- Powerfan5000, on 06/24/2009, -2/+73So, are you saying I shouldn't have had my son neutered?
- ItsMeEmilyG, on 06/24/2009, -5/+61Bogus. I doubt I'll ever love a kid as much as my dog.
- floridiot2, on 06/24/2009, -3/+56I'm better than that. I don't beat my pets. It's cruel.
- Haoie, on 06/24/2009, -4/+53Fat dogs, fat kids, fat parents.
I'm starting to see the relationship. - chicagojack, on 06/24/2009, -4/+45the other 50% treat their kids better
- SpykerSpeed, on 06/24/2009, -6/+40This is exactly what Caesar Milan is constantly going on about. People are supposed to be "pack leaders" to their dogs, but instead they are equals. Eventually the dog assumes "pack leader" position and treats their owners like crap, and they wonder why.
- blitzwing85, on 06/24/2009, -0/+29I'm sick of my fish racking up my damn cell phone bill. I should have never bought them that Sidekick.
- Treshnell, on 06/24/2009, -1/+22I know a family like this. Their dog won't eat dog food. At all. Refuses. She'll just go hungry. Instead, they prepare her special meals, hot off the stove or out of the microwave. And if it's not covered in melted cheese, butter, and bacon, she won't eat until it is (not kidding). Desert? They buy her popsicles and icecream. Treats? Straight up beef jerkey. Not that dog jerkey crap. Real beef jerkey. And to drink? Ice water, always. There must always be a tray full of ice cubes ready to be put into her water dish for when she's thirsty.
I mean, I love my pets, but that's just ridiculous. And expensive and unhealthy. - mywhitenoise, on 06/24/2009, -0/+18That dog will die in a year or two.
- evildeadguy, on 06/24/2009, -0/+15I named my cat after Alton Brown.
Cant cook for ***** though. Always making the same dish, "grassy vomit on bedspread" - sartorious, on 06/24/2009, -1/+15That's how zombie outbreaks work.
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -2/+16Ever wonder why kids kill their parents?
- Zegarek, on 06/24/2009, -0/+14It's not surprising really. I'm only 20 and don't have plans of any kids any time soon (knock on ***** wood), but I do have a dog whom I absolutely love and try to take the absolute best care of. He's definitely a member of the family. To say that I would treat him better than my future kids would be a bit of a stretch for me but I can certainly see people saying they would.
- SPARTACVS, on 06/24/2009, -0/+12Nah, they wouldn't have the balls.
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -2/+14I feel the same way about people.
- Xaevier, on 06/24/2009, -1/+12Treat their cars better*
- darknecross, on 06/24/2009, -0/+11Yes you did; you just ***** admitted you did.
- Winkleman, on 06/24/2009, -3/+14I give my rot some of my table scraps... depending on what I just ate. But I always put the food in his bowl. He's not overweight, but I also take him with me whenever I jog.
- Rikkochet, on 06/24/2009, -4/+15People are animals. Animals are people. Mammals. Blood. Organs. Skin. Semen. Sweat. Mortal.
There, I did it. - URnotheonly1, on 06/24/2009, -0/+10they make them wear collars and ***** outside? Eat & drink from bowls. Damn, you people are scary!
- chix0r, on 06/24/2009, -0/+10Wow-I wish I could digg down your comment twice.
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -1/+11Believe it or not, dog food is a relatively new concept. In the past dogs, as well as other domestic animals, survived on table scraps and the like. Pets get fat because they are a reflection of their owners' lifestyle choices.
- Amadeus2490, on 06/24/2009, -4/+14Well, again it's like with children: You don't act CRUEL to them. . .you smack 'em on the butt when they do something wrong and tell them "No!", and praise them and love them when they do something good. Me and my cat are best buddies (he plays like a dog), and I scold him when he does something wrong, but it'd break my heart to see him get hurt, let alone to actually hurt him myself; I just couldn't do that to him. Like, if there was a zombie outbreak and he became infected, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to hurt him even then, because he's my kitty and I love him.
- sb66, on 06/24/2009, -1/+9"43 percent felt their pet had its own "sense of style."
You know, I like pets too; but these people are delusional. - solid12345, on 06/24/2009, -0/+8Isn't that the point? My dog was given a light spank on the bottom if she was bad, it didn't turn her into some anti-social dog she was just as cheerful and loving as any other pet but she knew not to do things like crap on the carpet.
