I love it when people say that we spoil our dogs; it means that they are loved and are for in our home. I’m surrounded by dog lovers so these things are shared with me with love. I’m sure that there are people who disagree with the choices we’ve made for our dogs, but I don’t hear from them.

Good post! I’ve had people say Kirby is spoiled but always in a nice way. People just fall in love with him and then want to spoil him too. Some are amazed at how well behaved he is – its called training! He needs good food, safety measures, and exercise so he’ll be around a long time. About those clothes… he wants them in the winter cos he gets cold. The rest of the time he allows it for pictures so truth is he “spoils” me right back.

I like what you said about how spoiling our dogs is really just spoiling ourselves, so long as we are not making our dogs uncomfortable. When people tell me I spoil my dogs, I just shrug my shoulders and say, “It makes us happy,” or “They’re good dogs and deserve the best.”

In reply to Pamela. Well Medi DOES have a winter coat and booties. LOL! But secretly I just dress up the cats.

The crazy thing is some of those same people think nothing of someone who doesn’t move from their couch because they want to spend it with the Game of Thrones families or the Orange is the New Black cast.

Personally, going home to spend time with my dog feels slightly less dysfunctional. 🙂

I’d love to read that book. Or maybe I wouldn’t.

Either way, any number of dogs would be lucky to be “spoiled” by you.

Amazingly, I’ve found the best cue for asking Honey to move out of the way is to say “excuse me.” And of course we always say please or thank you around the house.

I guess those people wouldn’t understand the deep love you and Lilly had for each other either.

In reply to Donna O.. Yeah, you're not fooling us, Donna. I bet you'd just love to dress up Toby, Leah, and Meadow but you don't have room in your house for another dresser just for dog clothes. :)
