Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but this really hurt my feelings. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My sister comments on my little girl as a guinea pig. It was annoying at first, but not it just pi$$es me off!

Maybe she was just a big dog person? I know a lot of people that aren't big fans of small dogs, think they are too needy. I doubt she meant for you to hear her, or I am just naive and give people the benefit of the doubt too much lol

Darlene68 · 07-15-2010, 06:49 AM

Thanks All, I know Bailey is cute, and to those people that don't think so, it really does not matter, I am feeling overly sensitive about a lot of things today. I never saw the girl who said it, I was driving away from the window, and my car window was still down, that's why I heard her. I was just surprised how bad it made me feel to hear that, Bailey is my baby

I do feel okay now, things don't usually bother me so much!!

P.S...Loved the cow comment!!

Awww, I'm sorry people are so stupid and rude. I am overly sensitive about Jackson too so I understand why you'd feel that way about sweet little Bailey. My stepsister is always rude to Jackson, she's 18 and extremely immature and not a great person. I think she does it just to piss me off but it really hurts my feelings. These dogs are our children and I guess some people just don't understand that. You don't tell someone their child looks like a rat... why say it to a dog?

Oh, people are always so anxious to make the 'little rat' comments when it comes to our beautiful yorkies. I've heard it a time or two myself. Those people do not know what they are missing and are probably jealous they don't have their own beautiful yorkie.

I will say - that the 'wet look' is not for Lucy. When her legs and facial hair get wet . even I say she looks like a drowned rat!

cathys · 07-15-2010, 07:53 AM

I know what you mean about being overly sensitive, I think we all have days like that. Bailey is very Handsome, and you know that, but some people have no taste or tact for that matter. Remember she is probably young and we all say and do stupid things when we are young, just for the shock value. She was probably just trying to be different from everyone, just to disagree. Remember the only opinion that really matters is yours.

TwoforFun · 07-15-2010, 07:53 AM

She might have meant it in a good way. I call my yorkie "mi ratoncita" which means my lil' rat. I love her to death and think she's the cutest thing in the world. You have a bad impression of rats but not everyone does.
You should see my little girl walking along the wall and you will understand what I mean. Don't take it to heart, if someone tells me my girl looks like a rat I put a big grin in my face because in humor she does. Just like some people think newborns are ugly that doesn't mean they don't like them. Everyone has a different way of thinking.

Hahaha, sometimes I wish I would be that quick and witty. Love it.

Darlene, I understand you were offended but people sometimes don't think before speaking (me included

).
I sometimes tell Merlin he looks like a little rat or hedgehog...

And really, some stupidity is best handled with "the look" rather than words, cause it's not like they would understand them anyway...

Someone once told me that mine looked like splinter from the teenage ninja turtles lol......

peachesmom1sc · 07-15-2010, 08:34 AM

there is a employee at home depot that tell me that all the time he also tells me where the traps are as they do have them all over the store so i don't let her walk there at just 3 pounds the big trap could hurt her and for that i'm grateful that he lets me know
she is my avatar and will be 11 months tomorrow ( porsche ) or lil one

BellarousasMom · 07-15-2010, 08:46 AM

My DH also calles Bella a rat, ratdog, etc. I ignore it. Last night I let her follow me outside and he called out, You've got a rat following you. My kids do the same thing. I let it pass. Granted it is family, but even with strangers just ignore them. They might not be small dog lovers.

I think you need to find a new Home Depot

As for the lil girlie at the coffee shop

I have an idea for her too. I would find a plastic squeaky rat for my visit through the drive thru tomorrow and have him sitting right next to Baily. When they go to give him a treat I would proudly announce he has a brother who would like a treat too.
