Default Non dog owners don't understand

I have a tiny 5 lb Pom with a slipped disc in her neck. She is taking
Prednisone(steroid anti-inflammatory) and Robaxin (muscle relaxer) She is also
going to have accupuncture.

When I told my Mom and some friends that don't have four footed furry friends
they say I'm insane!

They have no clue how to understand that she is important to me and my life
second only to my 2 footed teen. Usually she is easier to manage and please
then he is

Thank goodness people here get it. Well the rest of the family that we live
with understands too.

Well, there's hope for such people. Case
in point: My wife is Chinese. She last visited
home when she was pregnant. During that
visit, she revealed to her parents that we
have a large dog. They immediately urged
her to get rid of it before the baby arrived.
Seems that though young Chinese now keep
small dogs, older people consider large dogs
in the house tantamount to keeping sheep in
the house.

Fast forward five years. Her parents came to
visit us for a couple of months. They instantly
fell in love with the dog, and took him everywhere
they went. By the time they returned, the dog
understood more Chinese than I did.

You are so right. We've fielded questions about our sanity so many times in
the past year and a half. Our dog has had 2 separate cruciate ligament
surgeries to the tune of somewhere around $4500 in total costs. We never
considered not doing it. Many think we've totally lost our minds.

Same here, two cruciate surgeries...my snotty neighbor was making comments
like, "Ooooh, her dog's had her knees done!" What the hell was I supposed to
do, let her drag it the rest of her life?
