| It does mean different things for different people. My thing is basically, what the heck is wrong with being a dog! So when I hear someone say, "He's more than a dog", I know the person means the dog is part of the family, or that the relationship is close and special. For me "dog" is more than adequate to sum it up. I will say that when it comes to my kids and my dog, everyone gets medical care and attention and love, but I would give my life for my kids. Does that mean that my kids have more "status"? If it means that, then they do. |

| I fawn all over my dogs, lol. I love them because they are dogs...I enjoy playing with them, teaching them, and snuggling with them. I put bows in Sunni's hair and in the winter I dressed her. Not so much in the nice weather but she's always got some bling on, lol. And I bring her everywhere I can. My stepdad said..."So, you know she's a dog right?" I looked at him and said, "She is?" omg, she is? really? and here I was thinking I adopted a child! haha. My dogs are part of my family. I dont "think" they are human in anyway. I do love being around other "dog" people And lets face it..my dogs love me when I'm happy, sad, mad, ugly, tired, fun, busy...My little George could read my moods better then any human being ever could. And trust me, thats quite a task! He was beyond human....the best part of dogs is that they have the pure love only dogs have. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | If you have Netflix here is a link to an interesting speaker where the subject of anthropomorphize is talked about somewhat.https://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/8004...rkid=200250783 I think to really understand your dog you have to spend three times the amount of time - just watching your dog - his movements - learn his different speaking barks, whines and cries - so twice the amount of time listening - and then intelligent touch. Learn your dogs muscles and bones through touch and sight. Finally learn *what* works for your dog - the commands - the exercises - the food etc etc etc. And gosh I certainly don't want my dog to be human - their dogginess is why I love them so very much. And I totally agree with what that show woman said to remember to let your dog just be a dog.

| I treat my dogs like dogs. Because they are dogs. They are happier ime. Otherwise they fight to be the leader and always have an aggressive or nervous behavior....They ask for permission. The train easier. At the sametime they have fun/ Play. Have noce cloths for warms. Not to look like a baby. Go for walks and are train not to bark at anything that walks. IME a well trained dog is happy dog and is a dog. You can train a baby dog baby...They will rule and not be happy. imo |
