Victim of "oh my word, she's so big" and first grooming story
 

This weekend was the first time my Bella fell victim to this. Little boy and his mom walks into the groomers (Bella's first grooming) they have two yorkies with them, they are tiny ones, I must admit but I thought they just had longer hair than Bella to be quite honest. I ask how old their yorkies are and they say over a year old, boy asks me how old Bella is and I say she is 19 weeks old, which makes her almost 5 months old, and he says " oh my word, she is big hey, but she is very friendly" Ofcourse she is friendly, she is still a puppy. I'm really not worried whether people think she is big or small but wish people would keep their comments to themselves.

I understand that he is a young boy and probably does not know any better.

Either way I think my baby is the cutest :D

She went for her first grooming this weekend, I warned the groomer that she is a feisty little girl who definately does not like having her nails cut. I went to pick her up from the groomer who told me that she has sharp teeth, hahaha, she nipped her while cutting her nails.

She looked super cute and pics are in my album if you would like to see. The hair on her ears were cut so short, now they are standing straight as arrows.

:)

I just want to say I LOVE MY YORKIE :)

Why does it upset you if someone says your yorkie is 'big'? Is it because they say it in a negative manner as if they are talking 'down' on your baby? just curious...This size 'obsession' is getting a bit ridiculous in my opinion.:rolleyes:
I'm sorry you felt upset...but i'm sure your baby is looking beautiful...going to check out those pictures!;)

Awe, sorry u had to hear that. Bella is a cutie pie! I tell ya, wish ppl would just practice the rule of thumb of, if u don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! i am a victim of the other end, 'how come she's so little?' 'is she a teacup?' What?! i m thinking, i don't look at u and say; how come ur so skinny/fat/ugly?!?! hahaha

Thats what I thought, I think the size thing is ridiculous too, as I said I really dont care if she is big or small, I love her either way, just that its like they look down at her coz she is big??? Why not just give a normal comment like I did, "ah they are so cute" thats what I said to his mom about their babies.

She weighs 1.9kgs now and I'm glad she is healthy and fiesty, thats probably why she gets spoilt so much.
:animal-pa

Just wanted to add...if it makes you feel any better! that I have a tiny, and she gets alot of negative comments from 'Runt' to 'Rat'...people just think they can take the p**s just because she's so little...just put it down to pure ignorance and plain ol jealousy!;)

Wow, have not heard that in ages, take the p!ss, was in the UK for a two years about 3 years ago.

Oh I would cause bodily harm if someone called Bella a rat or runt, that is just plain rude...Cant believe some people.

Try to close Pixie's ears for that...she is absolutely gorgeous btw :D

Awww she looks cute with her hair cut. Wow..look how nice her ears are!!

People have made that comment to me before (Jackson is 10 pounds nearly at 5 months) but I take zero offense to it. Most people tell me "I like them that size better!"

LOL...sometimes I say things on here and forget that it may sound a bit 'odd' in my English way! Like the other day...I posted that I had given my hubby 'Bangers & Mash' for tea (sausages and mashed potatoes) I bet alot of you didn't know what I was going on about!:p
And thankyou for the compliment on Pixie..she is very special to me:)

Your baby is so cute too...

I think ALL yorkies are adorable! :aimeeyork want to kiss them to smithers :)

Hehehe, I would have understood, many a night I ate that in London...in RSA(think its the same in the USA) we call your "tea" dinner, that confused the hell out of me when I was in UK. I could not understand...

Wow, its 22h00 here now, Bella is passed out on the couch next to me :D

You said it was her first visit to the groomer how was that?!
I still haven't taking Bria...I'm scared of getting that call
"sorry but we nicked Bria" :eek:
I think Bella is wicked cute!! :D:animal36

Well she is 19 weeks old now, I tried my hand at cutting her nails myself, but alas, she would not sit still and I was so scared I might hurt her so I had to take her to the groomer... I want her hair to grow so told them only a little itty bitty trim...

Thanks, I love her with all my heart, I'm amazed at how she melts my heart with one little look :)

She has recently found her bark :) so cute!

Nicked???:confused:

people always commented on how big charlie is. He is a teapot. My hubby's friend and his wife came over to look at charlie. They have a yorkie too who is over 1 year old. They were amazed at how big charlie is compared to their yorkie. When they first saw charlie they were like "wow he is so big. Did guys see the parents before you got him? Was he advertised as a teacup?" So I have to explained to them about where and who we got charlie from. Yes the hubby saw his parents and fell in love with his parents that is why he got charlie. We don't care about his size.
