Haha, It wasn't a dog handbag, just a reg one, She asked if I would lower the price, I said no, she left and I immediately went to the ad where the bag was placed and reduced the price

it was sold to the next person shortly after! I was just so happy when she left!

Especially Yorkies. I am not sure how anybody could ever blame a certain animal for a bad experience, I know I dont. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners.

If they dont like dogs, they cant be trusted.

I would have said "Well, we have something in common, I dont really like people, in fact, I dont really like you."

Many people are terrified of dogs. It doesn't make them bad people. And more often then not they will say they don't like dogs because they are embarrassed to admit to their fear.

We have a sign that says that if you don't like dogs then don't bother knocking

I'm terrified of snakes - I can't even see them on the TV

I've a friend who was very afraid of dogs. We went to a lake one summer and she refused to get out of the car because there were 2 dogs next to our car. She managed to overcome her fear... now she's staying with the boyfriend who has a BIG dog.

Thank goodness you didnt give her the discounted price. I dont care if someone doesnt like dogs that is just rude. What does she think a tiny little Yorkie is gonna kill her? When your in someone elses home be polite, dont point out what you dont like. I dont like snakes or any kind of reptile either BUT I wouldnt go in someone else home that had them and cringe in front of them thats just rude.

Well I opened the door and when the lady saw Bailey she took a step back, kind of put her arms up to her chest and just cringed, and the look of disgust on her face blew me away

I told her that he is very friendly and does not bite, she answered " I really don't like them, I can't stand dogs!" I've never encountered this before, holy cow, how can you not like my precious little Bailey

I've met people who preferred cats over dogs, etc, but never anyone who totally detested them! I never want to meet another person like her again, she left the worse taste in my mouth. K..glad I got that out, it really ticked me off!!

How can you look at Bailey and not fall in love? I would of been tempted to say well then you don't want one of my bags and shut the door in her face. Peace out Bia***!!! lol

I had Harley sitting on my lap when I went through a fast food drive thru one time and when the lady at the window saw him she started backing up. She had to go get another employee to actually come take my money. She wouldn't step near the window. I think its strange that people can be that scared of a small dog.

I was invited to a very "well to-do" friend's house and everything is so fancy and slick. She asked me to bring my baby, Priscilla......because she hadn't seen her yet and she loves dogs. I had to use the restroom so I took Prissy with me. When I opened the door to go back into the hallway....I was startled to meet a woman who was a stranger to me. She has a look on her face like someone had goosed her from behind. Her eyes were bugged out on a stem. I said "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know anyone would be here that is afraid of dogs". I hurried around the corner to tell the hostess I was leaving and what had happened. She said, "Oh don't worry, that's my Mother and she just got a fresh face lift and always looks like that".

My aunt is a in-home nurse and was taking care of an elderly woman with a 10 pound dog. When she was leaving the dog attacked her, and cut her ankle so bad he punctured her achilles tendon. Even after going through that she still loves my dogs, but is still careful. I see it as me not liking cats, there's no reason for it (maybe because I'm very allergic?

) but I just don't really like them. I still don't understand how anyone can not love our yorkies though, but we are biased here

Some people do have a very real fear of dogs, of all sizes. My daughter is quite afraid of dogs that she does not "know", and even some that she does...mostly bigger dogs, but small ones too if she's caught off guard.
It's not something I see as a laughing matter...you never know what the other person has been through that has resulted in their adversion to one thing or another.

And OMG, the "facelift comment" PRICELESS!
