I get asked this all the time!!!
Miss Lula-Mae Famous is a little over 2 pounds now at 5 months. Not only do I get asked if she is "one of those teacup types" but people will say "she is just a puppy right? she is going to get bigger?" and shoot me a dirty look *sigh* I just want to go to the bank and get a cup of coffee, I wasnt really looking forward to a Q&A session on my dog.
I dont get angry about people being uneducated about yorkies, I cant really blame them. I didnt know much about them until I got one myself. "teacup" is almost like a size comparison for a dog that has a vast range in sizes. Like said in a previous post its like "little people" or "midget" for people.
Sometimes I almost feel as though they are trying to make small talk so they dont seem so creepy when they are rubbing their hands all over my dog. :P
I just say she is my little runt.
What bothers me is the people that for some reason dont aprove of my small dog. Like she isnt a "real" dog becuase she is small. No matter what size she is, she is my best friend. maybe she cant catch a frisbee but I love her just the same.
