I have stopped taking mine to Petco and Petsmart. 1st, I 'm not sure the dogs in there have had all their shots and there are alot a people in there with new puppies that they have just picked up. They might have kennel cough or coccidia (I'm not being mean but I know I was an unsuspecting buyer that ended up with a sick puppy). It upsets me when people jump right in to touch or pet mine. Once in Petsmart a woman reach into the cart to pick up Bubba when he was a puppy but I stopped her real quick by saying "I wouldn't touch him if I were you, he just puked int he car and he got some on him. I need to take him home and give him a bath". She dropped her hands quick! Mine are very friendly-people and animal and they love attention. They love little kids and seek them out-especially ones with candy and ice cream. But they are just so darn cute you can't help but want to pet them. I know I am guilty at times. Over Thanksgiving we were in Wa. and out looking at eagles, I saw a family camping that had a yorkie and talked to the owners from a distance, the yorkie was protecting the camper;). I wish I had asked if they were members here. |

"Beauty is not in the eyes of the beholder but comes from within the heart." I truely believe all dogs are beautiful, regardless of their breed. I know exactly how you feel about Sophie, our Prairie Bea is very tiny, she is wiggly like Sophie, I just tell people no when they want to hold her. We have to really hold onto her our selves, you are a great mom, and keep up the good task of caring for your baby. God gives them to us for love and protection and entrusts them into our loving care, others don't seem to understand that but that's okay. Jack and I want to wish you a Blessed Christmas and His many blessings and joys in the coming New Year. Hugs, Patti and Jack |
Thank you all for you nice responses, it makes me more comfortable about taking my Sophie out in public. I think the lady at Petsmart who made that "stupid" comment was just a big old grouch and having a cute puppy in the same room as her probably set her off more. Again thank you all, Sophie and I appreciate it. |
Some people are just Some people are just plain rude and most of the time they dont know what they are talking about! I get comments about tiny Gina ,too. They ask me that she is not a purebred because she has kind of bulging eyes and foxy snout. I always defend my daughters. Boobah is a blue steel yorkie. She didnt start out like that, she was the original gold and brown. Then she turned champagned colored in the face and the rest of her body is silver. Dont let anyone get on your nerves about your dog. The majority of the time when I take tiny Gina to the park I get raves about her. She is my darling daugher! What else can I say?:) |
I have being very lucky, so far, no rude comments just yet. But what that lady did I think was out of jealousy cause she wanted one just like yours. |
The Public So far in taking Molly out, it has been to visit my son's at their schools. They're in residential schools right now to address their issues. They are both autistic. It is unfortunately a disability that you can't see like blindness, etc. Instead it shows up in behavioral ways. such as when they become overstimulated and react by having tantrums. You should see the looks and comments I get from that. My boys are 10 and 13, so of course people look at me when they react that way. I've learned to read them for their triggers, etc to help ward off meltdowns. but I'm not always successful. These are also the same people who treat you like public property while pregnant. I can't tell you the number of times strangers would come up touching and feeling my abdomen to "feel" the baby. I was so shocked, that the initial times I was speechless. Then they would proceed to ask all sorts of what I consider private questions; such as was this planned or an accident? Unbelievable! With Molly though, the kids ask me first if they can pet her. Molly just eats up the attention. And my son just proudly beams over her. And, I hear from both the kids and the staff how cute they think she is. So far I haven't run into anyone rude or overly aggressive (picking her up without asking). People who would try and/or do pick Molly up would scare me: first by worrying about them dropping her and second, theft. I would never allow anyone except family and close friends to pick her up. I just don't trust strangers with my dog. I would feel upset by that woman's rude comment too. But I would console myself with the fact that usually people who do that are insecure themselves over the same thing(s) they "attacked" you over. They do it to make themselves feel better. Take comfort in that the majority of people do like yorkies and think that they're cute and can sometimes be a little zealous about it. And, that we here at yorkietalk will always feel that she is adorable and perfect just the way she is. Carolyn |
I think you've gotten some really good advice here. It is a more common issue than I would have thought. For me one of the Perks of living in another country is this. If anyone says something rude to me...I don't understand it! haha:) My German is very limited so unless I understand a word or two, I generally just smile and say (in german) " I'm sorry i only speak a little german i didnt understand" I have yet to have an English rude comment though so we'll see...:rolleyes: |
Hi, folks We get fed up of ignorant comments about Lucy, too. Quite often, though, they're from 'friends', who will joke about her saying things like "gimme a bread bun so I can have a hot dog" or "caution - escaped rat". They think they're sooooo funny, but Lucy doesn't care - she just relishes being the centre of attention, and she knows they love her really. Even the big macho men fawn over her! |
I had a friend watching my Suzi, and she took her for a walk one day. I found out later that a woman kept telling my friend that Suzi was not a yorkie either. Because she has too much gray on the top of her head. OH brother, I though, people are so damn ignorant. I have not ever had anyone tell me about Suzi, and I think it is so dumb for peolpe to want to say stuff that they do not even know what they are talking about. it did bother me though, so I know how you feel. just try and shrug it off as the person was ignorant to the Yorkie breed. It is more imporatant the love you feel for your Yorkie and connection that matters the most. The rest of the crap , is just that BS . Do not take it personally. You know your Dog, and where you got him/her from. It actually is not anyone's else's business , and that is the truth. |
