Wow...A lady at PetsMart today was RUDE! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

DreamySamantha · 09-29-2007, 03:16 PM

My boyfriend and I were at our new PetsMart today shopping with Jaxson. We were taking him to pick out some toys and a treat for his birthday today. Well, we're almost done with our shopping and we see this family consisting of a grandma, daughter, and grandson. The grandson is saying "Awww, look at that poodle!" Too bad Jax looks nothing like a poodle, but I thought it was cute. Then the grandmother asked the daughter "Have you ever seen that Cesar Millan show? Well, the ferocious dogs that are always featured on that show and need his help are always those LITTLE dogs that haven't been trained properly." She then proceeded to look at Jax and point. She told her daughter "Just like him!"

That burned us!!! If I was not afraid that I would warp that grandson for life, we would have given her a piece of our mind. Most LITTLE dogs are just as easily well-trained as bigger sizes. And Yorkies are so damned smart, lol. And Jaxson was just sitting there looking cute while this mean old lady said mean things about him and his kind on his birthday! Grrrr....

But other than that, Jax has had a great 1 year birthday and is getting some puppy ice cream tonight

Have a nice Saturday night everyone...
Samantha, Jax

, and Josh

That lady was way out of line. So sorry that happened. Anyway...

Happy Birthday Jaxson!

What is it about Petsmart and Petco?
You seem to meet the rudest people there

Jaxson should have growled at her

mistyinca · 09-29-2007, 03:35 PM

Actually, she may have just been pointing to your dog to the girl about a yorkie. Last weekend, on the Dog Whisperer, they had a house that had 9 yorkies, and Cesar was there to help with one that was very jealous and attached to the dad. He would get very aggressive and snap at people.

So maybe she wasn't talking about your dog being the problem dog. Maybe she was pointing at your dog as if to say the show was "one of those kind of dogs" kind of thing. Know what I mean?

love_me_cody · 09-29-2007, 03:41 PM

You know there have been many incidents with rudeness and petco or petmart... Why are rude people ranging around there?!

Yorkiekids · 09-29-2007, 03:41 PM

I wish I had seen that show. Penny's so out of hand.

Beckyhebert · 09-29-2007, 03:49 PM

Shame on her ... what gives her the right. When people think I am crazy for loving my yorkies and dressing them so cute... I just say there are some really ugly and mean people out there and doing unbelievable things to innocent little children everyday ... let me enjoy my furbabies ... some parents should show more love to their human babies.. Yorkies rule... my are top of the class . lol

stedmansmommy · 09-29-2007, 03:56 PM

Darn it!

Why to people have to be so RUDE

Just because a dog is small does not mean he/she isn't properly trained! Granted we are still working on Tate lol

(she has a mind of her own

) but Stedman is EXTREMELY well behaved and knows tons of tricks. He is the most well behaved, fastest learning dog I have ever owned in my entire life!

Oh well....that lady OBVIOUSLY doesn't know what she's talking about so just let her talk!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you Jax!! I am glad to hear that you've had a great day so far little buddy!

bellaismybaby · 09-29-2007, 05:04 PM

She must be watching the small dog edition, because I have seen all sized dogs with bad behavior on the show. Too bad her bias is passed to her grandchild, I'm sure he would have loved to give your baby a birthday rub

Happy Birthday Jaxson!!!

Shelby&Seymour · 09-29-2007, 05:17 PM

Sounds like that Lady needed to see a Yorkie obey an command......... Can you say "Jaxson...Attack"!!!!!

.... Just kidding! (although she would have deserved it)

Happy Birthday Jaxson!!

SweetPea53 · 09-29-2007, 05:59 PM

I would just ignore the comments and hope you enjoyed Jaxson's special day....Izzie and I are wishing Jaxson a very Happy Birthday

nvnvgirl · 09-29-2007, 06:54 PM

Oh geeze...so many ignorant, stupid and rude people, and where is a gun when you need one? Just joking, but just consider the ignorant source.

I had never had ANYONE EVER in the 2 yrs that Max has been alive ask an insulting question until a week or so ago when I was at my mom's and it was MY AUNT...she said, OH SO SWEETLY (b/c I had "HER" bedroom) "Is he ALL yorkie?"....(she's a moron to begin with but I just couldn't help myself)...I said, just as SWEETLY...."Well, just the parts that aren't Great Dane".....she said "teeeehheee....well, I'm smart enough to know that he's not part Great Dane" and I told her "But you AREN't smart enough to not ask insulting questions, are you?". Sorry....no slack when it comes to my animals. And I'm really
sorry...when it comes from the high priestess of the SPAM appetizers.....zero tolerance

Tillys_mom · 09-29-2007, 07:04 PM

Sorry that happend to you. I've always had a pleasant experience in our Petsmart. The workers always comment on Tilly and often people will stop and tell me how cute she is. Tonight an older man stopped to see Tilly and he was telling me about the two Yorkies he has at home. I think Tilly sensed how he loved Yorkies because she kept wanting to give him kisses on his hand. It was cute!

Catrina · 09-29-2007, 08:16 PM
