I never told my Mom when I got Pixie, my 3rd dog as she always worried about how expensive they were for vets and how upset I get when they are sick so I didn't want to upset her. Then she passed away and I never got to tell her or show her how cute she was. |
I get teased about it all the time at work but it is usually good natured and I usuallly don't mind. If you can't understand the way I feel about animals in general and my dogs specifically then I don't need you as a friend. One older volunteer in my library quit and I lost her friendship because of her attitude and my mouth. she said to me (In a really disgusted voice) "Who in their right mind would want three dogs?" Without thinking about what I was saying and before I could get my temper under control I blurted out "Who in their right mind would want to have 8 children?" Which was exactly how many she had. I didn't feel good about it but I think if she said it to me today I would still respond in the same way. It is all a matter of personal choice and I have made mine. |

I have referred to Lexi and gotten the comment "Didn't you already have a dog?" To which I reply, "no, I already had 2 dogs.:p " I get ridiculed alot from my grandfather for having dogs in the house. He is from the school of thinking that dog=animal=outside.:rolleyes: |

I just got my fifth one I Know I'm bad. I moved to the country for my dogs. So I could do as I choose.I know people think I'm mental but I love them and they are very well taken care of. Most people think it's funny especially my family. I was never much for the dogs we had growing up I guess because they were my dads hunting dogs they were nice but they couldn't snuggle in your lap, and they weren't mine they were always his. So mostly people just make fun of me I could care less though it's What makes me happy not them. |
Its so nice to know I am not alone :) I no longer have the patience for people who judge/insult/criticize me of my love for my furbaby. I only need my parents, my one and only dearest sister and my hubby to understand and I have their fullest support. What I don't like to hear when they start insulting/judging me, I tell them off and I no longer mind losing a friend or two because they have been a pain my a** for all these years. Before I found this forum, I always thought I have a problem for loving my dogs and animal so much but it is not a problem, I am just being me and now that I am older and more mature, I am so much more comfortable in my own skin and my confidence grew so I am no longer taking s*** from friends who are not really friends. |
My husband mentioned when we were at his moms house that I got another yorkie. Well of course she said the same thing "YOU GOT ANOTHER DOG?" and then when she found out how much we paid it was like it was bash Tracy day for spending so much on the dog. Needless to say I jumped my husbands ARS when we left for even mentioning it cause he KNOWS how she is. Like it is any of her business anyway. :mad: |
my parents think i'm crazy...but i don't care!! The more the merrier! i love them all equally and wouldn't have it any other way..as long as i can provide for them i don't see why anyone should judge me |
Well, as far as my family goes, I've been an animal lover since birth and no one there is surprised! However, since my dh and I have no human children, others often make comments like, "well, you have so many animals since you don't have any kids". Like somehow, that excuses us:rolleyes: Surround yourself with other animal lovers. We went to a "dog club" for doggie socialization, and when it closed we kept it going in our own back yard. When you spend a lot of time around others who love animals, the comments from others stop registering! |
numbers This is why dog people have dog people as friends...when I had 10/15/20 Yorkies none of my friends thought it strange..they had the same..made perfect sense to them ... |
YES!! We have 4 now everyone is giving us a hard time |
