I heard she went through a very nasty divorce, but that has nothing to do with me or with my boobah!

I have had people say...'Is that a short haired or long haired yorkie'?

"That one is cute," while pointing at my small yorkie. <------- nothing makes me madder than that. They are BOTH cute, only Esme is big and Mischa is small.

I have had people stop and coo over Heidi then look at my Stafford and say..'oh i don't like that one..he's scary'! It's just ignorance...my staff is the most lovable and docile of dogs..he was so gentle with Heidi...she bossed HIM around..in typical Yorkie fashion!

As for Bella.....I was told as she is holding her Yorkie thats about 5 pounds....
And I am holding bella at the time 10 months and 4.5 pounds, She said how old?? I say 10 months She said oh, well yours is going to be huge! I said really??? ya think?? oh well, i guess thats why people are always saying "size doesnt matter" by the way....Bella ended up a HUGE 4.11 pounds...HA And I actually want a teapot! but love both either way.

Also for Bella...A lady with her Yorkie was standing there and Bella was just a baby. She said How much was she?? I said 800 dollars, she said well I hope you know she is not a full yorkie cuz a "good" Yorkie will cost you 1500 or more...I said Well if a "good" yorkie ends up looking like yours....then I am glad she's not good, then I looked at Bella and said YOU BAD GIRL lmao

haha i wrote this before there is a guy who always has something bad to say about my boy. First it was his hair being long and me needing to cut his hair cause its so hot here. Why do that when we sit in front of a cool fan all day long? then when he showed me his dog homemade wack job; he nicked him up so bad he needed 200$ bucks worth of stitches!!!!!! and showed them to me! Even after that he still felt he could tell me what to do with my RYO!

This last encounter he was like. He so fat, he need to lose weight, and I Finally got fed up with his remarks and said But I am fat, and your bigger than me and I don't see anyone taking food away from you!.
~my son just smiled as we walked away. He was also fed up with this guys words everytime we walked by his house.

Thank you so much for your replies and stories! They are making me laugh...I mean do people really honestly believe what they say.

Us YTerz could learn loads from these people, because their fountains of knowledge is abundant and overflowing with wise advice! LOL

I used to be really quiet by best friend taught me to speak up for myself in high school and as y'all can see I am very opinionated and she made a monster.

But some people sooo deserve what they reap in these cases. IF i cant say anything nice about a dog i keep it to myself cause ain't no reason in the world to take away someone else's joy. Because you cant keep your horrible comments to yourself.

A wig on a piece of string!!! Ha!! I would have laughed on that one too!! Gotta have a sence of humor, people just love to say 'dumb' things.

The rude remarks are one thing but this is too funny. I think I have to pass that on to friends!!

LOL!!!
Sometimes people just don't know anything about the breed. I had a lady once ask me (customer at PetSmart) how old Jake was. He was 8 mos. at the time and was still not 4 lbs. I told her he was 8 mos. old and she said "is there something wrong with him that he's not growing?"

[Tillys_mom]

I had both my girls out and about and someone asked, "why do you put clothes on them? They are not people!" Then he was some dog "expert" (NOT) and told me how much they shoudl weigh and how long my girls were going to live. I just agreed and walked away.

Some of our dogs are only reg. CKC and I get comments about them as if they are 'lesser quality' becauses of that. I've actually had people look down their nose and just say, "Oooohhh" when told.
I think the rudest individual comment I've gotten was a woman actually told me, "Well, my dog is AKC so I'm sure I paid a higher price for them as they are a better quality..."
