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.

I reallly am sadened that the larger yorkies don't get the compliments they deserve. They are as loving,sweet and beautiful as any other yorkie out there. Each dog is special in it's own way and it's so sad that people treat people and their pets this way!
I have two tiny ones, a 4 pound boy and a 1 pound 11 ounce girl and I always compliment yorkies, big and small, because I think all dogs deserve a special pat on the head and a little treat to make their day. I was actually in Petsmart once and I had Jaden out with me, Jewelina was in her bag and a lady came over gushing over Jaden and wanting to see him and reapeatedly saying how small he was and how nice that was then she asked if I had any others and I say yes, I had a little girl too, and opened my bag to show her and she shrieked "Oh my, she's even TINIER how wonderful!!" she went on to tell me that she had a yorkie too but not a "good one" like either of mine. She said hers was 9 pounds and 1 years old but when she bought him she thought he'd be a T-cup and she was looking for a new one and could I reccomend my breeder
I told her that if she felt a 9 pound yorkie wasn't a good one she probably shouldn't own any yorkie regardless of size and I walked off. I had tears in my eyes just thinking about that poor dog and how he must feel if his owner feels free enough to talk to a stranger about him like that
What is wrong with people these days
