Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the rock.

One of the things you learn when you have a Yorkie is to be prepared for compliments!! Also, when you go shopping, it's kinda like road construction .... "Expect delays"!!

If Patrick and I are in a huge rush, one of us just keeps Toto in the car while the other runs into the store. We would rather be late than to be rude to anyone admiring our baby!!

I can totally see why - Elizabeth sent me your pics to post in the my yorkie section - did you see them ?? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ght=bettyeanne
That Toto is a DOLLBABY !

Maybe she was hard of hearing and really didn't hear what you said or heard what you said wrong!!! OR as someone else said, maybe he was a prince but know that you did nothing wrong! I would be offended if YOU DIDN'T say something about my sweet, handsome boy!!

tjdmom · 06-01-2007, 03:54 AM

I wouldn't worry about people like that. Like I tell my kids, just throw it over your shoulder. I'm not sure why she would've acted that way. My little girl is 16 weeks (almost 17 already!!) and I've only had her for almost 4 weeks but I know that everywhere I go, people comment and ask to pet her and sometimes I'm in a rush but I try to always be polite - I wish it was me that you ran into and then we could've had a nice chat! And sometimes people look at her in her hot pink, diamond studded leash and say "oh, HE's so cute" but even that doesn't bother me. Sorry you ran into someone like that but don't let her waste another minute of your time worry about whether you did something wrong. You didn't!

Betty'sMom · 06-01-2007, 04:28 AM

I can't imagine a woman in a pet store with her yorkie in a carrier, dressed up, being snotty when someone says her dog is a princess!? Go figure. She sounds weird to me.

Elisandra · 06-01-2007, 04:55 AM

i think she was a snotty lady, me personally i love when people talk to Rocky and saw how cute he is.

And i just love seeing Yorkies anywhere! If i see one i get all excited not annoying but i'll say oooo look a yorkie lol this past weekend i was at the "Coney Island" and this lady had a yorkie a girl and she had a little pink visor and some pink little boots. I also saw another yorkie on the boardwalk her owner was giving her water. I wanted to take Rocky but it was absolutley to hot and to many kids and food here and there on the floor it would of been to much to take him. Maybe if it wasnt so hot i would have taken him.

Lou · 06-01-2007, 10:15 AM

Hmmmm, what could make a person act like that? Could it be that the dog wasn't the only bitch in the family?
OR
Maybe it wasn't her dog and she had issues with the owner spoiling it?
OR
The woman was from another planet where "princess" is a dirty word?
OR
fill in the blank.
The woman was a jerk and shouldn't be allowed to go out in public.

MaxwellHouse · 06-01-2007, 12:20 PM

I just love the way Yorkies can bring out the smiles in 90 percent of the people they meet, like it was their job or something. Don't worry about the woman, she probably had something else going on to make her crabby that day. It wasn't you, I'd bet.

Lexi Rae · 06-01-2007, 12:27 PM

sure sounds like she woke up on the wrong side of her web......... ha ha ha
what a real snot nose... i would of had just 2 words for her and it wouldnt
be happy birthday.....

lexi gets noticed every single day when i walk her and im just so proud to be her mommy... mostly everyone that passes has a beautiful comment and i just eat it all up.. me and my b/f just smile at eachother as they pass and
utter kind words...

VickiesMomma · 06-01-2007, 12:30 PM

I can be like this sometimes. It does get a bit annoying when people came up to you all day just because you have a tiny dog. It's like a lot of people think you got for attention, but you take it/them out because you love them and give them fresh air and exercise. Maybe I'm weird.

pea496 · 06-01-2007, 12:31 PM

I feel hurt when I dress Conner up and no one notices or compliments him. He always gets compliments when we go to stores. People want to know where we get his clothing, etc. Maybe she is not the type of person that should own a yorkie!!!

Lexi Rae · 06-01-2007, 12:40 PM

yes me too,, when i walk lexi and nobody acknowledges her at all, i get
mad... some people are just not animal lovers thats all. its gotta be that.
i want my dog to be noticed and im estatic when she is... i never leave the
house unless lexi is brushed and her top knot is in place.. she looks better than i do, always.

Methinks that's the way movie stars must feel. Not everyone really wants to be engaged in conversation everywhere you go, they just want fresh air and exercise. ha
