I'm impulsive. If I were you, I would've asked them point blank, "why on EARTH would you say that to another person's dog?". That is just rude to the rudest extent.

When I take Mocha and Lulu for walks, thankfully no one came out and said anything bad yet. But if they said something to that effect, I would ask if they have dogs too, if they say yes, i will ask what breed, and no matter what breed they answer with, i will ask them how would they feel if i say that about their dogs. If they answer no they don't have dogs, then I will tell them they have no right to offer their opinions.

My stepdad actually says Mocha looks like a mongrel.. I tell him Mocha is way more good looking than him. He tells me Lulu (my mom's dog, a shihtzu) is so pretty. I say you have no right to take pride in that, you have never brushed or bathed her a day in her life. He says why didnt you pick a better looking dog.. I say Mocha is beautiful to me, and you are ugly to me. :rolleye:

I just think if they have a bad opinion, they should keep it to themselves. Why would you deliberately hurt another person's feeling? I don't believe anyone that says anything like that don't mean bad. They probably know they are hurting your feelings, they just don't care, or they take pleasure in that. Well, if that's the case, then I pity them. They will never know the real pleasure of owning dogs.. cute or not cute. All dogs are beautiful to me, because they have the same kind of friendly soul.

I definitely like dogs better than people. :D

I think Max is very, very cute. Mocha used to have one ear flopped down. It stood up after I shaved the ears, but even if it didn't, I would love her the same, probably more, because I know there will be others who will say she is ug** or not the standards or something, and that means she will need more love from me. I can't imagine having more love for her, but you get my point :)

Unfortunately some people just do not think about what they say or how it may come across to others. These are usually the people who are the MOST sensitive when it comes to what others might say to them;). I wouldn't let it get to you, your baby's adorable:)

:)
 

Your baby is beautiful. What an adorable little cutie! The one ear up and one down adds character and adds to his cuteness. Don't let it bother you too much. People just tend to think without speaking. Mindless. I know how you feel I've had Odie for three years, he is not a yorkie he's a terrier mix though, and everyone, everyone tells me he's the ugliest dog they've ever seen. It used to really bother me, and still makes me angry sometimes. But to me Odie is so cute, and sweet and he's mine. He loves me and I love him and we know it. :) And thats all that matters. So, don't take it to heart, like I said people are just senseless thinkers sometimes. Here's my Odie.

I think maybe it makes them feel better about themselves to say things like that! Don't you listen to that nonsense...he is just a little cutie pie :thumbup:

aaawwww how cute is Max? He is adorable! Don't let that woman get to you! What does she know about cuteness??? NOTHING! :)

Great idea!!!:thumbup: Because she said it again today at work:mad::mad: I didn't have time as I was walking out of the room. ( I just don't understand her ):mad::mad: I have never said anthing about her dogs, or her kids.

A:mad:nd another thing he just wanted to kiss her.:p:p

Yea, who cares what other think. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Funny, men like to call small dogs Rats. :rolleyes:.. I always call my baby ratface..hehe.. Call em what you like. He only answers to me..HAHA..

:p

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Your coworker is trying to make you feel bad. If you are on "good terms" chalk it up to her own personality flaw, be it tactlessness, jealousy, or an inferiority complex. This is how I also feel about some people who persist on calling a yorkie a "rat" when they know (or perhaps BECAUSE they know) it's offensive to the owner.

I think the ears are adorable! Miles has HUGE ears for his size, and I think they're perfect. People comment on them all the time--almost always they're postivie comments. But I've heard a couple rude comments as well. My favorite was right here on YT...someone said that my dog was "really cute despite his ears". DESPITE?????? GRRRRRRR!!!!!

I think he's adorable. I would have been furious too.

I would say "And we could put you in an ugly people contest!"

your dog is adorable.. and that girl is a BBB:animal-pa

what a cute doggie:animal36

me too
 

alley has the same problems 2 her right ear stays limped over like that all the time my aunt says that it should stick up and that she looks ugly like that i told i dont care what u think cause she is my baby and i love her just the way she is i think that it just adds to the cuteness u should'nt let that get to u, u should have told her to be quiet cause it isn't her baby and she needed to keep her rude comments to her self because u did not have to be nice and invite her in u did it out of the kindness of your heart hang inthere sunshine:)
