Yesterday while at the agility park, this woman turns around and mentions that she use to work for a EB rescue in FL- I told her that she was awesome and has a big heart. I unfortunately have too quick of a temper and couldn't handle seeing a person who mistreats animals. ( blame my dad -little Italian man) she laughs and I go and start to do what I went to the park to do -

she then says to me " his face is strange, his eyes are too separated apart"

I sucked it up (cause I was always told to be respectful to people) and smiled with responding " he's just perfect to me"

When someone says something rude to any of you, how do you respond?

I have to do that with Riggins all the time. He is very small. I am so tired of hearing "Was he the runt?" "Why is he so small??" "Is he a mini?" It's annoying. I just try to smile and walk away as well. When really I wanna throw a knuckle sandwich! 👊

Yep, people are just rude. Most of the time it's best to just walk away. You just can't fix stupid, not even with duct tape, and arguing with an idiot, just gets you nowhere.

Why do people always have something to say -usually a criticism. What ever happensed to manners? No one seems to have them anymore. AND everyone is an expert-usually the ones who know the least! The more people I meet, the more I love my dogs!

THANK YOU! I know people are just stupid and can be cruel but at the same time it's like why would you even say something? I do just walk away - cause I know myself and I know that once I get annoyed or pissed .... I can make grown men cry like babies. But I don't! I smile and that's it.
[MENTION=11595]Rigginsluv11[/MENTION] I get the "is he mini?" All the time. I kindly reply he is just fit.

That's rude! Once, I had a lady who told me that my bullie is too skinny and she had never see a skinny bulldog before. I looked at her and wanted so badly to tell her that maybe she needs to look in the mirror. My Howie might be able to give her a few tips. But instead, I said that my Howie is healthy and very athletic for a 65 pound bulldog!

😃 Good for you! My Mom always taught me to be the bigger person. Boy is it tough sometimes! Lol.

Riggins is only 1 so people always guess he is like 6 or 8 months. So when I say 1, that's when they start the comments. He hasn't finished growing. 😡

I like his "pint size". I can snuggle him easier 😊

These are a few of my favourites.

Hi Erica, I agree with the others just ignore and walk away. I always get people asking me if Dozer is mixed with a boxer, because he's leaner than his sister, he just has a different body shape. I have even had people fell me Bulldogs are the ugliest dogs they've ever seen. Now that's rude. You really can't fix stupid or ignorance.
