I babies my puppies. I do treat them like my children. But they dont get everything. I want my puppies to be like my kids and my friends.

baby talking to the dog--yup im guilty of that too. and it's actually funa dn it makes the dog smarter that we dont talk to him like he's a dog. he understands a lot of things. but maybe im too delusional LOL. i dont even think of him as a dog anymore but as a baby.

I think it does to.. our neighbors has dogs and i think my dog is smarter because i do talk to her have since she was a baby puppy. Not to be mean but they do have some dumb dogs lol of course they are tied up out side and dont get talked to or anything...

I love my pets...all 10 of them but my 2 yorkies are definitely my babies! I never met two girls more pampered than mine! They even have wardrobes that put mine to shame. Their wardrobes also include a tiara and collars with their names spelled out in crystals! They have such a life! We should all be so lucky! :)

OMG me too! he also has that collar with his name in swarovski crystals! i had to buy a new cabinet jsut for him cos his clothes were getting to be too much! he also has a big drawer full of toys. yes, he has a lot of them. but it's all worth it because he is very sweet.

time had been change and lots of things change when time pass by. We are now take very good care to our pets some can be treat better then thier own children...why? I got no ideas and I always feel sad for those who really poor,helpless folk.....why the pets can be treat better then you?How many children die for hungry every year?yet there's lot of people provide their pets first class living..when pets been ill they can easily pay hundred to tousands for it but at the sametimes someone you don't even know was die cause of no medicines or don't have any chances to be treat!!Thats I feel guilty!!!

i also think about that as well, and you know what it think? "hey, chewy's just lucky his mommy works hard for him." and if you don't take care of your dogs, who would? dogs cannot work for a living like humans, they are dependent on us.

Our dogs act like and are treated like babies, they're spoiled. My kids even make fun of me because I use baby talk when I talk to them.

I definitely do not baby my doggie but I certainly love them very much. Animals are animals... there's no reason to really spoil them, you're supposed to be the one in charge.
