This last week I was sitting in the vet's office (he got snipped snipped lol) and talking to this woman who was there waiting for her two little yorkies to come out. When Kingston came bolting out the door she exclaimed loudly "Oh my, you got a really big yorkie!" Her's came out shortly thereafter and I noticed her yorkies were the "teacup" size (don't even get me started on teacup size yorkies lol).
I said nicely, "No, he's the standard size. Have a good day!"
Grr. Ok so this turned into a rant... anyways. Does it bother anyone else to have your "big" yorkie looked at funny? When did the runt of the litters, I mean, "teacup yorkies" become the norm and standard size yorkies became worthy of a raised eyebrow?
Disclaimer: Not trying to put anyone down who has a "teacup" yorkie. My issue is just being told that my "standard" yorkie is "big"  |
lol, you are so funny!
yes, i would be irritated too.
she is just not educated about yorkies.
a lot of people aren't and they make stupid statements.
