Do you include your pets as a family member? Why or why not?
-
Unfortunately our dog is.....he pees everywhere all the time! He is never caught and is marking.....I wish he wasn't so much a part of the family! This is ridiculous!!
-
I love my pets. They in some ways are part of the family. I don't buy gifts for them and stuff like that. When they die. No ceremony. Other than that I take care of them, food, water and play. So I guess they are pets, animals.
-
Oh yes most assuredly even though all three of them can be a pain in the behind. We have two cats that scratch things we don't want them to scratch and have ruined some good furniture but my boys love them dearly so ............ also we have a shih tzu that has had accidents on my cream colored carpet. But we love them all too much to do anything but continue loving them. :cat: :dog:
-
We just lost our cat 3 months ago. He was definitely a part of our family.
-
My dog is my baby. She sleeps in the bed, gets presents for holiday and people ask about her when they ask about the rest of the family
-
My cat is my spoiled brat he sleeps where he wants but I couldn't get along without him
-
Lost my dog a couple months ago he was a part of the family for sure.Loved him like crazy still miss him.Thinking of getting another dog but maybe to soon or a cat or kitten better so cute.
-
All our pets are part of the family. We love them and give them presents at Christmas.
-
Oh gosh yes, both of them :dog: :cat:
(the icons match, black cat, and orange/brown dog, lol)
I think i treat them better than my spouse, but they are like little kids. ;D
-
my ten year old cat Tiger is definitely part of the family. he's our "furbaby" ... actually think sometimes he believes he owns the house lol :cat:
-
I consider my girl cat one of my babies. I buy for her, feed her and protect her from harm, which is what we do to our children as well, so why not. Some of my friends do that as well. I feel like this, if you're gonna have a pet, why would you just give them a bowl of food and water and keep them outside? That's not love. If you're gonna have a pet, make sure that they have stuff too.
-
Nope...I dont have any pets. I would love to get a dog but we have no time to take care of one (hardly home) and my hubby doesn't want one.
-
My dogs are my family for the most part. I couldn't do without them.
-
We do otherwise I dont think we would be spending $100 a month on insulin for his diabetes.
-
Of course, my fur people are my kids. :cat: :cat: :cat: :cat: Even my box turtle is part of the family. When my dogs :dog: :dog: :dog: were alive they were my kids too. They're great listeners and know how to make me laugh. The boys hunt down any bugs that get in. Two of them sleep under the covers with me and keep me warm in the winter. They've pulled me through depression. They're better than most humans I've dealt with. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
Absolutely. We have three cats and they're so sweet and loving.
-
Ever since I was little animals were always part of the family. No matter if they were wild or not.
-
I think pet are part of the family. If you have to take care of a pet by feeding it and picking up after it then they are your children
-
Absolutely!! I would not bring any animal into my home that would be anything than a family member, and I foster dogs quite frequently. When in my care, they are accepted as family, good habits and bad.
-
Most definitely. My daughter has 2 cats and to me they are my grandchildren. I have one cat and she is my baby.
-
Do you include your pets as a family member? Why or why not?

Our dog is! He is spoiled. He's my puppy brother. lol I never thought that I would be so attached to a dog, but they are so amazing.
-
Yes! I have a 5 yr. old cat, and have had him since he was a kitten, and I love him very much. Right now, he is like my baby, as I don't have any kids yet. I think about him when I'm at work or not at home, and worry about him getting into trouble at the house! I know pets don't live forever, but if something were to happen to him anytime soon, I'd be devastated. :cat:
-
Yes, our dog, Dolly, is a part of our family. We love her and she loves us. Even though she occasionally makes messes in the house. :confused1:
-
We only have one cat now,,,, had 3 of them. They were all a part of the family. The oldest one was 18 years old when he passed and the middle one was almost 10. The baby is almost 7 now and is so spoiled. LOL but hey thats what we do to our "kids" lol
-
My dog is like one of my chidren. Lots of love he gets.
-
Yes! We treat our pets as part of our family. Although they wanted to stay outside but we always included them in our family picture taking during special occasions like xmas.
-
Is my pet part of the family? I buy cat food, take photos of her and she thinks I'm HER human so that's probably a big YES. I think she's laughing because she knows she has me wrapped around her fuzzy little finger.
-
We have always included our pets as part of our family. Addy our little dog sleeps with us and goes with us whenever we do out door events. We also love our horses and barn cat who we include in our Christmas card pictures.
-
I don't have pets around the house. Raising a child was enough of taking care of someone else was enough for me. No really a pet lover.
-
I have always had a pet of some kind. I grew up on a farm. We had cats and dogs through out my childhood. I had a horse too :)
AS we had our own kids, we have had cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and horses.
-
yes I have 2 outside cats and 1 inside and I talk to him just like talking to a person, he is rotten.
-
Absolutely. We take our parrot on everything vacation. He "helps" me fold laundry, do my hair, make toast in the morning, etc. He really isn't much help, but he likes to participate.
-
Do you include your pets as a family member? Why or why not?
yes i have a cat as part of my mfamily
-
yes, I always feel like that
-
Absolutely YES .. my pets are my fuzzy children since I never had any real ones.
-
Yup, I love my little kitty. :heart: :cat:
-
Yes! Our "canine son" is 12 years old now. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He is very much a part of our family. My husband accuses me of treating Tommy better than I do him!!
-
Do you include your pets as a family member? Why or why not?
yes my cat is total part of family
-
When I was younger, we had cats that were part of the family. The last dog (CuJo, my Labrador Retriever) I had was part of my family. Now I have cats that are not part of my family, but seem to have adopted me. In having your cats and dogs as part of your family, you love them and they give you unconditional love. Right now, I want to get myself a puppy, but my hubby won't let it stay in the house. :cat: :cat: :cat: :dog: :dog: :dog: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :rose:
-
yes they are, I often go without medical care, if something happens to one of them, and they are in need of medical care
Ive moved across country several times and my pets always go with me
If I have to move, I do not give my pets away, I find a home that will allow them
-
Yes I do. They are a big part of the family. They know how to get your attention when they want it. They watch you eat something and if they don't get any they give a sound of disgust. It is kind of funny
-
yes they are like children to me,they sleep with me,they eat what eat,we have play time together,we even take them for car rides its just like having more kids around the house but they don't talk back like my children did.
-
YES I WOULD SAY BECAUSE WHEN THEY GET SICK WE GET UPSET AND WHEN THEY DIE YOUR HEART IS BROKEN AND YOU BEING TO MISS THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE NOT WITH YOU
-
yes my pets are part of my family,,,i love them! :heart:
-
My pet is indeed part of my family. My pet is very loving and participates in the majority of functions we do. There are times we are not able to bring him on our travels, which we always feel guilty on.
