She finally asked me 'What is THAT??' I was taken aback a little because most ppl know she's a dog even tho she is tiny. So i responded with..'you mean what type of DOG is she?' and she said yes. So i told her then she asked if she will grow more , i said no,then she goes 'how much do those kind of dogs run you? how much did you pay?' Usually i think it's rude to ask that and say she was a gift or something but i figured to just be honest and i told her how much London was. OMG when i told her, this lady's face dropped. She goes "WHAT???!! That much for a DOG??? a DOGGG??' I said YES! And then she kept shaking her head and making noises. I don't even understand why she asked then. It's my money, i can do what i want with it. Those type of ppl i don't even want to have a dog, and i'll be completely honest and tell them it's expensive to take care of them, vet bills, supplies, etc. If they are still interested i will tell them where they can do research on them, if not they can keep walking. Some ppl are just plain rude and I don't understand them. But with the lady today me and my bf just shrugged it off and labeled her crazy  I'm sorry but she looked very unkept like she didn't care about herself, how would she care for a dog? I hope she never gets one. This other lady stopped my bf and i on the street and was very interested in getting a Yorkie. We had a long convo and she was very nice, she said she knows how expensive they can be and her friend has told her who also has a dog. She was very interested and i was very honest with her and i told her about YT. Hopefully she checks it out. With those rude ppl i say just shrug them off, sometimes its good to say something smart back if they say something, sometimes it's not even worth it. |
For every single rude comment, I've found there are dozens of compliments about ones dog. When I walk Archie in our neighborhood, people literally pull over in their cars to tell me what a doll he is, ask questions about the breed, etc. He's quite the star in the neighborhood. I've even had people pull over and ask me if I'm interested in breeding him with their Yorkie (sorry, no equipment!). Most people are curious, nice and totally charmed by our babies' beauty and bounciness!
