It really bugs me too when people say things like that!
the other day i took Bria out to potty and this older man was also out there walking his dog. Bria and I were on one side of the street they were on the other side. His dog wanted to come over and say Hi to Bria but he said NOOO (whatever his dog's name was) you can't over there she will bit your ankles off

Here is a picture of a man with a real dog

We dont care what people say, do we my baby.

I hate, hate, HATE the rat comments. That one bothers me the most. We have one 7lb yorkie and one under 3lbs. I get tired of hearing our small one called a rat..... haha of course then I get annoyed when at the dog park everyone there (usually dog lovers of course - and in the small dog section) all flock to our small one and ohh and awe her, ignore my "big" 7lb one. Poor guy only gets attention if our little one isn't around lol

I think it is so funny because my boyfriend is the one that wanted a yorkie not me I wanted a pomeranian. But now that I have Tobie, I think Yorkies are the best breed EVER!! I love it when Richie (bf) takes Tobie out on walks and plays with him, to me its the cutest thing.

OMG! I totally know what you mean. My own mother-in-law said "that's not a real dog" to me! I was furious! She owns an Airdale. He's a moose! Talk about real dogs

sheesh!

Girl, you are after my own heart!
We must be sisters in a previous life, cause I was just thinking that!!!

CouversMom · 03-22-2009, 09:56 AM

That would piss me off!! I haven't gotten that from strangers, but my brother in-law likes to joke about how his giant mutt would eat my Couver. I just laugh it off, but I want to tell him all the good things about my boy (no slobber, chewing, shedding, smell, no knocking things off the coffee table and jumping on the counter...). Haha. And plus, I don't need a dog for protection, I have my 6'4" 280 DH

People are so rude!! I was at petsmart yesterday and I was talking to my friend over at banfield vet ( i use to work there....sad I know) and this couple was walking by and I heard him say " look hun he looks like a little rat" Oh my gosh!! I was sooo mad...I was more mad just bc of everything you guys say about your stories too so that just added to my madness.. Then the couple had enough nerve to try to pet peanut!!! HaHa Peanut was on his retractable harness and leash....I was watching in the corner of my eye and just when they got close enough to touch peanut I pulled him in haha..the lady said under her breath " isnt that rude" then I was steaming at this point and I said " why do you want to pet a rat??? I said " anyone who calls my baby a rat doesnt derserve to pet him! and I picked peanut up and turned my back to them

I felt bad for peanut bc he LOVES everyone and he didnt understand why they couldnt pet him hehe... Anywho people aer just rude!!

Tobie and I went to this kite doggy thing at the park today. We had a really good time but this man mad me sooo mad! We were walking and there were these people standing in the middle of the walk path talking, Tobie went between them and I went around them. So Tobie's leash went around the man and I was trying to get Tobie without interrupting their conversation. Well the man turn around and said to me "if you had a REAL dog I would have noticed him" he wasn't joking the tone of his voice was very offensive. I just hate it when people that I don't know make those type of comments like "thats not a dog" or " what is that a rat?" I just think it is very uncalled for. Anyways...just had to vent.[/FONT]

See I am just so fed up with rude people and have decided that if they feel it necessary to make rude comments to me, I've no problem replying, in my sweetest-dripping with sugar southern accent, "Well bless your little heart, are you having fun on your day out from the rock you live under?"

But in this case I'd probably say something like, "What kind of a REAL man isn't aware of his surroundings and allows himself to become tangled up by a fu-fu little dog? Well see, that's the key word, isn't it. No REAL man would." Say it with a smile and that look of pity you use when dealing with people of smaller minds.

The one that made me stop and say something back was when this man old enough to know better said "look a mop with legs" and I said do you think your funny or are you looking for trouble. He turned his back on me and walked away. Some people don't have a HEPA filter between their brains and their mouth.

LibbieLu08 · 03-23-2009, 06:31 AM

O M G ! ! I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL! Every time I bring her around people say some stupid stuff like that. I just HATE HATE HATE IT! Its usually the stupid ignorant people!

OMG! I have so many people do that. Ew... look at the rat! Then a few seconds later they take a good look at her and realize how cute she is then asks...can I hold her/pet her. UGH!! People these days!

I have been fortunate enough not to have run into idiotic people .... however when I do , I would not let them bother me . Because they are strangers, and are clueless. My Suzi is very friendly and loves everybody. She goes up to just about anyone to say hello, if I let her. Most people find her to be delightful. But, if there is someone who is going to be rude, then I'd just walk away. Really, if they can't stand a cute little dog coming over to say hi to them, without being ugly, then IMO there is something very wrong with them.

OUr Yorkie's are not rats, or anything else insulting people want to call them. Don't let it bother you. Ignore it, and walk away. You have a beautiful, sweet little yorkie and this is what matters most of all.
