I know that mine is. I have raised my puppers with kids and cats and my puppers is like a combo of two. Just to give you an idea of how spoiled he is let me give you some information on him. My puppers for those of you who don't know is a Siberian Husky all white and beautiful.. He is the nephew of Shorty in Eight Below.. Now being a Husky you would think he would like the snow and cold more than the heat of the house, But no this spoiled puppers hate the snow and can't stand the cold and if it's raining I'm lucky he heads out the door to go potty without me holding his paw... LOL!! When he's inside he's happy and playful and loving and by my side, ok ok he's practically my shadow... But he also gets treats and play toys and everything a puppy could want. I'm going to add a picture of my puppers laying about on the coach after we came in from him going outside. So How spoiled is you pet?

Bella, my dogs hate cold and rain. They are couch dogs for sure. I love them very much. My older dog is 10, but she acts like a very small baby. She doesn't like what she doesn't like and she can cry to make her point. She knows how to mutate her voice, so I can understand her correctly. My younger dog in the other hand can play in pantomime, she knows how to show what she wants. My cat is acting like a dog most of the time,but she is very sweet and very spoiled. She likes discipline and she remembers my day schedule. They are pack next to me all the time. Cat is sitting on my chest right now and dogs are touching my legs. They are after dinner already and very happy. I can not wait for warmer day, dogs like to have long walk every day. HUGS

I never thought of spoling them, I like to give them right compliment and punishment at the right time. Spoiled doggy is no good, he does look sad when he does somethng wrong then I punish him but I'm teaching him the right things to do so he won't do it again like if he keeps grabbing the toilet paper and drag it to the living room, I cannot just let him doing it by just watching and laughing. But I do always look at snacks and toys for him :-p maybe this is spoiling but I think it is okay because I'm not protecting him when he does bad stuff.

spoiling the puppers doesn't mean that I let him get away with everything but I do shower him with love and toys and other things as well as the kids spoil him that way too! But he knows not to pee on the floor and he's not allowed on the table and he's not allowed to do certian things but he's still spoiled.

Of course I spoil my babies!!!!! About 17 years ago I addopted Bart and Lisa from the Animal Rescue League. They were just six weeks old and I took a weeks vacation to get them settled into their new home. I was single at the time and wanted someone to be there for me when I got home. Within a few years I found someone the kids approved of and we set up house together.......eventually things went downhill and I became single again. I suppose it did not help that my babies knew who was "not the mama" and always came running to my slightest call. I lost Lisa to heart problems last year. My Bartman is the most precious friend I have. He has seen me through so many ups and downs without a single complaint. How can we not spoil the little angels we have been blessed with? This is not just a sentimental female thing either....my father, who is in his mid 60's has the ashes and urns for every pet cat he has owned since I was born. He has three extremely loved and spoiled babies now. They follow him everywhere. In the bathroom, supervising the laundry, cooking and eating of course. Generally two of them help him watch tv and all three sleep in bed with him. We both have made special window seats with steps up to them in almost all the accessible lookout places. There are water bowls in all the bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. Heaven forbid they should have to walk too far for water! Of course there is special food for their sensitive tummies and every toy under the sun.........As many people say, we have been well trained!

Sleepy Kitties - Carlye and Ashley Sleeping on the couch together
My little girls are quite spoiled. I have two DSH cats. Both rescues. They sleep wherever they want including my bed. They have all the toys they could want and all the cat furniture I can afford. They each get a can of fancy feast in the morning and they share one at night. I think they eat better than I do!

You bet Morgana is spoiled. She goes where she wants, does what she wants, tells me when to go to bed, demands her tuna, gets mad when I go anywhere and pretty much runs the house...and I wouldn't have her any other way :) [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Dexter - Here is Dexter flying through the air like a circus performer. He loves to jump.
Hey Bella, As some may know, Dexter is a Shih Tzu. He is 5 mos. old and is as much a puppy as when he was 3 mos. He decides when I should get up in the morning to play. He loves to play and eat but the ultimate is his treats. Now if I could just potty train him. Last night hubby was mad at him for pooping in the house so Dexter left his favorite toy in one of his shoes as a peace offering. He also hates baths. But then prances around after I've brushed him and he's all fluffy. He is my joy and my little bubba. leenie

Have you tried crate training him? It's an option. Also since puppies are learning not to potty in the house when I got frost I took him out every two hours so he didn't mess in the house and when I had to go somewhere my bathroom has an easy clean floor so he was in there when I had to go places.

Hi Bella, Thanks for the advice. He has a crate that he sleeps in and so can't crate train. I've been taking him outside frequently and stay with him so I'll know when he does his business and then I can praise him. My problem is my bad back and legs (Spinal Stenosis) won't allow me to stand long. But I'm determined. Wish me luck. leenie

my dog and my kitty are very spoiled. the dog plays with the kitty. the cat stays in the house, sleeps only in bed, with us. he eats only good food. in the morning, he weaks us because he wants to drink a bit water. the dog barks in the middle of the night because she wants too. they both are very spoiled.
