| If you dont have something nice to say.... Well.... I ran to the store today with Mr. Sammy Sam as I always do and there was a girl (around 20) with a lil Yorkie outside....So being the nice person I am and looking for other locals with Yorkies.... I introduce myself and what are the first words out of her mouth..... "HE IS HUGE - obviously you didnt get a teacup" Me breathing before I speak - "You are obviously correct since there is NO such thing as a teacup" Her - "Mine is- she is 12wks old and is a teacup. I cant believe how BIG he is" Me- "He doesnt even weigh 5lbs -- when did you get your Yorkie" -- I am really trying to still be nice at this point... Her - "I got her about 2 wks ago ... GOSH, he is just sooo big. And why does his ears stick up like that?? Im so glad I got a lil baby" Ok so finally I had it.... and this is me.... "Listen, sweetie pie, if you got your baby at 8 wks sounds to me like the breeder didnt know what he or she was doing lettin a lil one go that young AND for your information, again, there is NO such thing as a teacup - look it up- a Yorkie is a Yorkie regardless of the size and by the way, the standard is 7lbs.... AND just so you know.... their EARS are supposed to stand up that way. I think before you do anything else with your dog, you may want to do some reading...." then I turned around and walked off..... and i dont know if its ok to let the babies go at 8wks or not, at that point, I was just mouthin to be mouthin My mom was with me and she reminded me that if I didnt have anything nice to say that I shouldnt say anything at all...lol... but geesh.... I wanted to knock her out!!! If you coulda just seen the way she was saying OMG HE IS SO BIG -- it like that song - OMG BECKY LOOK AT HER BUTT IT IS SOO BIG -- ugh I wanted to slap her... Ok Im done ranting lol

| Congrats on your calm nature. I cant even imagine if anyone insulted my baby!!!! I have had someone insult my son and I almost lost it. I know I wouldnt be as quick to react with my Yorkie but I think it would be pretty close. People just like to make themselves more important by insulting (or "having an observation") other people.. Your yorkie is beautiful.. |

| I'm surprised you waited so long to tell her off. I think I would have let her have it after "he's huge, and mine is a teacup." My comment would have been something like, "Honey you'd better do your homework, because it is obvious that you know nothing about yorkies." |

| Thats really crazy. She is obviously not educated about yorkies. I had this woman came up to me in petsmart telling me that Dior was huge. She is 6lbs. I simply walk away.

| Ohhhh-that just "frosts my bippies"!!! I think you handled that QUITE well. I about went OFF on someone this weekend for calling my 6 lb little Emma "big"-this lady and her pudgy daughter were each holding what they claimed to be yorkies, and gawking at Emma! The dogs were the size of guinea pigs-no exaggerating on this one, they had were NO larger than 1.5 lbs (they made 3 lb Milli look like a GIANT). And, they had horrific looking scraggly hair that needed to be brushed and trimmed, and these awful, gappy, pointy teeth. I told them that Emma was standard sized, and Milli was on the smaller side, but they didn't believe it, and started ARGUING with me about the size of a standard yorkie, and boasted theirs were "teacups". I briefly went into the fact that there is no such thing as a teacup-but was shot down, and didn't feel like arguing. What I wanted to say was, "at least my dogs are CARED for, and are properly FED and GROOMED!" Ugh, the nerve!

| Good for you!! Since she doesn't know their ears are supposed to stand I'm sure she would go in shock to know sometimes "teacups" grow to "teapots". |

| I can't believe the nerve of some people, being ignorant in the first place, then attacking your cute little Sammy.
