omg, i just read what that person on the site said and that really ticked me off! I posted a reply and put it as polite as I could because I don't want to start an argument on there. Here's my reply to that person's remark about chi's:
"Ok, usually I keep quiet on here if something someone says upsets me, but your comment about Chihuahuas is uncalled for. I have a chihuahua, and he is far from a "glorified rat." He is not loud, or annoying. That's very harsh of you to put the whole entire breed into a generalization of being "louder and more annoying than roseanne barr and joan rivers put together."
I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just defending a breed of dogs I happen to love very much. If you've had a bad experience with a chihuahua in the past, it's most likely the result of a bad owner.
I have seen a lot on here lately the mods reminding us of the SOC rules, and one of those rules is "no actor bashing." I'm hoping that rule applies to the animals on Passions, because what would happen if the real owner of the chihuahua on the show were to come to this board and see someone calling their dog a "gloified rat?" They'd feel the same way that one of the human actors would feel if they came on here and saw people calling them ugly or something. It's just not very nice."
I didn't post the remark the person mad,e because I'm not sure if i'm allowed to...but I'm sure you'll be able to get the jist of what he said by reading my reply to him.
