Thanks for the clarification, all!
Even though I get grief from my relatives, Tucker is definitely not "just a dog" to me, and I guess I don't treat him like one either. I thought maybe I did because I don't feel like anything I do is excessive...I mean seriously, how can you resist those cute little faces?!? He sleeps in our bed (even though before we got him, my husband and I both vowed, "No dogs in the bed, ever"), I research all his food and treats, I make some treats from scratch and give him fruits and veggies all the time, I have clothes for him, he has his own car seat, I try to plan special fun outings for him at least once a week (dog parks, pet stores, etc), I smother him with endless kisses and I am addicted to YT!
