Seriesly...I love my dogs but sure wouldn’t want an animal in the delivery room. People are weird.
There is a peculiar over-affection for animals and treating them like people. I think it comes from the lack of respect for human life and the multi-cultural everything-is-equal attitude. Saw a shared post from a dog trainer I know that said “like a baby, Chihuahua puppies have a soft spot on their head that closes as they age” accompanied by a soft-focus closeup aren’t-I-the-cutest-baby-dog photo. Just weird.
“... just weird”.
I agree. Don’t get me wrong.. love my doggies but sheesh. My younger SIL actually sent out birth announcements when she purchased two puppies. Yes, she did. She referred to them as “twins” and some of her weird friends actually purchased “baby gifts”.
Jesus had animals around him when he was born...We are getting distanced from animals.
The relationship of love and kindness that animals bring is a positive for humans. It increases the respect for all living beings. I trust people who love animals much more than those who don’t.
