I never understand, how somebody can treat their pets as if they are their children. I wonder if this woman is childless?
I may get flamed here, as I know that there are many animal lovers here, and I’m not really one of them. But, even if you love animals and your pets, are they really on the same level as your own children, or a substitute for children???

People call them fur kids. I’m not kidding.
“But, even if you love animals and your pets, are they really on the same level as your own children, or a substitute for children?”
Of course not.
Well, except for my childless, ‘Crazy Cat Lady’ Sister.

P.S. Beau and I have 14 dogs, a few barn cats, a mule and NO kids between us. We are amazingly HAPPY with the situation. In our previous lives, I raised three step-sons to adulthood, he raised 14 Foster kids with his (deceased) wife. We’ve done our part for Society. ;)
I’m in agreement with you. I grew up with and love animals. However, they had their place either as food, work or pets.
Yes, Dilbert. People who never have kids do treat their pets the same as others treat their children. They seem to not have perspective. I love animals. But they could never receive the infinite amount of love I have for my kids.
