Believe me, I understand and meant no offense.
A couple near and dear to us has made the same decision to not have children, and treasures their three dogs as their ‘family’. I respect them wholeheartedly.
At the risk of sounding trite ~ again ~ as challenging as it is to raise and train dogs, it belittles the committment of raising and nurturing children to equate the two.
Your decision is not disgusting, but the dog owners who call them their ‘kids’ are as offensive as the folks who would criticize you for not having children. IMO.
