Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has to choose a relative.
I bought my daughter a Chihuahua and I fell in love with it. So now I carry Coco around with me all the time.
I'm a dog lover - I've had them since I was younger.
What dogs? These are my children, little people with fur who make my heart open a little wider.
People always want to compare their dogs to having kids. That's insulting. First of all, nobody has a dog because they were too drunk to pull out.
Adopting a pet is like taking the responsibility of a baby.
I think you're kind of seeing the real me as far as seeing what I post on social media, because I am very much into cooking, and my dogs, and obviously my son, and my lifestyle in Santa Cruz is very laid-back.
I live with an 18-month-old Jack Russell named Chicken. He moved in about 15 months ago, and it was very hard at first because I work a lot and he doesn't.
Owning pets is as close to a universal phenomenon as, I think, anything.
Americans are very big about loving the dog first, so when you tell them you have to set rules and limitations, a lot of people believe it's going to hurt their feelings. They're actually looking for you to be the pack leader.
I am definitely a dog person. I feel like Webster and I are very much alike.
I've two huge German shepherds who are my boys. They're called Biscuit and Buster, and I love them to bits.
I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.
Wasn't growing catnip in one's yard the kitty equivalent of giving candy to children?
Horses and dogs were part of my growing up years.
My dogs are spoilt for sure. They are pampered pooches. But I love them so much! I guess all dogs need to be washed, but maybe blueberry facials aren't essential. It's quite fun, though. You want to give your children everything; I don't have children, so I want my dogs to have a good life.
My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs.
I always thought I'd adopt - I have a dog but no children.
When you raise an animal, you live it like your own child.
Dogs are not people. Be leery of any woman who refers to her dogs as her 'kids,' because you'll only end up paying for their schooling.
Pethood is hard.
I'm the best animal lover in the world. There's nobody who takes care of their pets like me...... they are my children.
People have been asking me if I was going to have kids, and I had puppies instead.
If I had Instagram, it would be pictures of my son, who is a cat.
I have dogs in my house and much like teenagers at some point, they leave the parents. Even though they're in the same house, they live independently. I think that's how I live with the Chihuahuas.
