| Dog Phobics-- I GIVE UP! Well it happened yet again. A long time customer came in today who I KNOW knows about Uni. Uni went trotting up to her to say Hi! practically smiling at her. She freaked out and screamed NONONONO!!! And get this, she used her kid, about 3-4 years old as a human shield to block the little furry 5 lbs monster from getting to her. She hid behind her kid b/c she thought she was in danger! Can you believe that?? And this lady is like 6 ft tall. So me and bf roll out eyes at eachother, and call Uni back. She cowered down into her bed, like what did I do?? Then this lady tells me, Put her away put her away! So I go to get her, and I tell her, she's not going to hurt you, she just wanted to say hi. As soon as I get Uni and put her behind the counter, what does she do? She walks out. Not a thank you, not a sorry, nothing. why couldn't she have just walked out in the first place? I'm so sick of people acting like this. i understand if you really have a phobia, and you're not expecting a dog to be in a shop, but my long time customers that know? Why are they so surprised? Well we are closing up shop for good soon, so I am in so-don't-care mode now. No more holding my tongue.

| Wow! Some people are a real royal pain. Our little yorkies can have their feelings hurt too and they don't understand why someone would react like she did. Makes you want to bite those type of people yourself doesn't it?

| She sounds like a wackjob. I'm sure her kid thought she was a looney too! I say good riddens!

| I would welcome Uni with open arms if she greeted me. I am sorry that you are having to close shop. I know that its been a stressful situation for you and having a stinky landlord so hopefully things will start looking up for you.

| Oh thanks. Things will look up once we get out of here!!! My BIL took out a loan for us (he has impeccable credit), so he has offered the slumlord a lump sum to try to get our way out of here. He previously had said no b/c he knew we didn't have the money, but now that we do from the loan, we have a bit more bargaining power now. Hopefully we will get out by Jan.

| Similar thing happen to me not too long ago. I was out on the grass infront of my work building and Lola was off leash. Well this woman comes out and Lola wanted to go say hello to her too, well this lady starts to scream and runs back into the building. I picked Lola up and she came out and I said " Don't worry she wouldn't hurt you " and she says " I don't care I'm scared of dogs ". LOLOL Some people are strange but what can you do, some are just scared I guess even of small dogs. |

| I understand that people are scared of dogs, but really a little yorkie? If my 100lb German shepherd came at you, ok, I think most people would be scared, but a little dog, if it really did come at you, can you just hold it off with your foot? I think yorkies are adorable, so it is not like they are scary looking dogs to start with... |

| That's why it always ceases to amaze me that people are SO afraid of dogs. i understand certain people have certain fears ( I have an irrational fear of snails )but these people KNOW Uni's in here. And she hid behind her child!

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | UGH I hate that. One time we were having a garage sale to benefit our friend, and we had a bunch of people from church there helping us. One of the women is blind, and has a guide dog. She was sitting towards the back sorting things, and this woman walked by and had a near heart attack when she saw the dog. the dog was SLEEPING under the table, 15 feet away from her. She told me I had to move the dog or she would flip out. Try explaining to the dog specifically raised to guide her owner why she had to be locked in the house without her so this woman could look around and not buy anything!

| I would be careful... some people are out and about just looking for a lawsuit... I wish you well and much luck on your new endeavors after the New Year! And tell Uni Loonie Moonie Patoonie that we love her to bits and we send hugs and kisses from all of us...
