Does it Bother you When people........ Does it bother you when people call your furbabies names like ,runt, peanut, rat, a little bugger, etc.? |
Sometimes depending on the words they use. Peanut, little bugger is fine by me but a rat...no no. |
Depends on what they call her. |
it depends...... If they call them cute names I don't mind one bit. if they're "not nice" names...I blow them off because they're worth my time. They obviously not Yo-Yo's like me....so it doesn't matter. Be Who You Are, Say What You Feel Those Who Mind, Don't Matter Those Who Matter, Don't Mind |
it depends on what name they call him |
No, not at all. |
I mind when people call him a mop or a rat. I think South Africans have a thing against smaller dogs (or at least most people in the circles I am in). Since I got Cash, I have had my family :( stating that he isn't a worthy dog. They have since come around and even my dad (not really an animal lover - he believes that dogs should never be in the house), started playing with Cash. I have had guys (who were flirting with me a minute before seeing Cash), call him a mop or a rat. Then these guys can't understand why I don't like them anymore or why I don't want to go out with them. Anyway, I find that it is a great way to filter the people that I let into my life. I would never say anything nasty or mean about another person's dog, so the people that do don't belong in my life. Ps. I used to fall for the worst of guys (I am 23 and happily single), but since I got Cash, he is able to let me know when the guy is a good one:D. |
It doesn't bother me when friends are teasing, but I voted "yes" because I had one experience that was particularly rude. A stranger shouted to a friend "Oh, look at the rat dog" when looking at Eddie. I must have given her a confused look because she looked at me and said "That's right, I'm talking to you." I was offended but realized she was just trying to get my goat. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction, so I ignored her. I kept hoping to bump into her again, though, when I was more prepared to get in her face. People don't realize that their casual comments are about pets that we love. |
Nobody's really called Sapphire anything... Not strangers anyways... My mom and dad do though... :( But I'm used to it now. Psycho Dog, Poop monster, those kinds of names. I guess they're not soo bad. They could be worse. We do call her a little rat when she's wet though. But only because she really looks like one! :p |

No. People who approach us always have a smile and say how cute he is. Body language is so important. Usually, I will be asked his name. |

I think because overwhellingly people say awwww when they go past, the odd person calling him a 'drop kick dog' (my brother) or a rat doesn't really bother me that much. They're only trying to be funny which obviously doesn't work. :rolleyes: |
so far no one has called either any names, they just say how cute and adorable they are. Friends sometimes will tease and make up names but only in jest so I don't take any offense to that as I sometimes will do this as well depending on how ornary the dogs are being. |
I depends on who they are & what they say. |
It doesn't bother me if its my boy's teasing about their doggies, like calling Jeter phyco dog when he can't find me, or calling Axl fat boy, and Yumi Yasha Yumi poopsha, but when it's a complete stranger being rude then YES it does bother me. I sometimes think that the very few people who have been rude were just showing off or jealous that they don't have a cute little Yorkie of their own;) |
