Getting peed on is nothing to joke about IMO, just gross. When I used to get questions like these (rarely happens anymore, since one of my new yorkies is very hostle to strangers and I have a terrible time trying to train him to be "nice"), I always would explain with minimal sarcasm that yes, they are full grown, no, they were not the same breed as Toto, yes, they act much the same as any other dog and love to play fetch and do anything any other terrier likes to do (including roll in skunk spray if you let them).
Igorant people just need to be educated if they will listen, at least the ladies agreed Rocco was cute, and that is a start.  |
Agreed, it is a bit gross to be peed on. But trust me, it wasn't like he lifted his leg and let go on her...it was just a little trickle because he was excited. I would normally have pulled him away immediately and apologized, but I happened to notice at the exact moment she asked the "real dog" question. I truly do love when people ask questions about him and take an interest, not expecting them to be experts...but these ladies were just rude in their words and expressions. I'll try to keep my tongue under control next time, promise.
As for Rocco, I can only hope he learns to control his excitement now that flip-flop season is here
