Dog mommy culture has got to go. For real.
I used to date a girl. She was nice and all, but she lived in like a 600sq ft apartment downtown and had two dogs. One was this hulking 80ish pound rottweiler thing and the other was a small terrier. She worked as a nurse, so she was out of the house for 14 hours. The rottweiler would get fed and get immediately put in his crate at 0600 until 2000ish. 14 hours plus in the crate, 3-4 times a week. The terrier was too stupid to get housebroken so it just got to run free but shit on potty pads, about half the time. Like, how you gonna be talking about "he's my baby, he's a good boy" buying it clothes and shit, feeding it the blue buffalo organic woozy doozy food from Costco, but, it gets to lay in a crate for 14 hours with nothing to do, no water, and a massive poop right at the gate? Physically, that's bad, but psychologically that'll wreck a damn dog. Dog life ain't for everybody and sadly it's often only the dog that realizes it |

We have no kids, we have 16 rescue dogs. Wife runs a high end boarding service. She's a dog mom and all of ours are spoiled as hell.

Sounds like she needs a cat. Crazy cat lady stigma has led to the rise of doggie daughters/sons.

Misdirected maternal instincts is a symptom of a dying culture.

No matter how much women want dogs to be children, that doesn’t make it so. My divorced sister in law just got a dog a few months ago and treats it like a human. Whatever makes her happy I guess, but it’s weird. I love pets just as much as anybody, but a pet isn’t a human.

I think this is a symptom of the cultural divide between urban and rural in America.

We had a family pet dog. Mom worked in town and would come home on her break probably 19/20 working days a month so the dog was usually only home 4 hours at a crack, and she was never crated. Molly lived to be 15 btw Or my uncle had hunting dogs he ran and worked regularly. That's what "having a dog" used to mean to me |

It is absolutely cancer. How many people do you see these days with cringe bumper stickers about "Who rescued who" etc about their dog. I like dogs, but it is damn rare to see an obedient/sane one these days. Fake service dogs are a whole other topic. When I'm at Home Depot and someone thinks it's cute to let their dog come drool on my pant leg, I make it a point to walk into it/boot it off and keep trucking. Get a f'ing life losers. Dog people usually have disgusting homes where the dog also sleeps on the bed. Many here are going to flame me for above, but I suppose I come from the old school where dogs were expected to be trained & sane. USA has to take the cake for the highest population of spinster harpies keeping Skippy peanut butter in business.

I have two dogs and share joint custody with my ex girlfriend. One dog is hers, the other is mine. They are both spoiled rotten. Mine takes special feeding and I have spent a lot of money on her because of health reasons. Well worth it to me.
I work and travel a lot so it is good she can come get them. She also will take them if I have errrr..company come over. |

The biggest mistake I see with women and dogs are the women who think they need a Labrador because they live in the south. Nowhere to exercise it, no time to train it, they just buy the dog and wing it.
Labradors are a working breed. If you don't exercise them to the point of exhaustion every single day, they go fucking NUTS and start eating your house. I've seen this so many times, and it's just mind blowing. Half the time these dogs end up in the pound or given away (gotten rid of) because they are completely out of control. If you don't have acres of land with a pond on it, DON'T BUY A LAB!!! |

My dog goes in his " hut " all by himself.
I don't ever tell him to He wants a nap, he goes in. Otherwise he has the run of the house. I am no dog dad... But I share my French Frys with him. |

I think we need a name, like Incel for men, for a woman who is an a-sexual dog/cat owner. Someone who stepped out of the normal human culture of matting, pair bonding, having and raising children etc, and has replaced it with dog/cat ownership. Almost always involves depression and numerous anxiety disorders. They feel/realize that they cannot handle the stress of typical human relationships so they compensate with animals.
It's a mental illness. |

True, but sadly most of those cases are because young girls are told to eat birth control pills like skittles, and then hit mid-20’s only to realize that a decade of hormone abuse has absolutely fucked their fertility.

So what do you think the GF is going to do with her children - feed them and put them in cages!!
No what's worse are the people who take their children and give them to strangers to raise 10-12 hours a day. They're shocked when they discover their children no longer have the culture values they were born into. I mean it's almost like the government schools are attempting to turn out Communist/Socialist/Marxist who hate everything their nation is and worship the god of social justice, rather than producing free thinking American citizens. Personally I think junior could have benefited more from a year of private school than the new quad but it goes well with the motorcycle and watercraft he got when he was 9. |

There's normal dog people and then there's over the top dog nuts and "rescue" fanatics who out themselves with vomit inducing phrases like, "fur baby" and "forever home". I've unfortunately been in the homes of a few of the latter, which are disgusting and smell as you might imagine from multiple dogs to the point it makes you want to go straight home, strip down, and immediately jump in the shower.

I'm not sure what your point is. A bad dog owner who says she's a good dog owner is proof of dog mommy culture? And, that's bad?
Ok. |

She isn't a dog mommy, she's a piece of shit
When my dogs were puppies I felt terrible locking them up for 4 hours at a time Now they spend their day lounging on a king sized pillow top bed |
