How rude!! you seem to meet the rudest of people when you own a yorkie...they seem to think for some reason that it is ok to insult your dog..what they probably don't realise is that these dogs are our babies..insult them, insult US!
I have encountered these sorts of rude, uneducated idiots myself many times as a yorkie owner...they seem to think they are witty and that they are the first person to have ever called my baby 'A Rat'...it's not the first or last time i will hear this pathetic, not in the least bit amusing comment...and the only Rat I can see is not the one being walked on a lead with a bow in it's hair.
