How'd you know her daughter's name?
(Just kidding)

One thing you get plenty of when you are a parent is unsolicited advice. Ugh. Worse are the people with no kids who act like having a pet is equivalent. I'll admit, I may have been a little like that before I became a dad, but it makes me nuts when people compare how hard it is to deal with a dog comparing it to dealing with a child.

I'm sure I was like that before I became a father too, thats why I just grin and bare it when people do it to me.

I have way too many friends and family who talk about their furry/four-legged friends. Sadly, a couple of them are parents to real kids as well, yet dote over their animals more than their children. I like when the childless ones have something go wrong with their dog (I think the worst has been a broken leg) and when they tell me how awful it is to deal with it, they say, "You don't know what it's like!" One of them (I think she was dealing with a particularly nasty case of kennel cough) told me this in a very condescending tone after, over a six month period, we'd had a miscarriage and then had to put our Jack Russell down after getting royally screwed by an ethically-challenged vet. She thought my reaction (I told her to get back to me after she'd held her dead baby or had to hold her dog as it died in her arms) was mean and uncalled for. She's one of those folks I'm quite pleased to not talk to anymore.

I prefer a scalding hot bath and plenty of Lava with pumice.
