I don't get you, dog lover. You know who you are, let's call you extreme dog lover, for the sake that there are some normal dog owners out there. What I mean by normal is that you love your dog like I love my cat. I love my cat, I pet him, feed him, love that he is a part of our family, and would be sad if he died. I wouldn't save him from a terminal disease with extreme measures, I don't talk about him with coworkers or friends like he is human, I don't take him and "socialize" him, take him to a pet resort (which gives me enough material for another post), or dress him in clothing.... the list could go on and on and on. Like I said, you know who you are. I think they need to make a Real Men of Genius song titled Extreme Dog Lover. Today we salute you, Extreme Dog Lover.
For a long time I believed that the extreme dog lovers that I knew would take it down a notch when they had kids. I really believed that I would stop hearing about how well they socialized, who was the alpha male, etc., but I now know that it won't ever change. These people are who they are, they will not change. I have encountered several people who have dogs and kids that still extreme dog lovers.
Forever, I will have to listen to the stories. The tales oh the dog. Upon the start of the stories, I immediate retreat into La La Land, daydream, hearing NOTHING, like the armor of the bat mobile.. it goes up. I don't care who is the alpha male, I don't care what your dog did last week, today, or tomorrow.
I just don't get you. I get that you love your pet. I don't get to the extreme.
Again, we salute you extreme dog lover.

I am SO with you! It's weird...
Well, you know how I feel about it.
They eat their own feces. So...why do they need daycare?
End of story.

Yes Jason. Shit eating amongst other things that only a dog can do. Why do they need any outside entertainment at all?
I had a co-worker that used to walk her dog in a stroller because it (and I got yelled at when I called it it) wouldn't walk more than a few hundred feet before refusing to walk any further. Pics at work and in her wallet. And the thing was freakin' ugly!
Freakish dog owners have GOT ta go. Not a fan at all of cats, except in Taco Bell and General Tso's "Chicken", but at least the owners aren't usually batshit crazy, that is, unless they own 7, or 10, or 23 or somthin'. Then you've got to start wondering.
Some people are just true pet lovers and to them, their animals are children too (speaking from experience). Yes, I put my children first, but sometimes the furballs have "cuter" days than the kids do, KWIM?! And if the animals were there first, they always have a special place in your heart.
Oh my cat was there first, and I love him dearly.
I just don't talk about his daily activities. : )
thankfully, I don't know any EXTREME dog lovers.
