This actually made me laugh. It's so ironic, isn't it? And I wonder how many of these judging adults would take on that job at their sizes??

I've never really heard Princess get insulted but would gladly participate in the convo. I'm known to speak my mind & it's even easier when someone's being rude to someone I care about. I've just heard a few say she's pretty big for a yorkie. That was when she was 6.9lbs.-under breed standard! Now she's 8lbs.-ish. Guess I can't use that anymore.
