♥ Mama's Boy ♥ Donating Member | "If that was a REAL dog" The whole "your dog is big" thing doesn't bother me, Tobie is 5 lbs and is taller then some yorkies, I just don't care if they think he is big or not, he is healthy and perfect to me. 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.

| People just don't understand Here's a suggestion for the next time you run into someone that has something rude to say..."Please don't say D*O*G* outloud, he doesn't know that he's not a person and I don't want to hurt his feelings |

♥ Mama's Boy ♥ Donating Member | Thats a good one, I was just caught of guard, I didn't even say one thing, I am sure my face said what I was thinking though.

| Ugh i hate when people make comments like that. I was in a pet store and some older woman had a german shepherd and this other guy was helping his wife out with their two yorkies. The older woman (who couldn't handle the dog anyway) said... what's with men and these prissy lil dogs and we women have these big manly dogs. I hate when people do things like that... they don't think men can have small dogs. Also, I took my dog and my bf's dog to a dog park. And there were two guys with big dogs walking behind us... one of them said what's the point of having a small dog? Wouldn't you want a dog that you could actually do stuff with and have protect you. But, his friend said to him, "well not really, it just depends on the situation and not all people want a big dog or have room for one." I like that he defended small dogs... in a way.

| I always say, "This dog doesn't shed or stink." That gives them a little taste of their own medicine.

| I have a rather sharp tongue. I probably would have said "If you were a REAL man, you'd have enough manners to step off the walking path to hold your conversation." And I probably would have said it aloud, too. (My hubby hates it when I do that, but if someone opens the door to rudeness, I sometimes will step through...)

| My son who is 35, 6feet 4 inches and 275lbs, is a long distance tractor trailer driver who takes his dog Butch everywhere with him. Well Butch is a cute as a bug, 4 lb chihuahua. Butch guards the truck when Bill has to get out etc.... Well Last weekend my son was up visiting with Butch and Bill was playing with my two dogs, Zeke the Lhasa and Baxter the yorkie. After a little while I hear Bill say to Baxter, "you know little guy, when I don't have Butch anymore I just might get a guy just like you"... He is just to funny. He has worked with rotties, and Sharpeas (wrong spelling). But he would rather have the little ones, and it is so neat to see these huge hands that he has, hold and cuddle the little dogs.

| that was incredibly rude and insensitive. I get the "is that a rat" comment from people all the time and I get so insulted. |
