Missy is adorable! I think the rude comments stem from jealousy in so many cases...not that it matters...if you don't have anything nice to say just don't say anything at all. Is that SOOOOOOO hard?
I have two bigger yorkies and still get comments from people with larger dogs, toy breed or not. One guy with a boston terrier (unneutered and trying to hump every dog in sight, of course) kind of sneered at the way Rory and Lane were dressed in pink coats and pink bows at the dog park. He threw the ball for his dog and when Rory out ran his dog for the ball, grabbed the ball, returned it back to me and dropped it at my feet I think he was in shock. So I guess in that instance, Rory did all the talking for me.
