Hi everyone
Its been ages since i posted here but I am just so annoyed I had to 'rant' to someone who actually understands lol
My maltese Bella was born with a serious heart problem (some of u might even remember) and we were told she would only live maybe 3 months. The breeder actually gave her to me (as there was no way i wasn't having her just because she was ill) and the first vet i took her too (after telling me how stupid i was and asking who would want a sick dog) said she might live up to six months max.
Bella started heart medication last year and tomorrow is her 2nd birthday!!

I cant believe she's going to be 2 years old. She's doing so well, her tablets are really helping and u honestly wouldn't know there's anything wrong with her. I sound terribly sad but im actually having a little birthday party for her

Was busy making a special cake for her when my friend called and asked what I was up to etc. I explained that it was Bellas birthday and how pleased i was that she was doing so well etc since nobody had even expected her to live past 6 months. I also said about her birthday party and how excited she will be (she loves having people and other dogs over to play)
and he said ... how the heck can she be excited? she's a dog, she's not even bright.
I was a bit shocked but said of course she's bright, they are actually very intelligent. To which he replied its not intelligent its a dog, its a bl**dy maltese, its not even a proper dog! and then he made some remark about being stupid and obviously having money to 'burn'
How can some people be so nasty?

My Dad also has 2 jack Russell's and although they are great little dogs i honestly think bella is much smarter. She seems to think more like a child than a dog. I had first got bella when i found out i had arthritis and was going to be put off work for a long time. Around this time most of my friends 'abandoned me' not knowing how to act around me or treat me and bella was the only 'thing' that was always there for me. Its sad but she's more like a child than a dog.
Im not even sure how to speak to 'my friend' again after this, its probably silly but im totally insulted.
