do you treat your dog like your baby?

Before I had kids I treated my dogs like they were my babies. Now that I have kids and we have a dog it's a dog and I love it but don't baby it. How many people treat their dogs as babies as so is it because you don't have one or yours are grown up? Has anyone else experienced this sort of change in your life? I am curious to see if it is just me.

This depends on your personal feelings and nature. If you are very much fond of dogs then you will take care of your dog like your kid but I have seen people who don't even bother about the dog's eating schedule and go out for long. I hate such people.

true, I would rather someone baby an animal instead of neglecting it. We got our dog from the shelter just because we wanted to give a dog a home that needed it. It was nice that she was already housebroken and did have some bad habits we are working on but overall has been a great addition to the house.

Chiquita Banana my chihuahua - My long haired chihuahua Chiquita
I have two dogs and I love them very much but I do not baby them, they are not allowed on my bed and I don't give them scraps. I give them alot of love and care they give me love back but I don't treat them like kids or let them kiss me on the mouth like alot of people do.
