Well, if it's a shop you frequent, you may just run into 'her' again. Just stay calm and look her straight in the eye.

Best wishes.

The owner asks me what kind of "mutt" I have. I said Sophia is a yorkie. She responded with disgust by saying "If she is a yorkie, she's an embarrassment to the yorkie breed"

She continued on before I could get a word in and said that her hair is not smooth as silk, her hairs too short, & she's "fat"

. I was SOOOO pissed, I didn't even know what to say

! I said "just because she's off standard doesn't make her an embarrassment to the breed. She's perfect the way she is." I didn't even end up buying my food. I put it down and left!!! Why are people so rude?!??!

Oh good grief, I probably would have decked the woman! That was down right rude. I just love people who think they know EVERYTHING...idiots.

It's a shame that someone who has such a beautiful yorkie, as you said, can be so ugly herself. Ignore her ignorance and continue to love your beautiful Sophia.

MaryKaye · 06-10-2012, 07:01 PM

That was pretty mean! One thing to remember "Hurting people hurt people." She obviously has issues. By the way, your babies are adorable!

What SHE said. WOW I can not believe that the person (not lady,she is no lady) was so ugly to you. I am so sorry that she was so ugly. She must be a very lonely person,if not she will be with that kind of two edged sword for a tongue.

Tina21 · 06-10-2012, 08:36 PM

Wow!!! What a jerk!!! I can't believe that some people are this awful. I would have found it very hard to keep my cool after being treated so rudely. Your little girl is a DOLL!!! I am just baffled at the nerve of some people. What a horrible creature!

Lori-M · 06-10-2012, 08:37 PM

She sounds like such a stuck up and rude person. Your Sophie is perfect and it is the woman who should be ashamed!!!

DvlshAngel985 · 06-10-2012, 08:42 PM

I am so sorry. I know what you mean. Kaji and don't always get he nicest comments. Kaji and Sophia are absolutely perfect babies, and are bettered mannered than some people who are a breed of their own. And I don't mean it in a nice way.

CouversMom · 06-10-2012, 08:44 PM

Wow, I cannot believe she said that! I can understand people thinking mean things in their heads... but to say something like that... Unbelieveable!

biapaiva · 06-10-2012, 08:55 PM

Don't listen to her. Sophia is just perfect!

citygirl123 · 06-10-2012, 09:45 PM

Wow. It is hard to believe people have the nerve to act like that. I love talking to people in the pet stores...because they are usually animal people, well they appreciate animals. I don't blaim you for being highly insulted. I would be too. I would have walked out also instead of confronting the woman. But in my head....I would have been saying, "Your yorkie deserves a better owner than you." Well, that and a few other choice things...

MidnightUnicorn · 06-10-2012, 09:52 PM

That woman is a c-word. I only reserve that word for certain women, and she's one of them.

No, she's not a b-word. Calling her a b-word would be an insult to female dogs (such as my yorkie Tatiana).

Truthfully, if she said that to me, I would have cut her off at some point, and said, "Excuse me," and walk away. I don't speak with c-words. I have standards.

drkprincess13 · 06-10-2012, 10:18 PM

i would of told her off if anyone ever said anything like that to my yorkies

JillyBean · 06-10-2012, 11:23 PM

I can't stand people who act that way. I some times wonder if they ever let their yorkies out of the crate to play, or do they keep them there looking pristeen. What a life :/ If it was me in your place, oh it would have been ON! Sophia is beautifull!
