It takes all kinds to make a world, but even so this one is strange!!

with a yorkie under her arm, 2 1/2 pounds. No teeth. States that is because previous owners only fed it junk food so it lost all of it's teeth.
Then proceeds to feed it hard candy from this cup we have sitting on the counter, that is at least 8 months old.
Then licks her finger, dips it back into the cup and then puts it in her mouth.
On and on. She ends up having a ring (the lady) of hard candy around her mouth. Not kidding.
Then asks if my yorkies are tiny like her yorkie and tells me she always takes her dog out to eat fast food.
I not a member here, but guessing by her behavior, highly doubtful.

Hope you threw out the rest of the candy! YUK!! Another goofball.

Unfortunately...just like with children...they don't have to have a license to be a parent. There should be at least some kind of common sense clause to having children and any kind of living breathing pet.

I agree

Ugh! I was watching that show "It's me or the dog" last night, and there were three seperate cases of extremely overweight dogs. One was a Chihuahua that was supposed to be between 2-6 pounds, but was a whopping 11 pounds!! The trainer proceeded to say how sad it was since obesity is a "human" problem, not a "dog" problem. The owners gave him all kinds of fattening treats, along with table scraps of all types (his favorite being Indian food!) As if this wasn't bad enough, this poor dog was given grapes, candy, and even chocolate!! The saddest part of all is these people think they are being so "nice" to their dogs, but in reality, they are slowly killing them. So sad!!

No doubt.
Yeah this lady was all, are your yorkies as tiny as mine and I am thinking my yorkies are nothing like yours, they have teeth and are well groomed.
Then she went on and on how expensive yorkies are and almost insisting to know what I paid and how I afforded it...um, a - none of your business, b - I have a job.
Nutty.

I totally agree!!!! Some people shouldn't be allowed to have children or pets!
