| Just the other week a guy walking towards me said, 'you have a Rat following you!' Pixie was trailing behind me on her lead...he was laughing to himself like it was the funniest thing he had ever seen....I just smiled and carried on walking As i said before...I have been hearing this 'Joke' for the past 16 years..I guess i have heard it one too many times and my patience is wearing thin!

| So far I haven't had the rat thing but today one of my coworkers saw Roxy and said "I didn't know it was bring your dust mop to work day." All I could say what "She is NOT a dustmop!"

Yorkie Yakker | Yes, my parent's and my sister's call Jada "water rat" what the hek is a water rat. They are all used to large dogs so when jada came along they all made jokes. I used to get upset, but now it doesnt bother me too much. We yorkie mommie's and daddy's have the cutest babies in the whole worldTry not to let it bother you, and just let them know that it bother's you when they say things like that. Quote:

My dad, (who has thinning hair) was once waiting with Trixie while my mum was in a shop. One of her co workers later asked her why her husband dragged his wig on a piece of string.

| Rat comments get old after awhile, you just get used to it. People are rude, no controlling what they think or say. I just pity those who have to make those comments because they obviously have never known the love of a Yorkie Quote:

| I actually have never had to deal with a stranger calling them rats. I'd be upset but I wouldn't get really angry about it cause it's just not worth it unless they keep on and on or unless they try to hurt one of my boys. Sometimes we joke around in our house about them looking like little rats when we give them baths, but we say it out of love.
