I don’t spoil my dog but I do consider expenses associated with him to be mental health costs.
Pets are a subscription service
I’ve seen this a bazillion times but I will upvote it every single time regardless.
Just paid my feathered employees in millet for their hard day’s work of chirping and being adorable!
What else are pets for?
Exactly! It’s not like you need them to learn good habits to become self-sufficient workers when they grow up.
As much as we beg and plead him, our dog is never going out to get a job. Might as well spoil him with treats and belly rubs!
Our dog is an expert at doing dog things:
- Wagging
- Barking at neighbors
- Chewing bones
- Barking at package delivery
- “Sit pretty”
- Barking at squirrels
- Ball
- Barking at nothing

I would absolutely take the side of the pet owner in this case. Although not a pet owner myself, I have seen the love and happiness that pets give. It’s beautiful, and not for outsiders to judge.
I totally agree with my dog when he wants more of the good stuff on his food because so do I on mine.
That is my child. I birthed him. He has my DNA.
