So it's not just people with average to large size Yorkies that are criticized, I'm getting ALOT of critical remarks from people about Missy's small size. You just can't please everyone!  What annoys me more is being criticized for dressing her up, doing her hair, and homecooking for her. I think that I'm just taking good care of her. All pets should be treated so well.  |
i never got criticized for milu being small. (i probably have, but i go about not paying much attention. so i probbaly just didn't notice)
i think people hear bits and pieces of info. here and there, and generalize it and apply it to any situation they want to.
yes, there are info out there about not dressing dogs up because it's bad (but that was about large dogs with undercoat) and yes, there are info. out there about unhealthy tiny yorkies. but not all tiny yorkies are unhealthy!
although it does scare me alot since people constantly say that small yorkies are unhealthy. so it makes me worry about my yorkie.
but i did my research, and milu's parents were both about 5lbs. so i hope everything is ok. but, it does make me worry when people constantly talk about how tiny yorkies are unhealthy.
anyways, i hate it when people say rude/stupid things. why they have to open their mouth and ruin someone's day, i have no idea.
