I love that someone reconized your beautiful boy! I, too, have a large Yorkie. We were at Petsmart once when he was younger and had a very rude woman approach us just to stare at Harley. She stopped and actually, wrinkled her nose like she was sickened by him and said, "Is THAT a Yorkie?!" We smiled and politely told her that yes indeed he is. She continued to stare and then, get this, told us, "Ewwww, MY Yorkie is beautiful and is only 4lbs.!" Then she strolled off. We were so stunned that we just stood there, speachless and staring at each other. We were, and still are, very proud of our sweet guy! Mind you, we had no children at that time and he was our baby completely. We were soooooooooo hurt and then irritated when it actually sank in.
