Rude friend was mean to my puppy! I ran into an old friend today while I had my new puppy. She is a pet lover and has 3 dogs, a cat, a bunny, fish, etc. However, she didn't even give Cosmo the time of day. Instead she looked at him and said "Jerry used to have those kinds of dogs. Their greasy." The she said "He is shaking (which he wasn't) all those kinds of dogs shake. It drives me crazy." Maybe she was mad becuase she moved away and I didn't keep in touch but her comments were hurtful. I have ALWAYS wanted a Yorkie but could not afford one and now that I have him I wouldn't trade him for the world. He is such a little lover and yet spitfire! How can someone be so mean?:confused: |
Take it from where it comes from! She is probably jealous! Let it go in through one ear and out the other! |
Most people act like that when they are jealous |

You are right. I shouldn't let it bother me. She has always been on the rude side which is why I didn't keep in touch. However, she has a boxer, scotty, and beagle all of them pee'd in her house to the point she ripped up the carpet and just had cement and yet I nevr said a word. I would never pick on someone's animal. I mean it's not like he growled or bit her! Poor little man. Oh well, he was very cute in his little scarf and backpack! |
She may be jealous. I was talking to a friend a long time ago about breeding Ellie (which I decided against...don't worry YTers;) ). She said she wanted one of Ellie's puppies. Well, now that her and her fiance have a big dog I hear things like you're nuts (because I baby Ellie). I also have gotten the she looks like a rat comment. I would just think that they are jealous (or just like to stir things up) and let it go. |
grrr.. She is jealous. My friend got a shihtzu the sametime as mine. She told me yorkies are a fad. |
I agree with others...she's jealous. |
I agree w/what everyone thinks here, your "friend" is just jealous. It's funny how some people have a complete disregard for what comes out of their mouths! I've only had my fur baby for a month, and already I've heard many unwarranted opinions and advice regarding my baby from strangers, friends, and family. *ugh*:mad: |
Aw dont let her comments get to you.. she should consider herself lucky u didnt say anything back! if it were me... thats a diff story :) |
You all are right! I was reading through all the replys and you are right. Funny thing is whenever I would run into someone with a Yorkie before I just fell in love with them. I was afraid people would think I was a wierd stalker! and now that I have one I have been overwhelmed with negative comments from people and family. She is rude and I guess it hurt becuase she is such an animal lover. I mean my parents think me buying little scarfs is wierd but I don't care what they say. Funny thing...my best friend who has no animals helped me track down a life jacket a few weeks ago when I had to take him in the boat with us! I mean she called me weird and laughed with me but like a true friend she hauled her 3 little boys into a pet store to see if they had an extra small becuase I called her from the pet store across town with my deliema and she was near another store. We found one and she laughed when I sent her pics along with a thank you from Cosmo!:D |
If you allow people's hateful words to affect you, then you've given them the power over you that they are looking for. Don't give her that pleasure...just let comments like hers go where they belong - in one ear and out the other. They aren't worth your time or your worry. You know what's real and what the truth is and you have a precious baby to love. that doesn't change, regardless of what she says. Suzi |
She's just jealous :rolleyes: I have a friend I grew up with that everytime she sees Teddy she says "Oh He's the ugly one". It pisses me off but she's rude like that so i just ignore her. Some ppl are immature |
You have to excuse the stupid people in the world. |
I agree she is just jelous! After all it is her loss.;) |
Just Jealousy! Afterall, who really cares what kind of dog you have, it's your dog! |

Makes it pretty easy to see which one is your real "friend," doesn't it?:p |
I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt. The older I get the more I realize that the words 'rude' and 'friend' don't belong together so I either speak my mind with that person and get things resolved or I find another friend. Life is too short to get wrapped up in someone else's 'issues' or 'drama':rolleyes: Hmm, let me get off my pulpit and get back to work:D |
Shrug it off... Last week, my cousin told me that Boobah would turn on me and one day would bite me. I told her "she's mine, and has a calm personality". I always have a one-liner ready. If they continue, then we're on our way. My cousin also has an afghan..Boobah barks the heck out of her! |

I must be really lucky. I've never had strangers make rude comments about my dogs - at least not to my face :D Most people we meet in a store or on walks want to pet them or want to know if they are puppies, if they'll get any bigger, etc. The only people who make fun of my dogs are friends who are just joking. They are the same friends who ask how the dogs are and invite the dogs to go with us if we're going to a dog friendly place. One of the guys I work with calls Prince & Angel "Kibbles & Bits". He also picks them up and plays with them when he sees them. He's huge and it's really funny to see such a big guy holding such little dogs, especially if Angel is wearing something pink :p |
The little green monster got the best of her. She's not a friend. |
that would have hurt my feelings too and I'm sorry your "friend" acted like that to you but I don't think I would have been as nice as your were. I'm like a mommy lion with it comes to my kids, grandkids, and pets. I probably would have tore her a new one:D Talk my about me....but not my kids! Patty |
When Zoey was just 2lbs. Someone said to me..."Oh you got a hamster." My SIL is so jealous, she pretends Zoey is invisible. Your friend is sad. Hang with the other friend who helped you out! |
It's sad that there are people like that. Sometimes you try to be a friend to someone and they just seem to want to be rude.:( Be glad she moved away. |
Well I would not worry about it! She is not a friend! Sounds like she has some issues! Dont you worry honey! If It was me I would have told her to pack sand! |
i guess someone like that would not be a friend of mine.. dont worry, shes not worth it |
What goes around, comes around. We all know our Yorkster kids are superior in every way ;) so don't worry about it. You have a HUGE support system here!:p |
One word JEALOUSY |

Its interesting how some people think that it is okay to say rude things about other people's pets, etc. We have a "good friend" who had a yellow lab that he really loved. We knew how much he loved the dog and were supportive of him. Even though the house always smelled like dog. When the dog died, we sent a card, and when they got a new dog, we visited. However, he continually makes fun of our Yorkie. He has never said a nice word about her. |
