This is how I look at it..
'
There will always be:
Someone prettier
Someone richer
Someone thinner
Someone younger
Someone funnier
etc. etc. etc.
and the list could go on and on...
Once I figure out that it is only important how I feel and who I love and who I think is beautiful then I can just laugh at idiots. I once had someone say I had a ugly Yorkie here on YT and it didn't bother me at all. She was right if you were only looking at the outside but inside my little girl was a survivor of abuse and cruel torture...SHE WAS AND IS BEAUTIFUL TO ME...
I have laughed at times and call them little rats myself because I grew up with big dogs and these little dudes and dudettes are so different from the big ones. My family just cracks up at my little flea's running in all different directions..compared to their big dogs. Heck I show up with steps to get up on the couch (big dogs usually don't do this) I have car seats for them in the car (big dogs can't do this) they have coats for the winter (most big dogs don't do this)..I have purses to carry them in (big dogs can't do this) and all six of my dogs sleep with me..you can only get one or two big dogs to do this.

These little ones are just so different and we are all so lucky to have them..so just enjoy them.
So the next time someone makes a crack..just smile

at them and say what do I really care what you think I love my little one and that is ALL THAT MATTERS.
