Some People!...

As the saying goes " you can't fix stupid"!

[fasteddie]

Don't let other people bother you at all! As long as you know what Emma and Milli are, that's all that counts.

There will always be some people that want to try to put you down, don't let it get to you at all. You were very courteous and polite, don't feel bad you didn't say anything mean to her. Next time maybe you should just tell someone like that to do some research on Yorkies on the Internet, as there are Yorkies of all sizes, shapes, and colors!

When people are acting stupid, it's good to have fun with them if you can stay composed and not let them upset you.

HAHAHAHAHA. i agree!! When people are ignorant and rude, i'll say something sarcastic, it makes them feel really stupid!! And it gets to them even more, when you could care less!! I just can't stand how some people always think they are right and how they don't think before they speak!! some people i swear.. ENJOY your weekend!!

I SHOULD have! That would have thrown her through a loop, in the middle of Iowa, of all places! Everything sounds so perfect, polite, and intelligent when said with a British accent. (Please take this a compliment, UK YT members, and not the other way!)

Ahh, Suzy, don't let people get you down, you know Emma and Milli are both pure yorkies. I think people like that are just jealous that you have these cute little dogs and they don't

You're right, I should have referred her to YT...but then she'd see me on here beefing about her!

Actually, I do refer many people that have questions or have yorkies to this site, but only the friendly ones.

I bet if you felt better, you wouldn't have let the woman get to you. Things always bother you more when you don't feel well and patience is at a low.

I run into people like that too, and I just smile and say I have to go. I don't bother to keep listening or talking to them because they're just very uneducated about the breed, and their opinions don't matter to me anyway because I don't even know them.

I hope you feel better soon!

Oh, Martha! I know both my furgirls are all yorkie-no question in my mind there!

You're right...I'm sure she was jealous, probably even more so that others are, since she had a yorkie at one time. She probably forgot what they looked like since it had been awhile. I should have told her to do some research on them if she was interested in the different sizes and colors, and left it at that!

Thank you!!! You're right-it's always worse when you're not feeling right. Usually I let stuff like that roll off my back, and give them a and a for good measure!

I just thought of a GREAT comeback to her, too bad (or probably for the good) that I didn't use it....but I'll share it with you all! When she said that that her yorkie was much smaller and much lighter in color, I should have said, "Are you sure? Or could it be that you're just much bigger and much blinder now?"

You could always suggest her reading "Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies" and let her know it's full of information on the breed for misinformed people on the breed, and make sure you say it with a smile...

That is a good one! I will remember that for the next idiot I come across...and I even have the book so I can offer to bring it right on over!

[YorkieRose]

I would have thanked her for pointing out the fact my Yorkies were oversized and asked her what she would suggest I do...put them to sleep because they were a bit over the standard weight limit...

Why are you allowing a total stranger, who is obviously an idiot, have so much control over your emotions?

I didn't feel well, and the whole day was off...and it was worse that I was trying to get around it, and turn the conversation better, but she kept bringing it down.

I KNOW she's an idiot, but it still pissed me off. I would never say something like that to someone, especially someone I didn't know, and then continue to press the issue.

Anyway, I'm over it now. Just wanted to vent! I know many of you have been through the same thing.

Glad to hear you're feeling better
