Yes it was awkward, but I encourage you to change your attitude toward her.
She needs a friend.She's trying to relate to you all and form a connection.

I used to be you many years ago when my kids were small  I had a coworker who would constantly talk about his dog and relate his dog stories to our kid stories. It annoyed me and the other parents that he dared to make such a comparison. Sadly, we weren't very nice to him because of it.  What we didn't know was that he was in a very abusive relationship  with no family our outside support, so basically all he had was a dog, work and his boyfriend. Out of those 3. two of them treated him badly. He found love, kindness, and acceptance in a dog. I and the the other humans were so caught up in our parenthood we failed to take notice of a person who needed us.
Not a single one of us were hurt by his dog stories. His dog stories had zero impact on our kids , but are attitude impacted him.
There's not a lot I regret in life, but I truly regret how stuck up I was back then.
[b]You will never regret being kind OP, not really. You will regret being  snotty to someone[/b]. 
So laugh at her funny dog stories. Ask her about her pup sometimes, and Invite her out to lunch or to take a coffee break with you.

Have a baby doesn't make you better than anyone else.

Some people can't/choose not to have children and their pets fill a need in their lives.  I have a dog and a human daughter and I tell plenty of stories about both of them, probably much to the dismay of those that have to listen.  They both are very important to me.  Yes, of course I love my daughter more than I've ever loved anything in life but my furr-baby is also so special to me and she will take a piece of my heart with her when she goes.  [/quote]
