BUT the first vision that came to mind when I read your post was seeing little Missy out there in the prettiest little T-Shirt with the saying.... and I don't mean to offend anyone... "Mean People Suck" written on it...

Hahahahha...LOVE IT! I do wonder if the laughing is not only because she is little, but because of the fact that I dress her well. I mean, it's pretty bad when a dog is dressed better than you are

Missy makes me look bad sometimes...

The best things come in small packages! Wouldn't that be a true saying for a Yorkie? Or you could be downright mean back (which I'm sure I'd never muster up enough guts to say) My dog may be small but your a large a**hole! That might take the wind out of their sails.

"OMG why would you put your dog in that sweater? I think that is SO cruel. It doesn't look comfortable."

"It's 30 degrees out and my dog doesn't have an undercoat like yours has and she could freeze to death."

"I just don't understand people 'like you'"

"No one asked you to."

"Well you're just rude."

"No rude would be me saying something like "let's make a deal. If you don't insult my dogs fashion sense she won't insult you by asking which beautician butchered your hair"

And we walked away smiling at the other small breed owner who had been insulted by her moments before..........

I was so proud. I usually don't handle confrontation well and NEVER say what I think 5 minutes after and wish I would have said.

Guys, it's a loosing battle. We will never be able to stop rude people.
I used to keep my shih tzu in a top knot and two teenage girls walked by us in PetSmart one day and started laughing at the "dog in a ponytail." Now you think you have heard everything but who hasn't seen a top knot on a dog?!!!! They were already past me by the time they said anything or I would have invited them over to the book section to view the looks of purebreds.

On the other hand....DH and I took Adie and Skeeter to PetSmart one day this winter and I had each of them bundled up in blankets. One was pink and the other was blue. I got so many compliments about my "babies" I wondered why I bothered dressing them if all I needed was blankets! LOL

My new tactic is to just stare at them like they have a big booger hanging out of their nose....you know, a little disgust mixed with pity.

If that doesn't work, I either scratch my nose or push up my glasses with my middle finger. Makes me feel better.
