|  A person cringed when they saw Bailey today! Okay, this freaked me out, I had a bag for sale and this one lady was dropping by to have a look at it. I was at my boyfriends and since I knew she was coming, and his two dogs are barkers, I kept them in a room with the door closed, but I had Bailey up in my arms when I answered the door, everybody that I've ever met has always been delighted to see him and shows him lots of love and attention and he just basks in it! Well I opened the door and when the lady saw Bailey she took a step back, kind of put her arms up to her chest and just cringed, and the look of disgust on her face blew me away  I told her that he is very friendly and does not bite, she answered " I really don't like them, I can't stand dogs!" I've never encountered this before, holy cow, how can you not like my precious little Bailey I've met people who preferred cats over dogs, etc, but never anyone who totally detested them! I never want to meet another person like her again, she left the worse taste in my mouth. K..glad I got that out, it really ticked me off!!

| There is an old saying... Don't trust anybody who doesnt like dogs... and I believe that. Especially Yorkies. I am not sure how anybody could ever blame a certain animal for a bad experience, I know I dont. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners. If they dont like dogs, they cant be trusted. I would have said "Well, we have something in common, I dont really like people, in fact, I dont really like you."

| Well, I had a similiar experience at a store but I guess it didn't bother me but I did giggle. My mom cannot have a dog (or any animal) near her. When she was younger walking to school she got bitten by a dog with rabies. Not only did that tramautize her but the shot (a bunch around her umbilical)were awful. She loves them in pictures but one near her will send her running. Funny and sad

| I have a friend who is terrified of dogs...mine were at a party that she was at also (another friend's daughter's birthday), and mine were sitting doing nothing. she told me "i guess yours aren't bad...", but when my SUPER shy Tank decided to smell her baby's toes, she was like "oh no! don't touch the baby!!!!" Holy crap...it's the toes, and he didn't lick them, just gave them a little sniff..my poor baby was scared by her, and I'm sure it made us go another step back in our work to get him to trust people. GRRR! I haven't ever heard of anyone cringing at the sight of a Yorkie though, just doesn't make sense, does it?

| I've seen this a lot. Some people don't like snakes. Some people don't like spiders. Some people don't like cats. Some people don't like dogs. It is what it is. |

| The only thing that freaks me out is spiders, any kind of creepy crawly really, but cute cuddly beautiful little furbutts, I can't imagine ever disliking them!
