I don't mind most of the time. I think it's a good opportunity to educate these people about Yorkies and dogs in general. You can tell who is experianced with dogs and who's not. For the ones who are not I let them know Jazzie is very friendly but the best way to approach a dog they don't know is to _____ and I'm done. My walks around a 1/2 mile block usually takes us about an hour because we get stopped but I enjoy the conversation as much as Jazzie like the attention.
My greatest joy comes from children who are scared of dogs and helping them realize not all dogs are scary. The look of surprise, joy, pride in their little face is priceless when they first touch Jazzie soft hair or get their first doggie kiss! |
