Obviously she loves her dog or she wouldn't have been shopping with him at Pet Smart. I do understand how she could be disappointed that her dog was larger and had floppy ears yet still love him. Once you have them, you can't help loving them.
It does sound like she knew what she was getting though when she said that she wanted one like that but didn't want to spend the money.

This trip I got two little shirts for Ruthie that ACTUALLY FIT! And they're CUTE! By the time I got to the checkout, I had a pretty full cart... and I actually kindof gasped when the girl told me my total... $360 later...  I bought a new pen, cleaners, supplies, stuff for the gift exchange  and of course some special treats for Oscar and Ruthie. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts, but I LOVE shopping for my dogs!
Anyways, while I was standing at the checkout, I was holding Ruthie and Oscar was poking his head out of the celltei which was in the cart - a lady who also had a yorkie stopped and ooohed and ahhhed at Ruthie, then at Oscar when she realized I had two. She asked where they came from, how much I paid for them, blah blah blah... She then goes on to say that "that was what she wanted - a small one" but that she didn't want to spend that kind of money. She looked soooo disappointed with her dog! Her dog was CUTE - she had floppy ears and was by no means a BIG dog - looked like a standard size yorkie to me. This lady actually said "hmph... oh well" when she walked away... OH WELL? WOW, this lady couldn't even hide her disappointment! Just because she wasn't tiny? I'm sure she loves her dog, but geez! |
