I can't believe she said that I didn't even know what to say she is a "friend" and she even has dogs!!??(Hotdog) He is still a puppy and I think he will still grow (only 9 months) But maybe he will always have big ears with one up and one down. I'm so mad and I needed to vent. What do you say to people when they say things like thatAttachment 246886

Umm, there is no way he would win an Ugly Dog Contest since, you know, the dogs who enter are generally ugly.

Max is adorable! Anyone who can't see that clearly has bad taste! I think the one ear up and down thing is cute and sets him apart. It only adds to his charm.

I think I would try my hardest to respond with kindness. "Well, we think he's just perfect. It's funny I've never heard anyone say anything negative about his looks before." Kind of turn it around on them and make THEM feel like maybe they are ugly (at least on the inside).
