My dog was given 6 months to live due to a heart condition when he turned 8. So i went to study in specialized programs for prescription diets so that i can make food for him to extend his life. It worked. That was 6 years ago and he’s turning 15 next month.

You might have noticed that today, an increasing number of people are declaring that they are not planning to have kids. Even if that isn’t the case in your inner circle, you still likely heard people talking about it in a general sense (or you’re living under a rock). 

You see, the thing with people’s refusal to become parents is way more complex than you might think. Some of these folks would like to become them, but given the current world situation, they don’t think it’s right to bring a kid into such conditions.

When a state university had a deer problem (the male deer was charging CARS in the parking lot) I let my beagle gleefully bark his head off and chase the deer. 3 to four times per day, everyday. The deer moved out. The groundskeeper, grateful for an organic solution gave my beagle a GIANT stuffed Bambi as a gift, a trophy, in gratitude for his beagling work!

Or they can’t simply afford to raise a kid properly and think it’s more fair to not do it than to do it badly. Essentially, a chunk of willingly child-free folks are this way, as they don’t feel like they have a choice. 

Of course, there are other people who simply do not want kids, and that’s it. They might think they wouldn’t make a good parent, or they might want to focus on themselves or something else – online threads like this one reveal a plethora of reasons behind such a choice.

When we found out our 13 year old dog had terminal cancer, I crocheted two full blankets in matching colors so that we could keep one and the other would be cremated with her so she wasn’t cold.

I write bedtime stories for my dog and read them to him. Norbert loves story time 😊🐾💕

And while some child-free people remain like that, others find something to replace the theoretical children with – pets. In fact, nowadays, such a choice is becoming more and more common. 

You might say: but the pet isn’t a child, they cannot be considered the same! And you would be right – they’re not the same. Yet, that doesn’t stop people from referring to their animals as their “babies” and to themselves as “parents.”

I got a hotel for the weekend because my pup is afraid of fireworks (they are legal in the city I live)
Allowed him to sleep with me after he was sprayed by a skunk. I bathed him but the smell was still very strong. I FaceTime him when I travel. What WON’T I do for my dog. He’s the beat of my heart.

To be more specific, a survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Pet Honesty revealed that around 1 in 4 owners admit to calling their pet their child. Additionally, nearly half of the respondents call the pet their baby as a nickname.

So, in most cases, animals being dubbed as babies or kids simply come down to nicknames. At the same time, there are some folks who believe that their furry friend is actually smarter than the average human. And even if they don’t feel like that, they still treat the pet the same way they treat people – it’s a living being, after all.

I took a work from home job because I was tired of hearing about office complaints when my dog was a full time office dog and went to playcare everyday at lunch. Meaning he was only in the office during the mornings and people still had complaints. So yeah… I’m a full time work from home dog mom now 😂

When I was in 7th grade, I forgot to do my homework. That morning, just before I had to leave for school, I looked at my dog, who was a little over a year old, and asked her to eat my homework while offering it to her. I took a picture of her eating my homework and then grabbed the remaining pieces to show my teacher. As a result, I was given an extra day to complete it.
