Okay I don't have a pet peeve, but I heard something this summer, that I thought was funny, creative and cute.
Razz was in swimming on a hot and busy summer day at Kelso (a closeby conservation park), I was back a bit watching him go out to retreive the toy and as he was swimming back; one lady said to the other lady, "what does he have on his hair?", the lady confidently replies; oh Those are mini flotation devices.! I about cracked up, they were his wraps of course. I didn't bother to correct "that experts response".
Yes I've had the "rat comment" particularly when he is swimming; he is almost always referred to as a she IDK perhaps because of the wraps, or when he is showing all that long gorgeous hair and a sparkly topknot bow.
I've never had anyone try to pick him up, I have had kids run straight up to him, and I merely step in front of him and put out my hand to stop the kids.
Of course for me, some of the reasons might be that I'm often out in the company of my big boy Magic. It may have something to do with either the no comments or the derogatory small dog comments; as it is obvious I own both.
What I'd really love to do is get a mini harness and sulkie made for Razzle and he can pull that out on our walks lmao
