Pet parent or pet owner: Caring for cats and dogs is not like raising children

“A survey found that 76 percent of dog owners preferred to be called “dog parents” or “pet parents.” (That survey was commissioned by the dog-sitter search site Rover.com, so I hope and trust that the numbers are inflated.) Much as I hate to put down my fellow animal lovers, these people have been indoctrinated.”

“Pet parent.” The dog and cat freaks will screech in self-defense but from my viewpoint those hard-core pet freaks are at various stages of mental illness. Sure, not every one of them but a large enough percentage I shall lump them all together. Animals are filling a void those soiled minds can not fill via humans. Keep your damn mutts away from me. At least cats don’t YAP YAP YAP endlessly.
