Lady: Shes cute
Me: Thanks
Lady: What is she?
Me: A yorkie
My grandma: Yep a bigger yorkie
Lady: Yeah shes fat
I was so shocked I just stood there so was my grandma we just looked at each other and the lady walk away. Callie is not fat she might be a tiny bit Chubby but is not fat! I used to read how some of the things you could say back to people when there rude but one my anxiety really sorta keeps me from doing that and I was just to shocked to even think. Why do people say things so rude like that? It really bothers me because I was picked on in school for being fat and I cannot believe some one called my baby that it makes me so upset. I thought after we got into the car my grandma was gonna go back inside and give her a piece of her mind after she had a minute to think. |
I've come to realise that people are really the same the world over. I don't know if people are getting nastier, or more blunt, or have nothing better to do - but it's a horrible trend that seems to be developing and I'm so sorry that you had to go through this
I would far rather people be rude to me, than to one of my dogs. And I always can think of some wonderful responses - when I get home aaargh!
Keep your chin up, keep smiling - and just know that your Callie is one of the most beautiful Yorkies that I have ever seen. Sally + Harry x
