Some women can’t have babies and our desire to nurture is strong as a species.

You’ve never had a great dog I assume. Which takes time, training, and love. Not like parenting at all right? They are better behaved than most children.
There is no way I believe locking dogs in pens and kennels away most of the day because they can’t be part of the family unit is right.

If it doesn’t effect my life at all, then no, why would I have even a second thought as to what someone else considers as their child. They could have a turtle and call it a baby…dress it up and everything and push it around in a stroller, and I would literally just carry on with my day 
It doesn’t ‘take away’ from what other Moms do for their human children…We all have our own struggles as parents / pet parents.

It’s weird I agree! It’s a dog like any other wild animal it will turn on you. No matter the cloths you put on it or the bed you give it to sleep in! It’s a dog not a human period. People are also very weird about their cats…

They are like children to us. We took on the responsibility of caring for them and providing them with their needs to have the best life possible. Our dogs are our family. They sit with us. They comfort us. They travel with us. They have their own beds but usually sleep with us. It’s not at all weird to us. We choose them and we will do our best to be sure that they have the best life possible.

Your not alone on your opinion
I have 2 children and I can’t just go to work and leave them home
But that being said I also respect their feelings because they do love their dogs especially my friends who do not have children go all out for their pups. I will probably never understand but that’s ok I love my friends and I love their dog kids because they are important to them.

People can feel however they want about their pets. I do find it annoying when they compare how it’s the same level of stress and difficulty as taking care of children. But a lot of people have pets bc they can’t physically have children. So whatever. Do you.

I take it you don’t have a dog.
Most people have a bond with their animal, some stronger than others. Put it like this if you were looking after a dog which was older, possibly arthritic, would you rather it slept on a hard cold floor where it struggles a bit to get up and moving or would you rather give it a warmer comfy bed which gives some comfort and alleviates some of the pain?
When we take on the responsibility of looking after an animal we should do it to the best of our ability. They do become part of the family.

It’s none of your business and being responsible for pets is a job yes. I have children and pets. I still call my pets my babies. So what? Why do you care? When my dog couldn’t walk anymore because he was 15 I got a stroller for our walks. Why shouldn’t he still enjoy the walk he took with me for over 15 years? Those pets are by our side 24/7. They are part of our family.

Depending on breed and behaviors, dogs are 100% equivalent to taking care of kids. They SHOULD be treated like family.
Our one dog, super laid back. Doesn’t do dopey shit. The other though… you gotta watch him like a hawk because he will run out of any open door. He WILL play in stuff he isn’t suppose to. It’s like a toddler.
If it’s so weird to you why you worrying so much about it, to me that is weird

You are wrong. Fur babies require more attention than my children did ( they’re grown now). Pets require as much work as a toddler and they live for many years and you do love them like you love your babies because they are your babies too.

I might have thought it was weird when I was a young RN taking care of humans, but I left nursing and opened a doggy daycare, boarding and grooming facility to work along side of my veterinarian husband. The relationship, bond and love is very strong between a pet parent (yes, I said it) and their fur kid(s)… ()it is amazing.
I absolutely adore and love the little stray beagle that was dropped at my business the day after I opened, I do not equate her to my children or grandchildren and I do not call call myself her mom, but don’t care if someone else does.
Also, the pet industry has taken that relationship to an unbelievable height by making “Dog Mom” shirts, hats, koolies or any other product you can imagine. It is a “thing”.

I’ll say this. It is easier taking care of dogs than kids. Even my stubborn a$$ Groot here. However I treat them like my kids. They are my family. I do birthdays with dog cakes for them. I dress them up for Halloween as well. I have german shepherds (my favorite breed) so I don’t put them in strollers but I don’t hate on people with little dogs that do. So if I’m weird I’m 
ok with my weird self.

Those animals are living their best life, despite how you think their owner should keep them. Is what she is doing hurting you? You could put away your judgemental thoughts and just let each person live as they should. No one is telling you it’s how you have to do things. She is guilty of loving the hell out of her animals. Back up. For real, take YOUR ridiculousness somewhere else, I’m sure she doesn’t need your judgment at all.

I have an almost two year old but still consider both of dogs my “kids”. I actually refer to them as my fur babies. There’s definitely a difference between parenting a child and caring for animals but I’ll say financially so far, my five year old medically complex dog costs way more than what my toddler has this far. You still have to schedule them appointments, get their shots, give them food and water, take them/let them outside (both of my dogs must be supervised outside), buy them food, get them medicine, they get sick, etc. My dog has several things wrong with him but chronic pancreatitis is one of them - so they can definitely get similar illnesses/diseases as people My dogs are big dogs so they don’t have strollers. They would have dog beds but my 3yo dog had a tendency to chew them up when he was younger. So I don’t think it’s weird - but who is to judge someone else for loving and caring for their dog more than what others would?!

Yes pets are family but they are NOT your children. You can leave a dog at home in a cage or let it free roam while you go to work. If someone did that with a child they would be in a lot of trouble. There’s a huge difference.

I have 2 kids and 2 dogs. And my dogs are part of the family. When my first dog turned one, I had a birthday party for him. All his friend dogs came to our house and I had dog cake and a tuxedo for him to wear. The only difference between my dogs birthday party and my kids birthday parties would be that the dogs couldn’t eat the cake together lol. Too many dogs that wanted it at the same time and a fight could have broke out if we didn’t have them eat in different areas haha.

I don’t like the comparison because they are not the same and kids have to be raised and there’s really no comparison pets are easier to take care of….BUT… we loooove dogs and any dog of ours is family and have their own bed, lay on our sofa, we cook for them and they have coats in the winter.
