i've only had her since friday and it's already happened to me!! i can tell these are just terms they've been hearing... so i said "no, she's just small..." when people stop to admire, i just smile and tell them she's pretty skittish (which she is, she's straining her leash to get away from them and behind me)
when i have her in her bag and people try to touch, i turn my body so they can't reach her. it's like i would turn my purse away from you if you were trying to reach in for my wallet (and her bag is like a purse, no one really knows the difference!!) |
