I love my dog and I am proud of him, but I am either mortified or annoyed when people stop me to talk about teacups, asking who his breeder is or wanting to pet him. I guess I am just used to walking my Lab mix. No one gave her a second look even though she was 1000x smarter and more friendly toward strangers than Stewie - I guess she just wasn't as "cute" and "trendy" so she didn't get oohh'd over.
I love showing off pics of him at work or school. I have a ton
I also email pics to friends and family once a week - like he's my child
