Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Ever since I got Ruby, we spend a lot of time in the yard (more than before). So, I see my neighbor way more, and Ruby loves her for some reason. The neighbor went nuts for her from the beginning, she comes over to see her etc., and Ruby wags and wiggles like crazy. Well, yesterday I was taking the trash out, and the neighbor came out and we were chit-chatting and Ruby started to bark, so I let her come out to see the neighbor. So, she is petting Ruby, and talking to her and she says...(are you ready for this)...she says, "Sorry to say it, but your face is ugly now. You WERE cute, but now your ugly." I just said (nicely, but crushed inside) "how can you say that she is adorable." The neighbor just laughed at me. My feelings were hurt, it was as bad as if she had said it to one of my people children. Some people, I think the next trick I teach Ruby will be "sick 'em"...lol!

a dog's response...

"If my face was as ugly as yours, my human would shave my ass and teach me to walk backwards."

remembered from '78, 6th grade....

Lol, well . . . . .

I would actually prefer to use that line on someone who is not overweight, since they will be even more touchy about it. I usually don't make fun of overweight people, but anyone who makes a remark like that lady deserves it whether she is or not.

I have to remember that one...LOL n/m



Sue

OMG >>>I LOVE THAT ONE!!!!!!n/m

mm

My father's "girl-friend" is a real snoot....

...and made a comment about "loving Sophie" and that Maggie was cute "when she was little." John told her, "You were probably cute when you were little too!"

Beautiful my favorite is.....

You are 2 kinds of pretty. Pretty ugly and pretty likely to stay that way. lol

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...that was a thigh-slapper, Gar...!!!!

is ugly a bad word?...chuckle

my mum always tells MoJo he's so ugly that he is ugly...beauty is in the eye of the beholder indeed...we all know the truth bullies are beautiful...but if everyone knew it...then they would be an "over" demand for these gorgeous babies...
just ignore it...you know the truth...smile...ce

right. rude and may be

jealous

Hey Gary,

How did you know she had a fat ass?!!

I was going to comment in an earlier post about the tortures of having to look at her bootie shorts and cottage cheese thighs while gardening, but thought better of it, you know "People who live in glass houses..." Oh well, she is my heighbor, I have to keep the peace.

Because I'm a MEAN lady...& I don't mince words...

(I'm not really THAT mean...*wink*) and when people tell me that Elsa is "ugly" - I tell them that she probably feels the same way about them, and smirk!

People can be ignorant. Really, telling someone that their dog is ugly is rude. How many people would walk up to someone with a human baby, despite how they felt about the baby and say..."That's an ugly kid you've got there!"

Ugh!

Jodie and Elsa

Next time, say this to her:

"You used to be slim, but your ass is so fat now. What happened?"

They love unconditionally, don't they....

good thing they don't understand everything humans say. They are such special, sensitive dogs.

Re: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.. Right!

I know it shouldn't have bothered me, but I think it is partly because Ruby has such an affection for her. If she only knew what she was saying. It's not like the neighbor is any ravishing beauty herself anyway...lol.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.. Right!

Doesn't bother me at all what people say. Bill and I love him and that's all that matters.
I had a friend who said Norb looked the same coming or going, she's really not a good friend

Poor Ruby

We get that alot - Your so ugly, but I really do think they're just sayin that and deep down they think they are cute.
Maybe she meant - your so ugly your beautiful!!!

When I get that remark from people, I tell them He's got a face only a mother could love lol!

Levi not ugly Levi cute

So people just are educated in the finer things of life.

Some people are so self important (pic)

that you can even feel sorry for them. This guy came up to me TODAY and said "those have got to be the ugliest dogs, duh or one of, duh can I pet him" The result of his lack of proper socialization as a child no Doubt. By the way here is a pic of Levi from last week, Ugliest Dogs, are you kidd'n.

I hate that and

when they say "you are so ugly, you're cute" The last person that said that to Theo, I told them to go look in the mirror. I was sooooo mad.

I hate that!

More than anything. Didn't their parents tell them if they have nothing nice to say don't say it...It has happened to me, but I don't let it get to me...I do on the other hand, hate when EVERY SINGLE TIME I go outside w/ my dog that my next door neighbor has to come and get him all RILED up! Then he tries to hump her, etc...Without fail, if we are in a rush and we have to let Otis out to potty quick sure enough she is out there and repeating her stories from the time before when she was out there w/ him last. Jeez!

Yup...

even my mom, when I was looking for Leeloo, would say that they're SO WEIRD and ugly looking BUT now that she's met her granddoggie she absolutely loves her... although I do make a point of reminding her that she use to say bullies were ugly, especially when she's commenting on how cute, soft and wonderful she is... hmpf! That'll teach her!

What really ticks me is that EVERYONE seems to think bulldogs = pitbulls! Even people to whom I explain that she's a Bulldog not a pitbull and what the differences are, still say, well but BE CAREFUL when she grows up!!! Some people are so stupid and closed-minded!!! I even have some brochures on pitbulls nkow to hand out along with my lecture on the history of the Bulldog...

- Cristina (& Leeloo)
"the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

You know it would n't have bugged me,

but when I said she was cute, she looked me square in the eye, and kinda shot me a look like "you can't be serious", and besides, she is just such a sweet dog. Oh well, her loss that she can't see da beauty of da bullie. I'm just glad I can come here where everyone can truly appreciate a good looking dog!

Yeah

I guess only a bullie owner can really appreciate a bullie's face. No accounting for some peoples taste.
I've had people say mine has a face only the momma could love I tell them they just can't appreciate the finer things in life.

People can be so rude!

There's a crossing guard at the corner of my apt building (for the school children) and Lola goes absolutely nuts over him. He always says they're so ugly that they're cute! But I know he means well (he's a very nice man). If people say it in a sweet maner, I don't mind. I say it about Pugs (they are also one of my favorite breeds). I don't say it with any harm, so I asume they don't either. Regardless,I don't blame you for being hurt. Bullies are Beautiful! But sometimes it takes a special person to see their beauty.

Carolina & Lola

AGHHHHHH That makes me so mad because someone did that to Molly.

I think bullys are such a rare breed, in my area you RARELY see them, and I think they are adorable... the last time I took Molly to petsmart alone, a woman came up to me talking about her poodle (ack) no offense to anyone who has one, I guess it just made me mad because she was makin jokes about Molly - Anyways, she said "a face only a mother could love" i said what you talking about I think shes adorable... and such a character, she does everything with me, I would be so lonely without her and my hubby... I love her with everything I have and when people do that it royally pisses me off..
