I am also sorry you had a bad day. I also have a hard time when people refer to Taycie as a "rat" dog. I know know what rats look like, I have seen them many times at Petsmart or Petco and I just don't see the comparison but maybe I am the blind one?
I had a particular situation with a lady who I actually worked with at a Salon in Downtown Denver,CO. It was a big salon that did well and I worked with 45 stylists at the time. One girl I worked with told me to my face," Emily, You are pretty. You have a really nice face. But You would be even prettier if you had a different nose."
To say the least I was shocked and went to the bathroom and cried... Although this is a different situation it really is shocking what people will say...
I do think your little Poppy is gorgeous and I am sure she a joy in your life
