Aw, I'm sorry your feelings got hurt -- his intentions might have been good (he thinks Tori will grow into an even lovelier pup) but his choice of words was lacking in the tact department!

For us, we often hear "oh, she's a crazy girl!" in a negative way because Bijou is still such a jumper at 10 months old. They want her to be docile and a couch potato 24/7 -- they forget she's young, playful, and happy! We train her daily and we know she'll learn her manners more and more each day, but until then, we remain grateful she's healthy and exuberant -- and we keep repeating to others that we're just glad to have a pup that loves us as much as we love her. Manners will come!
