Dog owners are often misunderstood and even sometimes become a source of annoyance for others. So, what are these “strange things” that dog parents do that might annoy others?
⠀
🍀 “They love dogs more than they love people!”
There are indeed dog owners who might be a living proof of this, but they’re still a just small minority.
⠀
However, so many of us consider dogs our family members.
⠀
And we always treat our loved ones (both people and animals) much warmer than simple acquaintances or strangers, don’t we?
⠀
So, it’s not out of the ordinary if a dog is much more valuable to a someone than strangers on the street. And whoever says “But it’s just a dog!” automatically becomes to them 🐶
⠀
🍀 “They choose awful topics for discussion!”
⠀
People certainly might find it a bit unpleasant when dog owners start talking about pros and cons of anthelmintic drugs 😊
⠀
🍀 “They only talk about their pets!”
⠀
Remember those T-shirts saying something like: “Run! This person cannot stop talking about their dog!” that were once popular?
⠀
🍀 “They talk to their pets!”
⠀
But is there something wrong with that? Talking to your pets is absolutely normal.
⠀
“I wish someone talked to ME like that!” is a common protest of people with no pets.
⠀
🍀 “They’re constantly saying “no” to all invitations!”
⠀
Sometimes our friends who don’t have any pets are offended by the fact that those with dogs at home can’t make it to a party or a trip, justifying it with the fact that they need to walk and feed their furry friends, and there’s no one to dog-sit them.
⠀
Some people even stop inviting their dog-owning friends over at all.
⠀
🍀 “They waste all this money for no reason”
⠀
Yes, pets are expensive. Period. But it’s impolite to look in other people’s pockets. And when it comes to “wasting” – we all consider different things necessary for happiness. And even if some consider having pets “unreasonable”, they bring so much happiness into our lives, that money doesn’t matter anymore.
⠀
It doesn’t matter how people treat proud dog parents around them. In the end, the only thing that counts is how happy dogs make us.
