They are my much loved pets but they are also my furbabies, I dont want human kids, ever, I have zero interest in them. They are my "babies" they are the closest thing to kids that I will ever have. Yes, I am a responsible pet owner, my dog is very well trained, he is a great dog that is not rude and jumps up on people, he has manners that I taught him, he can funtion in public without causing a disturbance. I work very hard with him and he is very well socialized. But I am not just their owner, I care and love them as if they were my own. I'm not one of those looney tunes that dresses their animals up or has them eat at the table. But I do call them "my children" and I see nothing wrong with that as long as you are aware that they are animals and that they need to be trained.
