I don't treat my dogs like kids but I know what you mean. And I don't mind the neediness of dogs either. I love my poochies and their snuggles and smoochies. Oh no, where's moonbow. I'll get accused of shagging my dogs now.
My problem is with certain cat people; the nasty ass ones who always say, "cats clean themselves" or "you can't train a cat." Yuck, licking isn't cleaning it's just spreading drool. I've been washing my best friend since he was a baby and he knows some basic dog obedience better than a lot of dogs. I'm hella proud of my Siamese dream cause he's not lazy, dirty or stupid!
I went to visit the dogs and cats at my local NSPCA and the saddest thing is dirtiest, stinkiest most dandruffy cats were the ones who were most desperate for affection and lap time. Stupid people don't train them to tolerate proper care that makes it hard on the cats. I felt sorry for them but I can only get so close when they're all dirty, greasy and full of dander. :(
Growing up, all the cats I knew were so nasty and I think that has something to do with how I view them now. But I have met a few that I loved because of their dog-like mentality. And 90% of cat owners that I know are filthy people who don't clean the litter box very often or just leave cat shit wherever it lies and its so gross. I'll always be a dog person but there are some awesome cats out there.
I do get a little sad face when I see the poor things waiting for adoption in the little windows :( putting their paw up to the glass like please take me home :( poor babies.
Right on! I guess I just get frustrated because it's not that hard to teach kittens to tolerate bath time. I literally start the training within the second or third day after they come home with me. Give em a bath every week whether they need it or not and by the time they're six months old it's no big deal and you can drop to once a month.
I was raised as more of a dog person in a primarily doggie home so I guess old habits die hard. Thank God! I've even bathed rats before. It doesn't have to be a big deal. I think a lot of animals might not like baths but when they're clean and receiving more love and affection they're happier. :)
Do you like cats?

Meow? I much prefer dogs. Cats are kinda like other peoples kids. They're cute for a little while but then I just want it the hell away from me.

I find friends with dogs treat them like children, and they are annoying as hell. Even more annoying than children.
At least cats leave you alone some/much of the time. Dogs are too needy. And stupid compared to cats.

Plenty of dog owners allow their dogs to poop and pee on the floor in the house too. Yuck!
