| I agree that people don't understand until you have one, my husband grew up in the country where you had "real dogs" his words not mine. I have always wanted a teacup yorkie and he has always been resistant to this idea. this summer I finally talked him into it and I swear he loves the dog more than I do (if that is even possible). people at his work always tell him our dog isn't a real dog and he defends Samson all the time. He loves our little one so much we are getting another one next month.

| I've had a few people make comments when I'm out with Chloe. They seem to think because I have a small dog I must have a small brain as well . I try not to let them bother me. I usually just let them think they have outsmarted me with their quick wit about my dog being the equivalent of a rat. But sometimes I give a little smile , shake my head and kind of giggle with a look on my face that lets them know I think they are nothing more than a complete and total idiot while I walk away. I do have one comment that I have yet been brave enough to use...The next time someone says to me ..."That doesn't look like a real dog" I want to say ..."Well my dog doesn't think you look like much of man ( or woman) , and I happen to agree with my dog "

Thor's Human Donating Member | Thanks, everyone. You're right, at the end of the day, *I'm* the one with the yorkie! Thor did get a few compliments from other people in the park, so I know it shouldn't let it bother me. I was just somewhat taken aback by someone being so rude about my dog. I'm wondering if he was a bit deaf, and didn't realize he was shouting "well, I guess you could put him in your pocket" right in front of Thor's human. It was also kind of annoying because there were two other yorkies there, and of course I knelt down and told them how adorable they were. I'm really trying to help Thor get more confidence around other dogs, so it was a bummer to feel like we weren't welcome. I hope that's the exception at this park rather than the rule. chloesMama, ha! You're right, maybe playing dumb is best. I should have asked what the minimum weight requirement is for real dogs. I mean, there's no doubt, his size is comical sometimes. He went after a raven the other day that was easily four times bigger than him, and the raven was like, are you kidding me? But only his mama gets to make fun of him! Last edited by QuickSilver; 01-14-2009 at 12:51 AM. |

One time we were flying home from the fort myers airport and we were coming off the elevator with Pasquale. Some lady turned around and gasped "oh my i thought that was a rat"...i sorta just smiled at her and said "You should have heard what he said about you". My husband says i always have some sort of quicky witty comeback......and i always tell him its cause I've been married to him for 13 years LoL
