Got to love it, I though Miami-ans were rude!!

I love the title....insulted on the streets of...I totally saw a typical comment about a small breed dog coming!
Well think of this: everything 30 minutes someone in Chicago goes missing...perhaps someone who seeks out to be rude when unprovoked.
Karma:hmmmmmm I must be grumpy

I think some people think of dogs as they would like to think of themselves. Like the people who buy pit bulls or some other big breed of dog because they want to look tough. Some people buy big trucks because they make them feel a certain way. Since our dogs are small some types of people think of us as small and i guess in some way that makes them feel superior enough to say rude things to us. To me it just shows how small their minds are. I don't need a big dog to make me feel secure about myself. My dog does not represent me. My dog is my companion and it's none of their business what size dog I prefer. I just feel sorry for the big dogs that have to live with small minded people.

When in truth it makes them VERY small minded (pea brained). So look on those that are cruel with their comments and see them with a tiny pea in their head for a brain. It will make you laugh and they wont even know why.
I feel sorry for those that think it necessary to try to steal or dumb down someone elses joy,just because it isn't their joy.

so true... I guess I just didn't think of it that way. It does help

very good points. My dd get mad at me because they say I should not "make" my dh (their dad) walk a dog in a pink dress. They said I "took his man card away" My dh says, why not? I love her, she is cute, and it doesn't change what I am. I think that shows him more of a man!! Besides, he takes her away from me to carry or walk- I don't make him!!!

You know, I don't care if people don't like my dog, or make fun. But how rude to make comments to my face on a busy public street!! Good think I don't carry a gun and have a quick temper!! just kidding-- sort of

Im with LilSis,, my husband takes Mina from me and sometimes I even end up with the packages while shopping. We will see how the stroller thing goes on vacation. I told him that he didnt have to walk with me with 2dogs in the stroller. He said he didn't have a problem with it. Shows a secure man that doesn't need a manly looking dog or a big truck to be a grown up. He is truely my best friend.

I love it when husbands or boyfriends are secure enough in their manhood not to mind having a little dog. I am blessed to have a husband who doesn't mind if Copper is wearing harness vests (I have some cute ones!). He will walk Copper just the same. He calls him "Little C Dog."

I have put up with a few comments about a dog wearing clothes...but if they only knew how much easier it is to put on velcro harness vests instead of the strappy kind, maybe they wouldn't comment. Plus I make my own out of scraps of material.

It is a bummer to have people comment negatively about a little dog who gives you so much love. If they only knew!

These proud, confident, yorkie-loving husbands are so much sexier and loveable than all of those men who insist on bravado and drive...well, who "aren't", aren't they?!

[sugarglass]

just laugh it off, no use in getting upset over insensitive/ignorant pelple!

i got told "er.. nice mouse you got there" when out walking with Clover! haha!
we just shrugged and walk off.

how rude and stupid
