I taught for many years, and one very wise man once told me to never underestimate the power of stupidity to dirive people's actions and comments.
My little Lolly weighs 5.75lbs., and my darling departed Mac weighed 7lbs. Next time somebody makes a mating comment, tell them your dog isn't a tramp and doesn't even kiss until the 3rd date. If you see the woman with the 2.9lb. yorkie again, tell her you thought about it, but her little boy isn't man enough for your girl.

I pity that poor dog having a nitwit for an owner.
