OP is 100% right.
“Dog parents” are pathetic. |

Just throwing this out there, but if you adopt a human child, are you not their parent? Or do you own the child?

LOL. Nobody cares.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just throwing this out there, but if you adopt a human child, are you not their parent? Or do you own the child? You don’t adopt a pet. It is phrase used to make you feel like you are doing something more than purchasing or being given an animal. Petsmart is not an official adoption agency. |

Quoted:
The phrases of “pet parent” or “dog mom” are for the mentally ill. You didn’t give birth to a dog and you didn’t get a dog pregnant. You own a pet, that’s it. Pet owner. Let me know when you drop $5,000 taking your dog to Disneyland. Personally I dont understand why people worry about this sort of stuff, isn't affecting anything with any of our lives lol If someone wants to be a "dog mom" who cares? |

Our Vet staff calls them "kiddos" in front of our actual children. It's silly, but not offensive.
If you are willing to sacrifice your own life for your pets, I will concede any title of "pet parent" to you. I will also consider you to be insane. |
