I don't have kids, I am married to a person who equally loves animals. I am a Pet Sitter (Call Me Pet Sitter | Pet Sitting Services), so when I am not with my fur babies, i am with someone's dog, cat, horse, etc. I love my job because I am doing what I am most passionate about.....loving animals!

This past week, I took Baxter and Bayleigh to Happy Hour at Three Dog Bakery. I mentioned it to my friends, both on the phone and Facebook, and they ALL said, "I have gone too far & I am crazy". (their exact words). However, half of them mistreat their animals, I don't mean beat them, but they will leave them outside, not bathe them, feed them crap, never take them for walks & then get mad at them when they do something wrong.

I realize the needs of dogs. They need constant stimulating & they need to be exercised & played with as much as possible. Our dogs (my babies) have their own bedroom. When I am not with them, they are playing with their toys, or they are watching Animal Planet (yes my dogs watch tv).

I miss out on a lot of things with my friends because I don't want to constantly leave my animals home alone. I am OK with that, but again they make cracks, "Dana is the crazy dog lady and she won't be here." Now, I go out to dinner with them, but I don't feel the need for constant bar hopping, geez....I am 37 years old. My husband is in a softball league and he understands that I can't make every game because that would mean leaving our babies for a few hours alone.

Anyway, I am SICK and TIRED of my so called friends saying I am crazy. WHY? Because I don't have snotty nosed kids that scream when they dont get their way? Why am I weird because I dont have a desire to have children (atleast rightnow, and who knows if I ever will)? It is getting to the point that my friends make me ill because they can't keep their mouths shut! If you think I spend too much time with my animals, keep it to yourself. I am not interfering with YOUR world.

UGH. Anyway, sorry that this is so long. I just have to ask my YT Family, AM I crazy? lol

Well mine say it too, as like it or not, I email them updates on what my girls are doing and what we have been up to.

They REALLY called me crazy when both girls had birthday parties.

After I get through posting this, I am going to see if my local 3 dog has happy hour. I am desperate for places I can take the girls where they are welcome.

That being said....
In a world where strange men snatch little girls and hold them captive for 18 years, rape and impregnate them.
where stange men slap two year olds in the Wal mart.

YOU could be doing a lot worse things than spending your time money and love on your animals.. Case closed.
