Not sticking up for the lady as she doesn't sound like a prize but you will probably encounter many people who do not know what little Thom is other than a delightful little fellow. Just take the opportunity to nicely educate them.

I didnt tell her he was a yorkie, i told her he was a biewer. I tried to explain, but then she came up with her "Schnauzer wiener dog mix" so i kinda gave up. hehe! I was still surprized when she asked if i was going to breed them... My feelings arent "hurt" over the confusion on what kind of dog he is. Its just annoying.

When she came home with her pound dog (that shes now giving back to the pound) i didnt make comments to her on how the dog was an odd mix, or looked wierd...
