I really like my pets.....
But do you feel like punching people in the face that call them "fur babies"?
The raised level of status that people have for pets is getting out of control. Bringing them to stores, thunder shirts for storms and fireworks. JFC it's a disposable part of your home that 90% of people will replace within a month of it's death. Get a grip. It's not a human. It licks it's own ass and ball. NTTAWWT.
End rant.

I've never heard anyone call their pets fur babies. Punching anyone in the face that says that seems to be an appropriate response though.

I like our cats (especially one in particular) more than I like most people.
However, yeah, "fur babies" makes me wanna punch something.

Floyd is that legit? My wife and daughter came across one at a fair that was very tame and loved attention.

Ha, almost. I came across that early yesterday evening while out on my bike, maybe 3/4 of a mile from home. It wasn't looking too good so i went back this morning but it was gone. It was ginormous, bigger than a football.

I don't have any pets at the moment, but calling them disposable is fucked up.
Yet another reason that Kingston is a dipshit who is always wrong. Tell us again how Cake in the Ocean is the greatest song ever written...

I'm about 96% sure it is. I actually did have one as a pet when I about 16. Kept it in my sister's wading pool for a few days.

I don’t call my dog my fur baby, but don’t care/get upset when I hear a woman call their pet one. Ive never heard or read of a guy doing it.
However, what would make me want to punch someone in the face, and probably would, is if they said to me most of the rest of what you posted. What a condescending prickish thing to say.

Re: I really like my pets.....
Was on a road up in the Leelanau and a guy flagged us down. Was off his bike so figured he had a bike issue. Turned out there was a snapper (about the size of the one in your picture) in the road he didn't want to get hit. About 5 or 6 other cars ending up stopping too and everyone got out to look. One guy went to pick it up to move it off the road but it wanted no part of that...mean and surprisingly quick. Took maybe 10 minutes but he finally got hold of it and moved it way off the road.Floyd Robertson wrote:The Pantry wrote:Is that a snapper?

Pretty sure it’s a Florida cockroach. Non-native to Michigan.

I've been attached to most of the pets I've owned. I guess I draw the line when people start treating them like humans. It's ok to love them but they aren't human. For instance I have a good friend who enters her dog in "beauty" contests. Really? C'mon now...

I think I interpreted that as the dog is being put down tomorrow after numerous surgeries, chemo, and gene therapy?

If you view pets as disposable, I have a hard time believing you've ever been attached to one.kingstonlake wrote:tGreenWay wrote:

They are disposable in the sense that they are replaceable. And usually are. You can buy them off a shelf. You can order them. Choose your options like a car. Go to a dealer, like a car. Be honest. Most people replace them quickly after they die. There's nothing wrong with that. It's ok to want the companionship.

"Fur babies" is mostly a chick thing AFAIK. They also sometimes dot their i's with little hearts and call strangers "sweetie". Yawn, so what, and who cares.

You're coming across as someone who lost sight of the original post and the types of pet owners I was taking issue with and how THEY view their pets. As replaceable accessories...
But that's ok.

I just can't stand the people who have an Instagram account for their dog. And the people who compare raising a pet to raising a child.

DR, I never thought of an instagram account for my dogs. I could troll other dog owners who have similar accounts. On second thought, nope, not going to happen seems like too much effort.

Dog owners (i guess any owner) who won’t shut the fuck up about said owner of _______ are the worst.
Or females who love dogs. Oh you love dogs? So does everyone else. Shut the fuck up
