I probably would have said "His outfit costs more than yours" or "At least he has style". 
People are such JERKS
So I was walking Ozzy. Big deal. Whoo.
There's this guy in our neighborhood with a Weimereiner (sp?) and I already know he's a jerk. One time Aiden got out (Mom let him out on accident, oops), and he FLIPPED out. Saying we need to control our ******* dogs and it's people like us that shouldn't own dogs, blah blah blah.
I was going to play fetch with Ozzy, but he was there. So instead, I walked through and headed home. He said, "Great, a dressed up ankle biter." (Ozzy was in his jacket - it was cold out, I wish I took my jacket).
I'm fed up with people calling him an ankle biter. I walked up to him and said, "Excuse me? My 'ankle biter' is actually a POMERANIAN, and a well behaved one at that! So you can shut the h*** up and mind your own d*** business!" During this time, Ozzy sat right next to me, and his dog sat there waiting for him to throw the frisbee.
Then I walked away and he stood there dumbfounded. I think the way I'm dressed helped in my favor. Haha.
Not the best approach, but I'm sick of just 'ignoring' people who think they're better than everyone else. Kick in happy pills, kick in happy pills, kick in happy pills.....

I'm going to have to agree with you.I'm sorry, but I had to reply to this.
I'm a young female as well, and I speak my mind when someone insults me or my dog like this, too. I know what goes on in the world, I'm not naive or oblivious, but I'm not going to be walked all over because I'm afraid of what someone could say or do to me being a young girl. I carry a knife and mace on my walks, have taken a self-defense class, and I'm not afraid to use any of it if I had to.
Just my input.
I am a young girl as well (22 years old and proud of it) and I do not let anyone walk all over me. I dont give a hoot who you are, your not going to get away with insulting me or my dog. I dont take crap, I speak what's on my mind and I dont back down. I'm not afraid.
It looks like our generation has some strong minded girls.
I do not value my life like most of you do, I dont care if I live or die, it's whatever to me. If I died today and had a chance to come back I wouldn't. So I speak my mind and I dont back down. I refuse to listen to insults and not do anything about them.You can be strong minded without putting yourself in harm's way. I not that much older than the rest of you (26) but I agree with Rerun.
Too many people these days can't control themselves and will kill people over the stupidest thing.
To me, a strong minded WOMAN is one who knows when to keep their mouth shut and when to pick their battles. Arguing with an ignorant stranger gets you nowhere fast and potentially somewhere bad faster. And it has nothing to do with how old or young you are.
Their futures are already planned out. I know who gets what animal and those people know as well. They have all agreed to take the animals that I would want them to care of.Who would take care of your furry family? I'm sorry you feel that way and I urge you to do something about it.
I'm not suicidal, I just dont care, I've been through enough crap in this world that if it ended today I wouldn't be disappointed.
