She said that and you didn't mess up her hair? Lol. Just kidding.
I probably wouldn't have held my tongue when she said that so I am not the best to take advice from. I mean she likes rats and tarantulas. And thinks a Yorkie is gross. Come on now. I would have said something like, well my Yorkie would kill your rat. Ha ha. See I don't need to give any advice on this thread.
