I have been hearing that for 35 + years, I agree cute conversation starters and never take offense. When Cody starts acting like Cujo in a pet store I say you are a snack for that big guy. Short story,years ago my brother showed, breed St Bernards, I at that time was a Poodle lover, he would make fun of my Poodle every chance he had, made comments about my dog being a snack for his dogs. THEN my sister-in-law got for herself a Shih Tzu named her Honey. I went to visit them to see their new addition (my brother at that time was a broom stick up the butt NYC Da Bronx tough cop) I walk in their house to find my (tough Bronx cop brother) laying on the living room floor calling "Honey come to daddy" I cracked up, asked my sister if he had a job related mental break down. Honey became my brother's "Daddy's lil Girl" lol. People that have had big dogs don't know there are big dogs hidden in small bodies, don't know what it's like to have a small dog climb onto your lap, snuggle and give kisses. My brother became a small dog owner after his first lil Honey. Don't let other ppl comments bother you, I am sure they are not meant to be rude. I smile and agree lol, to me it's just a joke. I know rudeness when I hear it.
