| When Sadie was a puppy, someone told me she looked like an Ewok. Guess that's the weirdest name she's ever been called.

| I'm really bad to let my mouth move faster than my brain. I say things all the time and am like shoulda just kept my mouth shut. I probably would have said ... and you look rude and ___ ( I would have found something wrong with them) but my parents taught me to keep things like that to myself. BTW she's adorable.

| First, She sooo looks nothing like a rat. My husband thinks Yogi looks like a gremlin. Which is fine, because I've seen that movie, and I thought they were cute ! I've had a couple people make comments like that about Yogi, when I'm walking him, like "look it's a guinea pig!!" or "he's not even a mouthful for my dog !" (the one that said that was walking his boxer.) and yes, some guy at a local campground asked me if Yogi was a rat. I was so infuriated, so I know exactly how you felt. I was so mad, that I couldn't even say anything in return. My husband said that the next time someone calls Yogi a rat, he's gonna tell them "well, by the looks of you, you have a lot of experience in that area." But mostly, most people just love him and I get a lot of compliments. So I just try to put the negative ones out of my head and thank God that I have him!!

| Well my little Titan looked like a rat when he fell in the pool recently! I wouldn't take the comment too personally. I'm sure it was just a size comparison. Your baby is adorable.

| Oh Sandra, Holly is absolutley beautiful. I was thinking about her the other day. How is she doing? I wonder if it the same guy that said that to Ella once. He said it to be 'cool' in front of his friends and I just ignored it. I think you get a lot of comments with them. Most positive but some people can be rude. I was walking Ella and must have looked a little nervous when a huge dog was comig towards us and the lady yelled out 'Don't worry he's had lunch' People can be funny. But don't worry she doesn't look anything like a rat!! I need to get a good comeback too!! I like the polite "thanks so do you!!" |

| I think the person probably meant nothing by it whatsoever. He was just remarking about how little the dog is. I take out my Alaskan Malamute and everybody makes reference to a horse. She is very large and I've never thought they actually thought she looked like a horse. |

| Whenever i take Daisy out theres always atleast one person that says she looks like a rat! I just ignore them im sure they dont mean any offence alot of people just say it because she is so small compared to the dogs they are used to seeing. Your baby is gorgeous and deffintely doesnt look like a rat! Dont take any notice!

| Oh boy, let someone call Nikko a rat... Why do people feel they have to be so rude? I hope you didn't let that idiot ruin your beautiful day. Your pup is absolutely precious and you should listen to what everyone is saying on YT. After all, we are the yorkie experts!!

| next time someone tells you, your baby looks like a rat. say to him/her: yah and you look like a rats ass, so that makes her look better than you.
