Nope not crazy at all!!!! I also am fed up with all the jokes about me - friends call me the female dog whisperer. They think I exaggerate when it comes to my furbabies especially when I've placed pups. They don't understand when I don't approve of a specific home. I keep hearing "It's just a dog!" I HATE when they say that What's sad is that I actually don't go out with them much anymore because I don't want to hear it My husband and kids understand my passion and love for animals but unfortunately none of my friends do

| It's nice to know we're not alone. Like many of you I love animals period. One of my favorite places is the zoo. I know people who think they are only for children. I think that's sad.

| I bought a stroller at petsmart for mine and I don't care if people do think I'm crazy. If I go to get it out of the car my husband says "your not taking that thing are you" but that doesn't stop me either. I like the one I got because it has a sip in mesh front so they can't get out. I could get all 3 of mine in it. |

| you're not crazy! I petsit too so I understand how you feel abotu animals. I tend to be a blunt person. I get called bitch a lot, but I tell it like it is. I told my friends if they have a problem with the way I treat my animals then they can go elsewhere. I don't tell them how to live their life and raise their kids. They need to learn to do the same.

| I too was called crazy when I first got Molly. Mainly because she's small (4 lbs) and I occasionally dress her up. And, in the cold weather, I make sure she has sweaters along with a new jacket I just ordered for her for the winter to keep her warm. Oh, I was also crazy when I got her Kwigy Bo Alexa carrier and was totally out of my mind when I ordered her PetZip Monogram stroller for her. To me it makes sense to use when doing a lot of walking. My family have always been animal lovers, but my friends and some of my family think that I have gone overboard with Molly. Now, that I'm older, I don't let a lot of comments like that bother me like they would have when I was younger. Molly is just as special and important to me as my children are. In fact, she almost acts like a spoiled child at times. hehe

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Funny....this week no one really said anything to me. I have rescued 3 animals in the last 2 weeks, so they actually sent me compliments. My friends know how I am always taking dogs in and one of them sent me a package of goodies this week with a sweet note. She said, "Here is some things you will need for the dogs you bring in. It is good for the kids, and we will fill another box for you & when it is full I will ship it out. It is great for the kids to know they are helping my friend love and care for unwanted animals." I was totally floored! That one nice compliment made all the other bad ones not mean anything. |

| I too am sick of hearing how crazy I am. This weekend I picked up my third Yorkie baby from his foster mom's house upstate and the next day drove with my three dogs, my sister and her Cavalier puppy, three kids and a kitten to deliver the rescue kitten to his new home in Brooklyn. At this point in my life, my children are growing and having social lives of their own and I am single and love spending my free time (what little there is) with my Yorkies. If I could afford to, I would just work with animals, I think I like them better than people (generally). Dog people get it, and the others' opinions I don't care about.
