Yes, my parent's and my sister's call Jada "water rat" what the hek is a water rat.
They are all used to large dogs so when jada came along they all made jokes. I used to get upset, but now it doesnt bother me too much. We yorkie mommie's and daddy's have the cutest babies in the whole world
Try not to let it bother you, and just let them know that it bother's you when they say things like that.

She didn't agree and told me that there's no reason to get upset, and that people are just making a joke. I would NEVER say this about someone's pet and I don't think anyone should say it about mine!
Am I overreacting? Do people say this to anyone else with tiny dogs? So rude! |
