I could never either! If I ever do have children in the future, I will consider that human child my 2nd baby, LOL. Not 2nd most important, no no just 2nd like Sully is my "firstborn" etc.
My uncle has a poodle that's 6yrs old and a 3yr old daughter that's their 2nd daughter, hehe.
A friend of mine had 2 daschunds for years and years. They were her BABIES. They went everywhere with her and she swore she'd never get rid of them. Ever. But when she got married she stuck to her promise...but when her 1st baby was born, all of the sudden her daschunds were no longer important to her and were given to a rescue.
How sad is that? She was SURE that would NEVER happen! It's heartbreaking! Those poor daschunds, she should have never gotten them in the 1st place if she was not going to be there for them no matter what.
I guess it depends on whether you consider your dogs "family" or "just a pet" because we should never turn our backs on family members, no matter what. |