- OptionalPirate, on 06/24/2009, -1/+9"Hey goofball, look who's all neutered! You are! Yeah you're neutered, huh goofball, yeah! Who's a neutered guy?"
- fknrat, on 06/24/2009, -1/+8That opening bit about the person overfeeding their dog all the ***** they themselves eat - I'd hope they DON'T have kids to slowly kill with obesity as well.
- trer, on 06/24/2009, -1/+8Or...50% of Americans Treat Their Kids The Same As Their Pets
- CoD4, on 06/24/2009, -0/+7My friend's dog was killed by a car, he was devastated, he kept saying he loved that dog more than his sisters and his parents. I never heard anyone say things like that
- stpbybay, on 06/24/2009, -1/+8I opted for no kids and cut my cord, its me and my two dogs, I have no back talk no worrying when they are out at night unconditional love, no tattooed faces Love it!
- TheBadWolf, on 06/24/2009, -0/+7Yeah, you're right, people were so much more nutritious and healthy 150 years ago.
*****, man, open your eyes. - neelshiv, on 06/24/2009, -0/+7I once heard my mom refer to our dogs as "the kids" rather than "the dogs." She has gotten them both since my sister and I went to college (but to be fair, we have had dogs in the past as well).
I always joke around with her about her dressing them up and putting them on the bus for their first day of school. I'm glad she treats them so well, because I love them. - Amadeus2490, on 06/24/2009, -1/+8I just find it highly disturbing that awesomeR0B0T can think/talk about getting laid when we're all talking about animals.
Furry. - FrameWraith, on 06/24/2009, -0/+7Typical ignorant moron. Why don't you do the world a favor and go play hide and go ***** yourself.
- mickhead, on 06/24/2009, -1/+7Cats are people too!
- MiDri, on 06/24/2009, -0/+6It's not so much dog food is designed for the dog's health as human food is designed to kill everything that ingests it.
- Amadeus2490, on 06/24/2009, -0/+6And they castrate them to control the human population!!
- MikaStar, on 06/24/2009, -3/+9Yeah I'm guilty of treating my dog like a child. Though I don't have any children, so the dog substitutes as something to love and yeah, I give him table scraps often, but I also take him with me 3 times a week for a 3 mile jog. It's hard not to help seeing a dog like a child, you love them, you care for them, they, in their own doggy ways, love you back. In a lot of ways, dogs are better than kids. At least you know if you treat your dog right, they'll love you forever, unlike a kid that'll grow up, pull some BS on you, and proclaim they hate you forever if you don't get them a new car or whatever.
- ATL, on 06/24/2009, -0/+6I want to live there as their dog.
- maz2331, on 06/24/2009, -1/+7Also keep in mind that cats don't respond at all to physical punishment. All it does is create a mean cat.
- chuckley54494, on 06/24/2009, -0/+6my thought exactly. bad parents bad pet owners
- evildeadguy, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5Of course, I always keep some on my pocket.
- damnmonkey, on 06/24/2009, -2/+7People with robot (even with cool 0s instead) in their screen name can't comment about getting laid. It's against the rules. Sorry!
And, I can totally relate to you Amadeus, my cats (yup, PLURAL!) are the same way to me. People suck! Except my friends and family of course....
Whoops, I'm rambling... - Xaevier, on 06/24/2009, -4/+9I see this a lot sometimes even with my own parents.
Me: Man our dog is looking pretty bad I think its time we put it down (dog is practically dead)
Mom: How could you say that it could easily have 4 months left! How would you like it if we just gave up on you if you got really sick!
Me: Did you seriously just compare me to a dog? /facepalm - ileftfark, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5Have you tried adding a little parsley and allspice?
- Hetman, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5I would be more apt to have kids if I could get them spayed and neutuered until they were not living in my house anymore.
- damnmonkey, on 06/24/2009, -1/+6Cookie?
- nepidae, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5"I mean, I love my pets, but that's just ridiculous."
Its not love, its abuse. - mywhitenoise, on 06/24/2009, -0/+5Overfeeding your dog with junk to the point that they can't climb a bed isn't "treating" them, that's ***** up. I occasionally give my dog some of the food I'm eating, but not to that point. I give him science diet food, and he's in excellent shape.
- EoNhausen, on 06/24/2009, -1/+5It can't climb on the bed? I WONDER WHY!?
