It is a new era!
ROTFLMBO! Eaker you are the BEST! Are you going to print one for me?
One final ping to kick off Hairy’s campaign?
Great news, Congratulations!
How pathetic is a person who self-identifies as the “MOM/DAD” of a dog?
You are their OWNER/MASTER. Unless you gave BIRTH to them, or legally adopted them as a child you are NOT “foo-foo’s mommy”.
This is a personal “PET”-peeve. The pun IS intended.
No matter how much we love them, our critters are still nothing more than that!
My Zippy (Peke/pom/sheltie) is 14 today. He is the best friend I could ever ask for, and I would kill to protect him. That said, he is STILL just a dog. Spazz (rescued from abusive homeS applehead teacup chihuahua) is 3 in April.
They are my DOGS! NOT my children, not my adoptive cousins, not some far related family,
THEY ARE DOGS!
Nothing personal, but folks who refer to their pets as their “children” give me MAJOR indigestion.
Print, laminate and mail.
I run a professional and full service Detective Agency!
I can see from the map on your profile page you have never been to the south of a real country.
Good, you wouldn’t fit in.
I am not the lady at the diner’s “honey” but that is what she has been calling me for thirty years.
I bet that grinds yer wee gears too.
BTW, did you have the grace to congratulate Hairy?
No?
Typical.
Good of you to drop by and let us know.
Best wishes to you, your family and Wilson.
yeah, I’m really provincial.
There’s a wee bit of difference between referring to a customer (no matter how often served) as “dear, darlin’, honey, sweetie, or sugarcheeks”, and referring to your pets as “furkids”, or “the children I never had”.
They’re ANIMALS, for crying out loud!
As for Hairy, you WERE correct, I neglected to congratulate him, since I had completely forgotten this thread.
If I may:
Hairy’s owners: I am genuinely gratified that your dog won this competition. Congratulations, and best wishes for your next endeavor.
Wilson’s owners: Your noble canine friend didn’t win, this time.
Perhaps next time folks will be honest and forthright, and vote ONCE in the poll, like I ALWAYS do. When I suspect a lack of ethics, I don’t even participate.
I am sorely disappointed that I was insulted and had my character impugned by such a longtime member of this site.
All I have to say is:
Do NOT try to communicate with me further, M,MS, MRS, Miss, or Mr Eaker, whomever you wish to be.
I once enjoyed your wit, but you have overstepped. I actually was part of your win in voting for a FReeper’s pet, but think that I have been sullied by my association with you now.
I hope you are satisfied. Good day sir, madam, missy, or whatever you consider yourself.
Maybe the people who refer to themselves as the “Mom/Dad” don’t have children? It’s possible. Or, perhaps their children have grown up and moved out. Who knows? I think it’s rather sweet.
Congratulations, Ditter! Sounds like a special dinner is in order.
Happy New Year!
You were a bitch and the barbs bit.
You cried.
Maybe watch yer mouth next time boy.
If you are feeling froggy I am easy to find. Do a Google search for “Tom Eaker” as I am the first response.
Do you really want to dance wee one?
Thank you, yes a special dinner and it will include Hairy as a special guest!
A lot of people refer to their dogs as their “pup children” or their “fur babies”, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I adopted only 3 human babies but I have adopted dozens of dogs and cats. I certainly know the difference but calling my dogs my “pup children” is not wrong, except maybe to you and one or 2 others.
Wilsonsmom signed up on FR to send me that message and I think that is an extremely nice thing to do. You have no reason to brutally attack her for calling herself Wilson’s mom.
She said it was her daughters dog and admitted that her sons were behaving badly. She sounds like someone I would like to have for a friend, you, on the other hand, do not!
:-D Of course. He’s a cutie, Ditter.
Congratulations to you and Hairy. And Happy New Year to us all!
(May it be better than the last.)
Hairy Wins Pet of the Year.... Heck Yeah
