While my girls were getting their shots today (Gracie went too), there were 2 ladies in the vet's office at the counter waiting to be seen, now referred to as lady #1 and lady #2.

ANYWAY, both women turned to look at my dogs. Lady #2 turns to lady #1 and says, "What kind of dogs are those?" Lady #1 replied, "yorkies." Lady #2 says and she looking at Gracie, "Wow, she is a big!" I'm like, hello, she only weighs 5 1/2 lbs (and that's because of all the extra food I've been feeding her!) Then, lady #2 looks again and says, "Those puppies are REALLY BIG!" I replied, "Well, that because they have very little time to reach their full size." Mind you these 4 girls weigh 1-2 lbs so it's not like their sasquatches or something.

It really amazes me the ignorance of some people when it comes to yorkies. This woman didn't even know what breed they were to begin with and then she pops off with comments like that????? I wanted to poke her in the eyes to clear her vision a little!!!!!
