It's a Dog's Life!!

I love my dogs, sweetie. But even if i treat them with all the luxuries in life, i won't put my life on hold for them. They are cared for and loved like mad, but they know when i ned a break now and then. I don't think people should treat their animals like that. What will they do when they loose them? We should always think of that, unfortunately. TATA.

Well, some dogs do and some dogs don't. But I think if one is going to have a pet then they should treat them well. I know some people over do it and treat their pets better than their flesh and blood family members. If I was a dog I would want her as my master.

hi bluepavilion thats a lucky dog owner too who can afford all that even for a beloved pet, but I think too much of any thing is too much. I never went quite that far when I had a dog. but we were always good to our dog of cou rse and loved her. I think anyone dog or human who is way overpampered might actually be a little unhappy too.. My friends would always come first, as my dog could surely eat her meals without me.I have never been able to treat myself to a spa much less a dog. he he.

Hello bluemoonpavilion, You are right, some of the pet owners pamper their pets too much. Yes, they do have a better life, better than poor people sleeping on park benches trying to warm themselves up burning or covering themselves up with newspapers. How unfortunate.

Hi, bluemoonpavilion! I have noticed that you said "sometimes dogs have a better life than some hunman beings". The reason is "some human beings treat animals better than treating other human beings". According to above, we can infer that "two of a trade seldom agree."

Yes, I sometimes think that they have a better life than us but it's a give and take relationship between the owner and the pet so it's really a fair trade. They take out the stress from their owners especially after a hard day at work. It's also an unconditional love and since they're very loyal, they won't ignore their owners, and in fact sometimes know how their owners feel. Even if they're not pampered, just as long as you feed them and give them shelter, it's okay for them. But there's also a limit to how much you can actually give attention to your pet. As you've stated there's a lady you know who preferred her pet over her friends...I guess it's better to set a time for your pet and a time for your friends/family but not in excess.

Hi bluemoon! In some cases you are so right! My cats, Star & Luna have a pretty good life. I spoil them as much as I can. I love them more than anyone or anything in the world. Last month I was worried that Star had a kidney problem because his urine smelled like ammonia and Luna was vomiting alot so I took them both to the Vet. I am on Disability so that was something I just didn't need to add to my bills, but they come first! It cost me $405, (which I will be paying off for a very long time) but, thankfully, so far they both checked out ok after blood tests and an X-ray for Luna! It was worth every penny to know that my "boys" weren't deathly ill. My last two cats cost me thousands because one had a heart condition and then got Cancer and the other always had urinary problems and other health issues. It didn't matter what it cost me, I did anything for them that I could to keep them healthy and comfortable for as long as I could~

Well if you look at it that way It would be a nice life that someone pampers you each day but do you really wanna be a dog? hehe As a dog lover myself I really pamper my dogs because there are something about dogs that are able to relieve you some stress specially how they show their affection to their masters in their own way. Well having a life without bills to pay dealing people with different unique attitude each day and also going to work each day is quite a hassle. My friend really loves her dog and she even colors her dogs hair at a saloon. It would nice to be in a life with no worries just give love to the master that loves you hehe..just minus the butt sniffing and stuffs dogs do hehehe

For me yes they think they are comfortable so even if you take out in them in your home they want to support you and like your caring.

I am a pet owner,a dog lover and a dog enthusiast.I love my dogs,I had to brush their teeth everyday,let them run around the backyard for almost an hour and sometimes walk with them.They had been cared for.I had one dog that been sleeping in my room,she cannot sleep without air condition,she is love like a kid.Maybe as a pet owner we will include them also as a part of the family.

I think that it is shameful to have such example of people who treat their pets like that in our country. Simply because I got disgusted when I compare the life of a "dog" with a life of a humain who can't even fnd what to eat, where to sleep, clothes to wear, and I figure out that a dog lives better then a humain being!! I'm not against having pets but we should not exagerat giving them over what they "deserve". Dogs still dogs, no matter how we treat them. However,if we calculate the money expended on pets, we can easily notice that it incredibly HUGE!! so why not using it to improve people' lives, people who really need to be supported: poor families, orphans, victimes of wars ..;we can also eradicat hungre from the word, put an end to crimes, eradicate illitracy too .. Have a nice day.

hi ,i am a new one here,i am glad to meet you. i am a student studying in beijing now from a village, many times i see persons here just walk around with their dogs and talk to their pets sometimes,"honey,come on or this way". without doubt these dogs are lucky for they are taken care of well by their owners-humanbeings. although it is not feasible to compare people with dogs or pets,i had to say, to some extent,the pets have indeed a better life than some people from the poor districts. my english is poor, sorry for mistakes in the paragraph.
