| I haven't had any mean stuff said about Joel.....yet. Only that he has big ears for a yorkie but I take that as a compliment LOL actually he has been called "donkey ears" in the mean way but I still like his big ears Last edited by ilovejoel; 08-06-2013 at 05:21 PM. |

| I've also gotten the "rat" comment and the "it's not a real dog". Things like that don't bother me. |

| When I have Luma and Rosie together out somewhere, and they are fully decked out in pink bows, pink harnesses, pink leash... "Are you going to breed them together?"

| ZoE got called a mouse on a leash. I thought it was hilarious as at just under 10lbs, she's no tiny yorkie. I couldn't stop laughing as the guy that said it was a really short/small guy with a huge dog (I'm not saying he had size issues & was compensating, but....). And, you know how AFTER some incident, you think of really great witty things to say? Well, I was thinking of all the witty comebacks I could have said to him, all they way around the walking trail and was cracking myself up.

| Tacky comments hahaha I hate when people ask how much she cost. Why do they think they have the right to ask? I just laugh and say, Oh money?? how is that important when it comes to love? They just look at me like I am crazy. Then they ask again. And I say, I don't even remember, how much did your kid cost? They get the idea then. The rat comment I mostly get from guys, they think they are funny, I just laugh. Mostly people tell me I am ruining her by spoiling her lol. But how can I not? Emmie is just so cute. Really though I think they tackiest thing I have been told is that she is not a yorkie at all. That she is a Chihuahua and I should get my money back because I picked up the wrong dog . That came from one person, but I had a couple people ask me if she was mixed because her ears and snout seemed really big It bothered me at first but now I dont care because I love her no matter what she is. (But I am thinking she looks like a yorkie to me!) Last edited by lovepink11; 08-06-2013 at 06:02 PM. Reason: typo! |

| "That's not a Yorkie, that's a Silky" Some girl had the nerve to tell me what breed MY dog was, I must have given her the death look because she hightailed it out of there! "Is your dog unaltered? I'm looking for a stud to breed with my female" I get asked this one ALL the time! I find it very tacky, but I guess I should be flattered that everyone thinks Henri is such a stud muffin

Donating YT 500 Club Member | The tackiest I have gotten is "that is the ugliesr dog". I just let it roll off my back. But still tacky and from a family member no less. Jasper is adorable.

| Yeah, I meant it as a huge compliment when I said I love Joel's ears, because they look awesome and make him so unbelievably adorable. Such a distinctive feature that help make him look oh so innocent even when causing trouble.

| Like you wouldn't know what breed your baby is right? So annoying. I would understand if you answered, "I got him from the pound/a rescue." Then I guess it's ok. Maybe annoying but ok.

| We were out to dinner one night recently. The girls were dressed up, and Allie was in her stroller. As we walked past, a man sitting at the bar said something like "That's ridiculous! Look at that lady's dressed up guinea pig." My husband stopped, leaned down, picked up Allie, and cuddled her to his cheek. Then he looked the guy square in the eyes, smiled and said "You're right! That IS ridiculous. Allie doesn't belong to my WIFE. She's MY DOG!" The guy took one look at my huge construction worker husband. His eyes got as big as saucers, and he about fell off his bar stool. All of the guy's buddies were on the floor laughing and teasing their friend. We just walked past smiling. I assure you, there were no more guinea pig comments the rest of that night!
