...are people who just dont GET the dog/owner dynamic!
I've read on here so many times about people who have encountered others who thought they were "nuts" for treating their furbabies as if they were a real child. WHAT IS SO NUTS ABOUT IT? It's a living, breathing thing - it's dependent on YOU to provide the things it needs. I am sooo in love with my little Oscar that the thought of anything happening to him brings tears to my eyes. I almost prefer his company to people! I've spent a small fortune on him in clothes, toys, brushes, shampoos/conditioners, etc, etc... you name it! And why the hell not? It's sooo awesome to come here and read posts from others who feel the same way - to know I'm not the only "crazy"
one out there. My bf teases me, but he 'gets' it.
Another thing that gets me: The other day a man was doting on Oscar and said to me "I assume it's a girl?" and then gives me this "are you crazy?" look when I tell him HE is a BOY. He's referring to the topknot on Oscar's head - which I love. And I've said it in posts before - the topknot is not a gender thing, it's a YORKIE thing. This is a huge annoyance to me - defending the topknot.
People just don't get it.. and I wish they'd all just bugger off....
sorry... just needed to vent....
