I guess I would not have taken this so personally. There are probably reasons why this woman did not respond.
We never know what may be going on in someone elses life and it may be too hard to even say hi at some difficult times in ones life.
Also, maybe her yorkie gets too overly excited or aggressive. So, if someone quickly avoids contact it could be to avoid confrontation or problems.
I guess I am one that never lets anything like this upset me.
Your little yorkie is so cute! I would have responded and said "hi". However, I may never allow my 2 puppies get too close to another dog. I am a overly protective Mommy I guess. And this could be because I had a bad experience with a puppy I had in the late 1970's when it met another dog. I almost lost my puppy from this incident. So, keep that in mind also that other dog owners may have similar experiences. Regardless of a dogs size, two small dogs can also hurt each other if one is more aggressive.
I guess I just wanted to share a little insight and experience I have had in the past to possibly explain why this woman may have avoided talking to you or acknowledging you and your yorkie.
If the yorkie was a puppy, maybe a vet has told her no contact with other dogs? But why take the yorkie to a pet store? Who knows. |
