Whether it was rude depends on the tone in which you spoke. IMO My own mom & extended family think I'm crazy for spending the big bucks on a Yorkie. We paid $350 for our first Yorkie, Mocha, 16 years ago & spent $1200 on Kodah. My family has no problem telling me they could find lots of better ways to spend $1200 (not that they know we paid that for her
) & I in return could say the same thing to them on how they choose to spend some of their money WITH NO HURT FEELINGS. EVERYONE makes choices in life, and we are all DIFFERENT - some people spend lots of money on traveling, cars, clothes, GOLF (hubby), food, etc. If you feel like you were rude in how you spoke to her, just apologize for your tone & LOVE that $1,000 Yorkie to death!!!
