Dog Treated Like People
| by Bruce Bussell | January 13, 2006
Have you ever noticed that some people are just plain crazyabout their dogs while others just have a dog. You know whatI'm talking about, don't you? Some people talk about their doglike others discuss their children.
One day, while waiting in line at the local Wal-Mart, I overheardtwo people talking about their children, or at least I thought theywere talking about their children. One of them said something about Cheryl being real fussy about her breakfast. He saidthat Cheryl loved her eggs over easy and that the bacon hadto be not too crisp but not too undercooked.
The lady the man was talking to agreed that her Freddie wasjust as picky about his hair. It seems that Freddie gets upsetif she doesn't comb his hair to the side the right way. She saidif she combs the hair to the right Freddie gets angry.
Let me tell you, when the man started talking about Cheryl notliking to go outside in the cold weather to her business, I was alittle startled. Then I realized that these were two dog people. There dogs were their "kids".
I have a dog too. I love my dog. His name is Ozzy and he is aCairn Terrier, but I don't cook him breakfast and I sure don't lethim dictate how I comb his hair, but I do love him very much.
So what makes some people so head over hills crazy about their dog and what makes some seem to be a little more normal? I'm not real sure and that is why I wrote this page. I was hoping you would tell me.
If you have an idea, just email me by clicking here and tell me your thoughts. When I get enough responses, I will compile them and send them to you.
I hope you have a great day and I hope you enjoy your dog nomatter which way you treat it.
