I specifically told you that I don't get uptight at all about the terms teacup or tinies and that they can be descriptive! I did tell you again VERY NICELY that some have a bad feeling about the words only because some disreputable breeders have used the words to sell and breed too small of Yorkies. At no time did I write ANYTHING remotely to make you think you had done anything needing forgiven!! I just thught you might want to know since you are breeding! It was supposed to be HELPFUL!

If you did not read the posts then why would you just assume that someone was ragging on you and that you had anything to apologize for? The way you word your post is like someone told you they were bad words or something. Obviously everyone else thought so too as the resulting replies seem to want to verbally beat up on the persons sending you the PMs. I sent one of them and will readily admit it because I did NOTHING wrong, insinuated NOTHING bad, and did nothing more than write a nice, polite, friendly, and welcoming pm to you. I won't make that mistake again!

I cannot understand at all why you would write that you are "IN TEARS" when you did not even read the PMs? Why would you be "in tears" for something you do not know what it said? I can resend you a copy from my "sent" pms if you would like and you can see that it said NOTHING bad at all! It was meant as a heads up, a nice way to let you know. At no time did I say not to use the terms, or that the terms were bad, or needed apologized for. I simply thought you might want to know that to some they have a negative connotation. I was VERY careful to word my post in such a way that there could be NO OFFENSE taken. I made it clear that I don't have any problem with the terms! Which I don't and I have posted that publically several times before. If I wanted to start trouble I would have posted it on the forum and not sent a nice discreet PM that should have been just between us and in no way thought negatively about at all. Actually I sort of thought I might get a nice PM in return from you. Not in my wildest imagination would I have guessed that you were harboring ill will about the PM! I still do not get it at all! How on earth would you get all these negative feelings if yo did not read the pms? Does no one else find this ODD!?!?!

To all who automatically assumed that there was something bad in the PMs she got when she herself said she did not read them......I don't even know what to say. I can see how she manipulated the wording to make everyone think something bad was said, but I assure you that mine had nothing bad at ALL! Which makes me think that the other one could have been just as nicely worded too. I really dislike this sort of thing -- trying to make mountains of less than molehills, trying to create theatrics and drama where NONE should be. Well maybe she wanted all the sympathy but I don't think it should come at the expense of others who thought they were doing nothing but a good deed, giving a little heads up on the QT -- QT! HA! IF anyone thinks that perhaps I am aggravated over this -- I AM! I am fuming that anyone took my absolutely nice PM and tried to turn it into a hate topic.
I think you are taking her post wrong. She was in tears because she felt bad for using the term. She was not in tears because she thought the PMs were bad. She can correct me if I am wrong in interpreting her post.

Please don't be hard on her. In a few weeks you won't even be bothered by this thread.

As I have said, there is nothing wrong with wording your dog as a teacup. It is a word that also means very small in he dog world. An owner, I feel has the right to be able to use that word.

The OP now knows how you feel. Please don't drive her away.
