Most of the time people say something stupid or rude is because they are at a loss for words, may wish they had whatever you have (especially if it's a Yorkie) so they say something ignorant; or they are insecure and uncomfortable and just say the first thing that pops in their head.
In the big picture of life, how significant is this event?

PS A bit of trivia-- Yorkies were originally bred as 'ratters' - dogs who find and kill rats. They have a keen sense of hearing and smell and can get into incredibly small places. My Ollie brought me his 2nd and 3rd mouse this week. The third one was still alive. He brought it into the living room. I call him my little ratter.
Now there's fodder for a whole weeks worth of banter!
