Various conversations I've had with people about Nori on our daily commute.
Me: She's a bit nippy at the moment.
Person: That's okay.
Me: Oops. She likes your shoelaces.
Person: *patronizingly* You need to get her a chew toy.
Me: You think?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Person: OOOoooooooh. You're ugly, but your puppy is really cute!
Me: *stunned silence*
Person: That is easily the cutest puppy I've seen in the last 30 seconds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Person: Oh, I couldn't see what you were walking.
Me: What?
Person: Well, I knew it wasn't a muskrat.
Me: What?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Person: So does she have fur or hair?
Me: Excuse me?
Person: Will she have fur or hair?
Me: What? Um... She'll have what she has now. Fur?
Person: So Nori... isn't that like sushi?
Me: Yeah, it's a kind of seaweed.
Person: Yes, I remember that from eating sushi.

Comment from a person who saw me holding Nori (at 9 weeks of age and having just walked from Shaw to Spadina).
"You know you can't do that all the time. She's going to be too big to be a lap dog"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being approached by two female frosh emitting high-pitched continuous squeals that could only be heard via the bones in your ears vibrating.
Me: SHHHHHH!
Them: What?
Me: Just...SHHHHH.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Person: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she?
Me: Norwegian Elkhound
Person: I'm a HUGE dog lover and I've NEVER heard of that breed.
Me: Yep.
Person: Don't you think she'll get too big for the condo?
Me: *thinking* How do you know how big she'll get?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Person 1: Oh, she's so cute. She looks like a German Shepherd!
Me: She's a Norwegian Elkhound
Person 2: She looks almost like a purebred.
Me: She is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Person: So fat!
Me: You're fat.
