My pets are pets. I love them, but they are animals for God’s sake!

Now I have been a mom since 18, so I have never understood the whole my pet is the same as a human member of my family thing. My pet is part of my family–no doubt…but an animal member of my family and humans take presidence (sp?)…well, depends upon which members LMAO!!!!

Oh! I found this through some sneaky internet looking of BB8 live feeds. Seriously, Amber? Is beyond the beyond. She's over there with old Mel at this point. *sighs* Well at least there's another reason to think to she's stupider than a drowning bag of rocks.

Okay, about BB. I want to snap pretty much everyone but Eric’s neck at this point. And wow did Dick get STUPID all of a sudden. Ahem.

As for the pets? Actually, I would die for my pets. Because I took the responsibility of them, therefore, yes. I know, that makes me weird, and I’m okay with it. Because I don’t think it’s the same kind of love. Of course, dysfunction is my middle name, so take that with what you will.

After watching my family with their kids, I’ve figured out that my animals are just as dependent on me as my niece would be. I don’t plan on having kids, because frankly, I’d strangle the kid if he pissed me off. Not exactly conducive to mommy love there.

And to be fair, my mom equates her kids on par with animals: both can drown as long as she survives.

I love BB. I’ve missed the last few episodes, but I want Dick to win. He’s my type of guy.

And Nixon, the World’s Greatest Dog, Ever? Well, I love him so much my heart could burst.

But if he was in a boat with my kids and I could only save two of them, the little sucker would have to sink like a stone, cuz my kids are my kids.

That said though, I do love him fiercely and passionately. I’d have to, to let the little rat sleep with his bum next to my nose.

But in my heart I know he is my pet not my BABY.

I can’t compare the two since I’m not yet a mother, but I’m sure you couldn’t compare the two anyways. For now, my two doggies are my babies and I think they always will be. Ask me when the little one is in terrible twos and I may have a very different answer for you, but experiencing the death of our family dog last year was like losing a family member – truly. And it’s still hard today as odd as that may sound to some. I love dogs, I always have and I always will. When I become a mother I will love in a whole new way that I’m not even aware of now. You bring up an interesting thought.

I haven’t watched BB in years, too much drama for me. I know if I watched it now, I’d be hooked – and that’s the problem!

Charlie, my dog, keeps moving further and further down the food chain. He’s lucky he gets fed most days, poor dog.

And um reality TV these days scares me.

Pet love cannot be equated to the love you have for you kids, IMHO. My poor doggies have really fallen out of favor now that I have two kids. Sure I like them and want them to be happy and cared for, but it’s not the same as it was before kids.

(I’m thinking of hitting mark as read in my Google reader…so stressful to never be caught up!)
