Hi Dina_Nichole. That's gotta be hard. Even if you know that the person is just plain crazy and it shouldn't bother you it still gets under you skin doesn't it. Your kids are adora-puppy. No one has ever said mean things about my babies (to my face). I just have no idea how I would cope in that situation. Dina_Nichole you so did the best thing - I wouldn't have been able to think that quickly about the book - and I would have been sorely tempted to use it to "make an impression".
Brownies Mom - You need to move out to NZ 95% of people don't know what a yorkie should look like. Everyone just says CUTE! when they see my two.
I have to explain to most people that 6.5lb Dixie is in fact nearly the breed maximum size-wise and Dougal's a freak of nature at 13.5lbs. Everyone asks if Dixie's a puppy or a miniature of the breed. LOL
Only one (non-yorkie owning) person has ever come up to me and said "that's the biggest yorkie I've ever seen" of Dougal.
