[Baby Teddy]

Here is a teacup question situation that happened to me recently. I live in NYC and there are a TON of yorkies. Teddy loves spotting other yorkies and runs up to them. About 3 months ago Teddy ran up to a yorkie that was much larger than him and the owner became very hostile toward me. This is how the situation played out: Teddy spots the yorkie and in typical Teddy fashion sprints toward runs up to the yorkie the sniff each other tangle leashes etc. The owner says to me..."ohh he is a puppy? He is tiny". I respond and say, "he is 8 months." Her response, "Is he a teacup?" My response, "No." Her response, "Well how big is he expected to get." I respond "the vet said he would be around 4 lbs fully grown.". Her response (no joke) is a shrill nasty laugh followed by "ohh well your vet is lying to you...thats what they told me about her and she is 10lbs...she was once his size. If you didn't spend the money to buy a teacup there is no way he will be 4lbs fully grown". My jaw literally hit the floor and it took me about a minute to compose myself before responding. I said, "excuse me? I did not pay for a teacup because there is no such thing as a teacup. And for the record, I personally do not care how big or small my dog is because I love him just the same no matter what the size." She then grabs her dog huffs and walks away. Clearly someone was having a bad day!
