a nervous wreck about everything and she was like what do you mean??? I just walked away from her and I hope I never run into her again Sorry she just pissed me off!!

That was the best thing you could have done. She was being a smarty pants and personally little (if not alot) of a show off because her yorkie was smaller. I am sure I would have done the same thing.

| Some people are just ignorant. So how did he do in his class. I took my guys to their first obedience class last night. They did better then some of the dogs that had been there before. We have a lot of homework to do though. |

| Seems like everyone has ran into some rude person tonight! You did the right thing! Hopefully if you see her next time, it'll be when she's stepping in some poo left by a St. Bernard.

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | some people are just so stupid!! I had a lady ask me one time about peeka when we were at petsmart he was only 12 weeks and very tiny she comes up and goes how old is he (thats fine) is he a toy? i'm like all yorkies are toys she goes no will he be 2 lbs i'm like no prob like 4-5 and she's like o i just had mine die it was only 1 lb at like 6 months or something and she's like i'm going to look at one the mom is only 3 lbs and the dad is 2 lbs i was like omg lady and i told her well you know some of those really tiny yorkies have health problems and she's all o i know we just lost one. the nerve of some people she didn't even care just as long as it was about 2 lbs when it was grown and looking at peeka like o 4 lbs when he's full grown wow thats huge. i have nothing against people on yt who have the tinies because at first i wanted one to but the nerve of some people when they see you on the street with that attitude drives me nuts!!!

| Ugh! What an idiot! I don't get why people with smaller dogs think that they are better. What's the big deal? You did well by walking away. After all the dumb comments I have heard, I would have felt like smackin her one! |
