Both of my girls are just over 4 pounds. Sydney has real silky hair and Emmie has cottony hair. Emmie weighs .4 less than Sydney.

People will come up to us and say "Oh they are so cute. I just love this one here(Sydney) she is so small. How much does the other one(Emmie)
weigh?"

All people care about is what they weigh. I just love telling them Emmie weighs less than Sydney. The hair makes her look bigger. What difference
does it make?

Thank goodness I haven't had any of that! We went to PetSmart last night for Fynn's first puppy class - which went really well, by the way - and everyone just seemed to LOVE him. They didn't ask how much he weighs, they didn't say anything rude. I was impressed. They did as how big he would get but nothing awful.

The only thing that bugs me is my neighbor - whom I adore and we tease back and forth - calls Fynn a 'rat.' She's always like, "Commer you little rat!" Jokingly, of course. I mean, she doesn't say it to be rude, she's just teasing him and I know that, but it bugs me! He's noooot a rat!

I have a neighbor that keeps asking me when I'm going to get a "real dog". He makes fun of my DH for walking two yorkies and thinks I forced him into getting wimpy dogs. Little does he know that my DH is the one who made me buy them sweaters and raincoats for inclement weather. He said, when we get a dog, we're going to get a manly dog. My DH wanted to leave a couple of "dookie" bags on his lawn. LOL

I must be the luckiest yorkie owner in the world because I have NEVER had anyone tell me they had a smaller yorkie.

Skeeter is now 10 pounds.
Adie is 7 pounds
and Gracie is 5 pounds.

People ask me if Gracie is the youngest (presumable because she is the smallest) but they don't comment on any of their sizes.

The comments I get the most are how pretty they think Adie is. Skeeter and Gracie are little cuties but they seem to thing Our diva is a beauty. Of course she is also the only one with long hair and a topknot so I'm sure that plays into it. LOL

Good one! When the girl said this to me, I just was dumbfounded and had nothing to say. Then we were walking away and I looked at Rocco and thought "Hmm. Rude AND blind"!!

I HATE it when something like that happends then once the person has walked away you think of the perfect come back

I guess Im just a bit slow and always kick myself when I think of something once Im home.

Now I know some people don't like chihuahuas but they are all my babies and I really hate that!!

Doesn't it just make you feel great? Again, rudeness!
Wrigley & Camden are 6+lbs and we get asked if they are "tcups" and they always pay attention to them & ignore Crosley (she's a 16-17 Yorkie-Poo) and I always feel bad for her because she's the one who LOVES the attention!

Several months ago, (before we got Connor) I answered an ad in the paper about a Schnauzer/ Malti that the owner was giving away. She lives in the same town that our breeder does, so I asked her if she knew Debi, to which she said yes, but in a VERY condescending tone. The lady then asked how much our boy weighed and I told her 9 pounds. Boy, she started rattling off about how NOT up to standard, poor quality because of Neo's size, you name it -she said it! By the time she shut up I was SO pissed all I could say was "He's perfect to ME and more to LOVE! He's our SON, not a show dog!" Needless to say, we didn't get her dog. Who the Hell did she think she is?

I recently read somewhere (maybe on here) about a woman who owned a Yorkie and a stranger walked up to her and said something along the line of "Oh. Is that a Yorkie? He looks like a rat" and she replied "That's ok. He thought you looked like a (insert animal of your choice here)"

I thought that was a really good comeback!

That is awesome! I am totally going to use that!!

It happens to me all the time too. Prada is almost 8 pounds and she's silver. So, I get "Oh, she so big and why is she that color?" Drives me nutz! I'm a big girl myself, so I REALLY take offense to someone commenting on my baby's weight.

I have also heard this several other times before I had Khloe where people state that they have a yorkie, but it is far smaller.

Do people honestly think that having a smaller dog somehow makes them superior? I just don't understand why it is necessary to share your dog's weight unless someone asks. I could not imagine someone talking about their skin kids and say "Oh I have an 8-year-old, but he's 30 pounds

"

Is this odd, or am I just being an oversensitive momma?

I get this to with Andy and I don't know why but it bugs the heck out of me and I end up saying some smart remark which maybe I shouldn't it just pops out . I say " Yes but mine is smart " I know but see how much it bugs me ? lol
