Hi everyone
I have come here for a little bit of a rant... i know you yorkie lovers will understand! My feelings have been hurt today
. Me and OH went to carbooty and we took Poppy as it was really sunny and she loves meeting all the diff dogs. We got there and Poppy loved being outside among everyone as she was getting A LOT of attention as she is only 3 lbs and with her sexy top knot and little poka dot harness she was looking a right CUTIE, i was so proud!!!
Anyway most of the carbooty was inside and it was packed full of people so i thought it would be best if i picked Poppy up as she is so tiny she would have got stepped on. She's such a good girl and always sits nicely in my arms as i kiss her head.
This woman was also holding a yorkie bigger than poppy and she came over to say hello and so they can meet. Poppy didnt like going near the other dog and was backing away so i asked if i could stroke her dog and asked his name and she told me off telling me HER dog was a SHE called Gorgina and she gets the hair cut short because dogs so small SHOULDNT have long hair because it gets knotted and that she took her dog to the groomers to get the hair cut!!
I didnt mean to offend her i just asumed it was a little boy because it had a blue collar on not because the hair was short. I told her i also take poppy to the groomers and that i brush her twise a day to keep her knott free. Should i really have needed to explain myself to her?
A little further on a chinese woman came running up to me and she didnt speak very good english asking me where i got my puppy from. I laughed telling her she was over 9months old now and that i got her from an advert out of a paper but that was not recommended and she should find a breeder. She asked how much i payed for her which i thought was REALLY rude but i felt like i had to answer and when i said £500 she was like OHhh i would never pay that much for a puppy. How dare she tell me how much i should have paid for Poppy. My Poppy is priceless
hurt my feelings.
So off we went again walking around the boot sale and this woman pointed at Poppy laughing and shouted ''OMG ITS A RAT'' she was really laughing and even her husband turned and said ''dont call her dog that''. People was looking and i was really hurt and upset. I kissed Poppys head and told her that the woman was probs jealous! Even my OH was shocked and angry. We just walked off
Then i was waiting for OH to get something and this man came up and asked how much to buy Poppy???!!!
I told him she was priceless and he looked at me strange and walked off.
THEN i we was outside and Poppy was on the floor and this big dog came over and i picked Poppy up as i was scared. It was a pitbull or something like that and the man mummbled something like he was angry at me for picking Poppy up. The dog was pulling towards Poppy like it wanted to eat her, it wasnt a happy hello pull so i dunno why he was so upset. I didnt mean to hurt his feelings but i needed to protect my baby, right?
Is it just me over reacting but i feel really hurt and like i subjected Poppy to all this today. I think she loved alot of the attention tho even if some was negitive. Where do people get off being so rude about my little baby girl. Its likes me going up to a mother and calling her child a name its not right and its defo not ok.... well thats how i feel. What do u lot think?
