[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 11 years im getting that pup out 3x a day walking in rain, shine, snow. Feeding 2x a day. Giving meds, sitting up all night comforting him through the pain of 3 surgeries. Hes never going to take care of himself. I use vacation time to take him to the vet when my coworkers run out of the office when their kids sneeze. And when the awful day comes and he leaves us, I will have to take another vacation day, then suck it up the rest of the week but Suzie gets bereavement for her grandmother that she hasn't seen or spoken to in 5 years. So if I want to call myself a dog mom I will. Funny thing is my empty nest friends who get dogs are fall right into it. They call them their 2nd..3rd etc child. Just wait.[/quote]

You....actually believe your dog dying could be compared to a human dying? Or a sick dog is on the same level as a sick child??? Completely insane. A dog is an animal. Trust me I have had pets and I have a child and it’s no comparison. [/quote]

And humans aren't animals?

The only reason the value of a human is seen as greater than a dog is because of cultural and social constructs. There is absolutely nothing inherent to the universe that establishes the superiority of humanity over any other species. The value we place on a human over a dog when it's time to mourn is no less arbitrary than the value we place on a dog over a cow when it's time to eat.   [/quote]

So your argument here is that the inherent value of a dogs life is the same as that of a human? Wow wow wow. [/quote]

No, that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying.

I'm saying there is no inherent value in a dog or a human, the only value is that which we personally assign to it.  For me personally, the value of my dog is the same or greater as that of any human except for my wife.  For you it is apparently different, and we are both right because value is meaningless outside of what we perceive it as. [/quote]
