So, I go into my vet's office to get some Frontline Plus. Even with treated lawn, we've gotten a couple of fleas...YUCK! So, there is a young couple in there that has a yorkie in their lap...a small one ("teacup"). I told the receptionist that I wanted ONE tube and to please do the calculations on doses so that I could take care of all 3 dogs with 1 tube ($19) instead of buying 3 tubes ($57). The receptionist asked for the weights of my dogs. I tell her, "Rebel is 4 1/2 lbs and Gracie & London are 5 1/2 lbs".

OMG!!!!!! I hear these stupid people talking to their dog..."Well, you're not near as big as her dogs! She's got BIG dogs! You're a tiny!!" WTF?????

Okay...this isn't the first time this has happened. I remember taking Gracie in to a vet around 10 months of age. She weighed 4 1/2 lbs. This lady said, "WOW! She's HUUUUUGE!"

So, back to today...I bit my tongue and didn't show my a$$ like I wanted to but someone PLEASE tell me! Since the craze of owning tinies or "teacups", people think that 4 - 4 1/2 lb dogs are sasquatches or something. Since when is a 4 1/2 lb dog a BIG dog???? Sometimes, I just want to slap the **** out of stupid people!

4 1/2 and 5 1/2 lbs are HUGE? They are well within the Yorkie standard......what a strange thing to say, not to mention Rude...
