Come again??? I was reading another thread...and decided to start this one. If and when someone rudely says something ugly or negative about your dog, what do you come back with? My jerk of a father-in-law makes rude comments about my dogs everytime he comes over. He pets them, talks to them and then will tell me..."These are the ugliest dogs I've ever seen". I know that he only says it to get under my skin and I've learned to not let my anger show...since that is what he is striving for. He owns 3 bird dogs...that are kept outside 24/7 and only let out of their 1/2 acre pen when he takes them hunting. One is being treated for heartworms as I speak. They are given ZERO attention and their only human contact is when they are fed in the evenings. Anyway, so what do YOU say when someone is being ugly? |
I would say with a smile "Yeah they take after your side of the family when it comes to looks!" See how he likes the "JOKE" |
Nothing.. you're right he's just doing it to get a rise out of you. I usually ignore people when they make comments to me.. they want a reaction. All the matters is how I feel about my dog, not them. ;) |
Sorry to hear...:( I would probably just the let comment pass or if you really need to say something, I would paste a nice big fake smile and say "if you have nothing nice to say please keep it to yourself". Good luck with the in-law. |

I usually think...idiot. Who cares what idiots think? Not me. |
I would say, "Have you looked in the mirror recently?" With a smile, of course. :) |
When my sister and her (horrible) boyfriend came round on Sunday and saw Twinkle for the first time her horrible boyf said: 'Why did u buy that horrible ratty looking little thing?' He went on to brag about his bull mastiff x rottweiler and what a 'mans' dog he was. When my hubby asked how much he paid for him and and he said £1200 my hubby asked: 'Wouldn't it have been cheaper to stuff a sock down your trousers?' :D |

If your avatar is one of your babies that he's talking about he is just trying to work a nerve. Let me tell you that dog isn't just a cutie but she is (in my opinion) absolutly beautiful. I often take a longer look at her picture and i would swoop her up in a second. |

I never rise to rude comments either. I've never felt that someone was being truly nasty, how could they? We know the truth and they're just jealous:D Of course I get the old rat comment alot and I just smile and say "what can I say? I'm a rat lover!":D I've never had a comeback from that:D |
