ROTFL!!!!! They must've been watching too much Animal Planet & NatGeo. I've been taught "silverbacks" could be pretty dangerous, how 'bout you? I was just about to drink a sip of Diet Coke when I read that and sooooo glad I hadn't or would have splattered the screen!!! Don't know why but that was just really funny to me!

I am rolling on the floor laughing with you because I thought that was hilarious too. Some people really need to think before they open their mouth. I agree they were watching way too much animal planet.

My dh gets upset at me when I get too long winded explaining why the term teacup is just wrong! He made a point ..that people confuse the term teacup and toy. Yes remy is in the toy group..she is a standard yorkie,


I won't tell people how much I paid for remy. I think that is borderline rude for them to ask.. But I understand sometimes they feel they can trust you so they ask. Also, I can't really answere if dh is near by..he doesn't know But it also bugs me when they tell me I am crazy for the amount I spend in medical bills... I say to them..what would you have me do? I usually don't agree with their answers!

I also think it is rude to ask someone how much they paid for their pet! It is a rude question to ask how much you paid for your new handbag. I can see if you are having a serious discussion with some one that is really looking to buy a dog but an off hand demand for a price is just rude.

...And animals planet!!! I blame them for much of the rage for small dogs. My grand daughters like to watch that channel when they are here. It makes my stomach turn when the pets 101 show comes on and they start saying how great small dogs are for people who live in apartments and live busy lives! Just stick the dog in a kennel all day and no problem! They don't need much exercise you know!! These so called "experts", whoever they are, seem to be totally ignorant of the facts about responsible pet ownership.

well...I have heard this word used several times since we have been here....I don't really care what term they use to describe my pups but, the part that irritates me is that they are uneducated about this breed yet they all want one?! I had a girl come to see the pups last night...she was probably 12 -13 ish...she said oh...you have 3 teacups? I said no and TRIED to explain to her .....she ARGUED with me that there IS such things as teacup yorkies....I finally told her to go home and google it! the furbutts are having a great time and Bentley, his first camping trip, is going GREAT!!! I thought he would be scared of everything....he's not!...didn't take us long to turn him into a camping pup!
