 | |  | | My human may be a little goofy over me, but she is definitely not crazy. Others think she is crazy, but she really doesn't care! Mom doesn't have kids yet, so right now I am her baby. I will always be her baby thats for sure, but non-pet people just don't understand how much we mean to our parents. There are people who "own" pets and then there are "pet lovers". Our parents fall into the lover category. They just have a special bond with us that not many people can figure out. My mom always gets crazy looks and some stupid comments when she talks so much about me, but she has learned to ignore it. Her boss and co-workers sometimes laugh when she talks so much about me, but she doesn't care. Mom is lucky, she has one co-worker who is as insane about dogs as she is, and he will listen to every single story mom has about me!! Mom is also lucky because about 1/4 of a mile from our house we have this magnificent, FREE, dog only, fully fenced in 1 acre park where we go every single day to play. Every other parent there is just as goofy over their dogs as my mom is and they talk and brag about us, non-stop. It's a dog heaven there! Non-pet people just haven't realized the joy of loving a pet so much. Where else on earth can one get such unconditional love for such a small price?? Mom understands how your mom feels though. Sometimes, people don't understand the priority we take in our parent's lives. My mom takes vacation time from work not to go out shopping for a day, but to be able to take me to the vet for my shots, or the groomer or something else I may need. My health, my security, my comfort is much more important to her than a day at the beach, so she will gladly take a day off work to spend with me!! I love that. Mom and I are the best of buddies. So, no, our parents aren't crazy, I think the rest of the world, who doesn't love dogs and other pets the way our parents do, are crazy and missing out on some of the best love in the world!! |  |  | |  |

Hey Casey! Way to go, this is a great topic! Our people are always trying to justify what we do to other people who don't get it. They deserve a little appreciation from us. Personally, I think my Mommy is great! She's completely sane and normal... not crazy at all. "Crazy" would be if she never adopted me, or my new baby sisters, or my horsie big brothers.... "crazy" would be if she never called out "sick" on really nice days to play with us and take us places,... "crazy" would be if she bought herself new clothes or stuff instead of food and treats and vet visits for us all.... "crazy" would be if she used most of her $$ to pay her own bills every month and if there was any left over then buy the things we needed, instead of the other way around... The really crazy humans are the ones who use that horrible phrase "just a dog" or "just an animal". Because really, that kind of discrimination probably doesn't stop there. Those humans are the ones who say things like "just a kid", "just an old person", "just a worker", just just just... watch out for those crazy nut-jobs! And maybe when no one is looking, poop on their lawns! heheheheeh
