So they arent dogs anymore?! I went to petsmart a while back, and there was a lady with a lil cockapoo puppy , i went up and asked if i could pet her, and the dog was so sweet and all i said was "omg you have such a cute dog" and she looks at me like im crazy and sais "shes not a DOG you know! shes part of the family!" and she put finger air quotes around dog like i said something completely absurd, and then she marches off all mad. yes, i understand that dogs are family and your babies.. but arent they still dogs? If i would've called her dog a mutt or something disrespectful, i would've expected an attitude. I love dogs, and i know that when i get mine im gonna love dressing her up and caring for her and she will be my baby . but she will still be a dog. does calling her a dog mean i will love her any less? i don't think so. whats ur opinion? |
"people" like that don't deserve a "dog", she obviously is delusional. I would have said the same thing you said about an adorable dog. |
I think that woman was a little uppity. I call mine babies and sometimes I call them dogs but i would never get mad if someone called them dogs |
yes i love my dogs like my babies but they stiil dogs for me too.:aimeeyork |
mine are hairey children thats what everyone says to me i love you hairey baby dont know why she got made tho sine they are dogs |
hmm...sounds like she needs to go get checked out...no matter how much we love our dogs...they will always be dogs...ahaha |
That's just silly! Of course we love them like they are a part of the family, but they are still dogs and we are still humans and fish are still fish and birds are still birds and so on and so on. I mean, comeoooon, "dog" is just a term for the type of animal it is, not a dirty word! |
That is a bit extreme. A lot of people are a bit too defensive. It is not like you said Can I pet "it" or "that thing." Sorry you had to deal with someone like that. |
Sounds like she is 5 cans short of a six-pack. :rolleyes: |
Yeah - what Dartprincess said! Boy Cesar Milan would have a hay day with that whack job!! All I can say is...that poor DOG!!! LOL |
I think I would have done a eye roll and muttered "weirdo" under my breath, just loud enough so that she could hear me. LOL Of course they are dogs. My kittens are cats, my children are my children, my husband is......well, that's another story. LOL |
I've learned a long time ago to just smile and keep walking. :D Ya just never know what to say to anyone these days anyway. |
I think of my dogs as children also and spoil them like crazy, but there's no way I would get offended by someone calling them dogs. They are dogs... |
I would have said, "She's a dog all right, her mother is a b****!" Okay, I really wouldn't have said it but I would have thought it. |
