Yep!!! I get the same thing.....3 dogs?!!! What are you thinking?????

I don't care. Yes they ARE work, but the best work I have ever done? Where else can you get SOOOOO much love in return?!

Wow I never realized that so many people had family and friends who were non-animal lovers!

Not my experience at all. I grew up with animals, many different types of pets. Everyone in my family has at least two dogs except my in-laws who have only one. One sister has 6 dogs. All of my friends have pets --- some only cats, but all are dog lovers.

The only person I remember in my life who didn't like pets was the witch my late Dad married after our Mom died. One of the character traits (flaws) that should have been a red flag to him.

That is a good one! People make comments to me about getting a dog in place of kids....well, If they can find a single good looking man that I can go out with and possibly marry, then the kids just might be in the future...ha!

Then I will have a husband, kid and Izzy!

Oh no, that isn't what I meant at all. Almost all the people I know love animals they just make comments as to why I would have or want so many. I have the time, money and space, soooooooooo.......WHY NOT??!!!??? LOL

I so agree!!!

I over heard my husband on the phone last night talking to a friend, and he was telling them that we have 2 yorkies and I dress them up and treat them like babies. He then said, ohh she even bought them a stroller and I wont even tell you how much she paid for it or you would have a heart attack, he said ohh no, I'm not kidding!

SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! I"M HAPPY!!!!!! it's my life, my money, my babies, I will do what I want and spend as much money on them as I want!!!

ugh a friend of ours just met Addie for the first time and he said "what are you trying to do, fit as many animals in your house and you possibly can?"

ugh! I can see if we had a tiny place or if our house smelled, but 2 cats and 2 dogs in a house isnt that much, plus i keep our place very clean.

I just hate this.
