I'm actually sad you've never had comments like that...I always compliment people on their dogs ....when a dog has a sparkle in their eyes, you just know they're special ....and Archie has that sparkle.
For people to not pay attention to a yorkie that's on the larger side blows me away. Big and small they're full of personality and spunk. The size thing is an obsession these days
I LOVE what doortego said -
Some people see the positive, some see the negative, some want to encourage & compliment others & some enjoy putting others down. sad but true.
and Archie - WE love you here and your mom too - I hope you meet more nice people like that cause the others just don't matter.
