I love dogs but...

Two thing: one most people who buy the really high end stuff don't have kids. two they have the money to spend. My MIL has a cow that we buy our animals organic food, the birds are often fed meals, and the cats get wet food every day (and not that cheap BS either). my Aunt has no kids, she is single and has 2 dogs. They won't wear clothes, but they have a ton of different collar, get high end food, and the best medical treatment money can buy. Design clothes are a bit much, but our animals deserve the same quality of life that we have. I would feel bad if I was eating all organic yet buying our cats crappy Supermarket level food filled with Ash, filled and meat by products.

Some dog lovers if no all treat their pets like their own babies and they don't really think twice in spending a lot of money for them.I have a team mate who would rather have dogs than kids ( that's what she told us ) i don't know why but she said its much easier to take care of dogs than human. Happy mylotting!

I am into dogs both breeding and showing. When I take care of a dog, I make it a point that he gets the best food and medical attention of a vet. If I cannot afford that I prefer not to own a dog at all. I don't want a dog to suffer under my care. On the other hand I understand that there are a lot of hungry children dying in poor world countries. Are dog breeders who spend lots of money on dogs who are the culprits that these hungry children are dying? Or is it the government's bad policy who prefer to invest in arms and military?

maybe they see on their dogs what we see on our kids, when I think sometimes, I a thinking of owning a dog too when the kids are already big (I am not a dog lover but I think it is the only way to save me from boredom)and I think I could much love to the dog as much as I have loved my kid when they are younger, I mean I think I would care for the dog like it is my own baby. maybe you should try owning one

Yea i love my dog, but i love humans too and i prefer them. Anyways the dogs are good friends (if you give them food) . Have fun!

I think Dogs should not at all be treated like humans, people keep dogs like their own kid, thats really stupid. I think dogs should only be kept is for security, because its a smart animal and can help people. But people cry and do stuff like that when thier dog gets sick or die. Its a animal, its place is in its cage/dog house not in humans bedroom sleeping next to them.

My dogs are my kids, plain and simple. They get the best I can give them, and according to people who know my dogs, they're "spoiled rotten". I don't dress my dogs in clothes, but they do have free run of the entire house 24 hours a day, steps leading up to the beds, couch, and recliner so that they don't have to jump, toys everywhere, they're fed a great diet consisting of human quality food and a little premium dog food, they get vitamins and they go to the vet more often than I go to the doctor.

I think they are very rich. So, they can buy their dogs everything. This is how they live with themselves

I agree with you some people really baby dogs. I have no room to talk I love my puppies and they wear playboy and paygirl outfits. It's very easy to understand with women who don't have children or who are unable to have children, but in other ways I can say wow that's too much. I love my animals but definately will tend to my families needs first and foremost and then the animals. They are beautiful animals. And will take care of them any way that I can, however, my children come first. Great discussion.

My dogs are my babies. I do not dress them. but they get everything they need. Food , love, vet care. my dogs go to the doctor more often than I do. Because I made the choice to bring them into my life it is my responsibilty- just like it would be that of a mother having a child.. to take care of them the best i can thru their whole life. I do not throw them away just because my life has changed. I change my life to make their life more pleasant. I bought my house so that my dogs would have a big back yard to play in. I bought a Suv car so that I could take all my dogs together for a ride. I feel for the hungry humans of the world. but the humans have a control over their own life. If they can't feed thier children shouldn't they not have so many. If I couldn't feed all my animals I would not have so many. I would rather be in the company of my animals than humans anyday. they give you unconditional love. and they don't use you or stab you in the back or betray you or any other such thing that humans are capable of.

A dog becomes a part of tehfamily and often its diet is more3 than humans speically if you have dogs of the larger variety like a German Shephard.

i love dogs.. in fact i have a dog pet too.. but our relation is like a give and take. my dog is worthful and have such important task in our house. thats why she is treated as what should the pet dogs be treated.

I think,we shud leave tht upon the respective owners.If they can afford to provide their pets such luxuries,then who are we to comment on them??If they treat their pets like their babies,it may b b'cos they consider them as their babies.

maybe people need something after thier kids have gotten thier own family and need something to occupy them. for example dogs! my anut is also like ures after her kids went away she got a new dog. also if their treat thier dogs better then humans something is wrong. maybe the people ahve grown up ith dogs all of thier lifes. thats why thier respect them so much because theey love them. a easy way to show love to them is buying them things
