Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Frustrating Episode At Petsmart today!!!! I'm a bit frustrated to say the least! Let me tell you what happened to me today in PetSmart. Katie Scarlett needed her daily walk but with all the snow on the ground and the strong winds it is freezing here. She shivers at the slightest breeze so I thought I would drive to PetSmart and walk around in there for a bit to let her get some exercise, socialize, and pick up a few things. She loves it there. She knows when our car turns into the shopping center it is in and she goes nuts. I always let her walk outside in the grass for a minute so she can do her business and then we walk in. So far we have had nothing but good experiences. All the employees know us and love her to pieces. And most of the time, every single person we encounter either grins, says 'ooh' or 'how cute', or wants to pet/talk to us...which we love. We love to get chatty and meet other dogs/dog owners. Well today this man with a Rottie came up to me. He said hello and asked me if 'he' was a Yorkie. Well first of all I said, that 'she' is a Yorkie. I wanted to say...well hello! Can you not tell that she is a 'she?'!!! She had a dress, bow, pink harness, and pink leash, but I did not. Then you want to know what he said??!!!! I quote.... "I feel so sorry for pets like yours. She is being mistreated being made up like that and someone should report you to the animal cruelty officers. She is a dang (but he didn't say 'dang') dog, not your child, and you should be ashamed of treating her like you do! I wish people like you would be declared unfit to own any pet!" OMG! I was floored! I mean, it came out of nowhere. No hello, no conversation, just direct accusation! I was so stunned I could not say anything. He immediately turned around and marched out the door at that point. I just stood there for a good few minutes just with my jaw dropped. Then this nice girl who worked there came over and told me not to worry. Apparently this same guy comes in all the time harassing small dog owners. They have had to ask him to leave several times. They think he sits in the parking lot watching people go in. Can you believe that?! I am still just in amazement at the whole situation! I mean, it did not hurt my feelings. I thought....'what an idiot!' If he only knew how much I pamper and love on my dog! You guys know I do! The nerve of some people just makes me want to smack 'em on the head! LOL Had to get that off my chest tonite! Thanks for listening!

| Truly an rude, angry, idiot. It is really sad that he has so much hatred and that he sits and waits to attack small dog owners and spew his hurtfulness.

| Well, he is an idiot. My pups get all dolled up all the time. And I promise you they are treated way better than some humans are. Sorry but that is the truth. They are way cleaner than some too. I know you love KS like I do my girls. So, I know she is treated the same way. What a jerk he was to come up to you and say those things. Maybe he needs a good smack on his head!!

| What a jerk. He must be feeling very small to prey on people they way that he does. I know your little KS is pampered and loved - anyone would have to be blind to not see that.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | I know, right?!!! And I can't tell you how many people have said to me 'When I die, I want to come back as one of your dogs!' LOL. Everyone knows how loved on KS is, not only by me, but my whole family. I just want to go back and find that man and kick him in the rear. You can bet if I encounter him at PetSmart again I will be doing a 180 and walking in the other direction. If I didn't I might say what is really on my mind and then they would be kicking me out of the store after I gave him a good what for.

| Truly rude. I have been acused of treating Kirby like a person too. Honestly I love Kirby better than a lot of people. She never talks back and she is always willing to please and cheer me up. She knows when I am in a bad mood and she knows to just leave me alone . My human family can't seem to pick up on it. They will demand and nag no matter what. She listens better than my human kids. Dont pay attention to that hater. I like all types of dogs. I prefer small breeds for my own personal reason but I would never down someone because they love large dogs. Petsmart should address things better with this person. |

YT 1000 Club Member | I am with Jada, I would have prolly went off on him. Some people amaze me....if they can't say something nice, then don't say it at all. I think he was just jealous because Katie Scarlett is so darn gorgeous!

| What a complete tool he is!!! I wish your husband would have been there!! I think you should carry some mace with you....and if you ever run into him again then whip it out and tell him to back off or else! (Don't really use the mace of course, but to whip it out and threaten him with it would be pretty funny!) Disclaimer: please disregard the above advice. My "evil twin" typed it and she doesn't always give the best or safest advice!

| P.S. Peyton is pretty mad! He wants to take this guy on and defend Katie Scarlett's honor! But, only if the guy doesn't have his rotty with him! He's brave...not stupid!
