Lets help each other...when dealing with RUDE People!!!
 

I have seen so many threads on here lately about RUDE people and their mean, unsolicited comments!!

So please share how you have dealt with someone....friend, family or stranger....when they have made rude remarks about your yorkie? :rolleyes:

Thanks for sharing!! I think we need to stick together and ARM ourselves when facing uneducated mean spirited people that have nothing nice to say about our dear precious babies!!!:)

Unless you catch me on a bad day, I chalk it up to pure ignorance. I think the best bet is to ignore it or call them out on it, being curt in my reply. Most people aren't prepared to be tested on their stupidity or ignorance.

I agree! Having a plan is the way to go! I just remember being a large dog owner, thinking small dogs were cute. Never would I go out of my way to be rude.

Uneducated people have strong opinions because they do not know any better.

I can just imagine the first time I go to the mall with Mia's new dog stroller. Better get the plan ready!!

Waiting to hear all of the ideas!

I usually try not to argue with idiots, so sometimes I just ignore stupid comments...but I do voice my feelings/opinions, if it's something I am passionate about...

I don't know if you saw my post about Missy getting laughed at yesterday, but she was laughed at again today! The lady who laughed at her today had a *little* more tact then the lady from yesterday, but still. Why is a tiny dog so funny? I don't get it! I'm starting to get sick of it, so today for the first time EVER, I was a "YORKIE SNOB". I saw two ladies approaching me at the park and I quickly scooped Missy up and walked away :p I don't know if they had good intentions or bad, I just didn't want to hear ANY of it. My dog is not a freak of nature for everyone to laugh at, point at, and gawk at.

Anyways, it felt good to be a "Yorkie snob". Quite honestly, I've been getting sick of all the attention that Missy attracts. It gets tiresome.

(I think all the wacko's are coming out because of the warmer weather)

LOL That's exactly what I mean....I think it's good to be prepared....and have nice "come backs".....and giving them something to think about....without loosing our composure!!
"Say it with a smile" is my motto!!! :D

Shaunna...yes I saw your Thread....I cannot believe someone else was laughing today....actually it was YOUR thread that made me curious...to open this one up....

Good for you!! Your baby is absolutely precious!!!

Farmers Market-Des Moines Iowa.
Geez look at that women and that dog! It is too hot for a dog at the farmers market!
My comment "Are you for real? Do you think I care about your opionion and my dog? Not so much have a great Saturday."

Maybe we should say, oh sorry if she is bothering you, I gave her nanny the day off. She gets today and Christmas off. What was I to do?

And walk away!! Give them something to think about!

I've been lucky so far with strangers saying anything rude about my Suzi:) , However, i've gotten it from family:mad: imo it is harder to deal with when it comes from one of them, because it's more personal. I've had my brother dicipline Suzi, which has made my blood BOIL! He behaved like a complete wimp because Suzi jumped on his legs when he wore shorts, He was so scared she was going to scratch him! BFD:thumbdown He was practically yelling at my poor little baby , then just today, he thought it was cute to Stomp his feet real loud on the kitchen floor like a jack ass, and scare my baby to death.... She came running to me down the hallway, as if to say mommmy.... Needing comfort, than she headed straight for my room. I asked him why he did that? Oh just to see what she would do. Well it scared her , dummy! I told him that she hates you NOW! I do not like it when he teases her, and treats her like Crap, or tries to punish her, it is not HIS dog.
I might be to soft on her, however, it is not his place to come to my h ome and start in on my little Yorkie. Yes, she is a very smart dog.. That does not mean that that gives him the right to try and train her! She still is my girl, and my reponsibility. Yes, it pissess me off. Family does get in the way and over steps their boundaries, don't they? even though they are well meaning? :eek:

Yep I hear you. I would pick up the dog, and tell him to get a life! I know it is hard with family, but don't make me choose anyone over my dog! It might not happen!

You CAN NOT change anyone else's behavior. Alll you have control over is your own behavior and reations!! Keep your head held high and prance like your yorkie would! Don't even give these people the time or day or waste your time giving them any of your energy at all!

I totally agree! Many of you may have been following Ellie's story...if not, check it out...if so, I think this will anger you as much as it did me!

Just this week, I had family in from out of town. Ellie was smack in the middle of her rough patch and I had someone tell me that I was being too easy on her. This person proceeded to try to take my baby outside to use the potty knowing full well that she was only 5 weeks old, sick from her worming, and NO shots! When I tried to politely remind her of all of this she replied that I was going to make her into a pansy dog!...To that I replied that I would be more than happy to gather her bags and call the hotel to let them know she would be needing a room if she couldn't respect my home and my baby!

RIGHT ON!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

No one said anything rude about my yorkie's altho a person has wrote me a message on another YT name I own and blasted me out about how my grammer is horriable and to make it better etc etc or else she will skip it or block me and I told her I am sorry my grammer isnt perfect it is a blog I am not going to go over my wording but u can skip or block me if u like thanx take care someone else on YT came across it someone who wasn't one of my friends and she brought it up to the administrater because she thought that was rude and she thought she did something wrong by putting her nose in it and i said no thank you i actually felt and thought I was in the wrong and I dont know what actually happened to the lady who blasted me out on my page but she had asked me to remove her comment from my page and i refused to but i accepted her apology people like that can give people low self esteem and make u not want to come on the site and donate and be apart of this wonderful dog world...
