I have 13 golden retrievers — they eat 400 lbs of food a month and run my house

Collin Standon, 24, is living the dream after deciding to keep an entire litter of Golden Retriever puppies — in addition to the three dogs he already owned.

Standon, who lives in Texas, already was a pet parent to dogs Chloe and Sam — who later went on to have a litter of nine puppies — in addition to Chloe’s sister Emma. Later, he adopted Buddy from a shelter, so the golden retriever wouldn’t be put down.

Now, he has 13 fully grown dogs: Buddy, Chloe, Sam, Emma and the nine puppies, named Rocky, Moose, Raider, Cowboy, Pumpkin, Sunshine, Missy, Angel and Callie.

"Pet parent" is a bizarre mind-set.

Many people love their dogs, would even risk their lives for their dogs... but it is bizarre to consider their dogs as their "children".

It denigrates real parents.

There are worse fates in life than being locked into a house with a dozen or more golden retrievers.

“Better than 13 cats any day”

Except for the 400 pounds of food a month.

Not even a Mexican Hairless? Who didn’t want to be deported back across the border?

The Mexican Hairless dog, the xoloitzcuintli (pronounced “show-low-itz-QUEENT-ly”) gets its name from two words in the language of the Aztecs: Xolotl, the god of lightning and death, and itzcuintli, or dog.
