We do the same. For us, it is more of a cute or funny way to tease one another rather than communicate with the dog. |

My boy is only 5 months old, but my wife and I have commented several times that he's been easier than our dog was for the first 5 months. Now, obviously that will change, but do not underestimate the chaos of a puppy. We couldn't even sit down and watch a rented movie in one evening until the puppy was almost a year old.

Same here. There is usually about 30 cats around my farm in the late spring/early summer time and by the time the next spring rolls around we are down to 5 or 6 mainstays that seem to make it through every winter. I usually pick out one kitten to make my office cat and name it, but they usually die within a year. My last one I actually had to shoot because I found him laying there all fucked up. I actually have a harder time shooting some of my favorite cows when they are sick beyond repair than any of my cats. The cows at least make me some money (minus the current economic climate where it's a matter of a cow losing me less money). |

Lathum pretty much has it right in this thread.
If you are getting really worked up about it, it might be time to drop to your knees and thank god you have the luxury of opining about such meaningless bullshit.

That said, the wife of one of my childless co-workers showed up at one of our conferences at the Four Seasons pushing her dog around in a baby stroller. I thought that might have been a little borderline.

Oh my God yes! A few years ago I was visiting my mom shortly after she got a cat. The cat was a little shy with someone she'd never seen before showing up, and my mom kept saying, "come on out and meet your brother!" I'm in my 30's, haven't lived with my mom for over ten years. I am not this cat's brother.
At our place, we call our cats by their names -- they pretty well know their names, although they sometimes respond to each other's names -- they're probably responding more to the tone of our voices really. Anyway, our cats are mother and daughter, so thinking of them as our children brings up all kinds of family tree issues. |

bumpity So this has gone too far. I posted some pictures of me with one of my cats on facebook, and my mom said something about how her cats say hi to their cat cousins -- or are they cat aunts. Now my cats are related to her cats? A few days later, she was back on facebook, talking about taking one of her cats to the vet -- her ex-husband, my ex-stepfather. She said something like, "good thing the cats' vet is also their dad" -- so now her ex-husband -- who she divorced at least five years before she got these cats -- is their dad? Sheesh! I think that even some of you who are down with calling yourselves parents to your pets have to agree that this is going too far. |

My wife calls her dogs her children and does the whole mommy/daddy thing - I don't get it, but there are more important things in life to worry about imho ...

This makes sense to me. I don't know the particulars of MGB's case, but something like this I can understand -- but there are definitely cases where it's worse. |

My wife had a stroller for her dogs for a short while, I viewed it as being an acceptable thing on the basis that her dogs help keep her from being broody and I really couldn't hack doing the whole baby thing again (if I have to I'm sure I'll survive and love the little one - but heck we've 3 now and already outnumbered by the little bleeders ). |
