    1. Is a childless dog lady better off than a childless cat lady?
      Kritter, nothing but respect for you, but the best thing in my life are my kids – one of whom is on the spectrum but lacking your cognitive ability.

    2. When people refer to dogs as their “children” (or grandchildren) my first reaction is: “You f*cked a dog?”

  1. After the SPLC FAKE hate … now do all the FAKE nooses hung outside black people’s doors, Swastikas painted on building sides, and sexual harassment of lesbians, gays, transies and queers. Oh! And don’t forget all the ‘Trump 2016’ graffiti on the walls of burning churches.

    Political Gaslighting is $Billion Industry.

  2. Dogs vs Children: I know all about this. I have two daughters and a son, aged between 36 and 45, and no grandkids. My daughters and DiL all had their tubes cut, and bought a dog as a substitute. Couples like that are known as DINKWADs (Double Income, No Kids, With A Dog), google it, there is a lot online about this.

    Since they all had an inheritance from both grandparents, we have a precedent for skipping a generation, so with no prospect of grandkids to put in my will, my kids will get nothing and I will find suitable youth programs to bequeath to.

    I’ve never been especially fond of dogs, but this has now changed: I openly despise them now. My youngest is the latest addition to this trend, and her dog is best described as a junkyard dog – nasty creature, bit me twice on our first meeting, and bit my eldest daughter three times. I now refuse to go visit.

    My son’s dog is just big and stupid, and a pest. He insists on taking it everywhere, including when we are flying in my plane. The first time it was on board, I was on short final at a busy airport when suddenly I had a wet nose on the back of my neck.

    Kids bring families together. In our case, dogs drive them apart.
