Just for fun: comparing furry kids, to those not so furry?

Question

okay firs off lets just see how much owning and being a responsible dog owner is like haveing a kid.

dogs: what you need to become a good pet owner:

1. always make sure you save a little money in case of emergency issues

2. ensure when you are not looking to breed to have your dog spayed/nuetered

3. make sure all dogs are utd on all shots

4. keep them healthy with exercise/good diet

5. make sure to provide plenty of water in the summer months

6. never get buy/adopt a dog that is not compatible with you/other dogs

7. make sure to give your new pet a loving home

8. provide proper training, by using rewards, and never harsh punishment always stay calm.

9. take plenty of pics during those puppy chewing stages to laugh about later

10. this one is most important: ALWAYS keep a pic ready to show off when someone asks if you have a dog. :)

now to those not so furry kids: what it takes to become a parent:

1. you need to have either health insurance/ money for emergency cases.

2. a parent should always keep up with shot records

3. show them what a good diet and exercise is

4 make sure to keep your kids hydrated when playing out in that hot sun remember sun screen

5. bring them up in a loving home as stress free as possible

6. education: make sure the get a proper education for a good future

7. patience is key to setting rules

8. take lots of pics, of those babies to laugh about later

9. keep pics on hand to show off you kids when you are asked about them.

10. if you can follow all steps from becoming a good dog owner, when your kids are old enough to handle a dog, then you might just be ready to handle becoming a pet/kid owners:)

now that was just for fun. do you see the resemblence?

so many " my dogs are sick question" with excuses as Just because i don't have enough money doesn't mean i am not a good pet owner, which in some cases it's true but those same people all to often will turn around and condone a mother for not raising her kids with proper manners, not giving them health care, etc.

can you add anymore? what do you think? remember this is for fun so no thumbs downing and keep your opinions open, but remain kind, for instance dont single anyone out.

Answer 4

Owning a dog is just like having a kid - you listed all of the similarities i can think of! From babysitting by cousin i agree with the "kids are harder to train" statement lol!

Oh, you forgot one similarity:

Dog: When you spoil them, they tend to get snippy and nasty (seen it before.... don't deny it!)

Child: When you spoil them they kick and scream. (Seen that before too... used to work in a toy store!)

All in good fun of course!  ^_^
