Human babies scare the crap out of me. I'm way better at caring for animal babies. I always told my neighbors I'd take their shorties when they were house broken. Did you ever change a diaper on a three year old? It's disgusting

Lol, but somebody changed yours when you were a kid.

Again, I'd love to know where these mute dogs live, because it's certainly not my neighborhood.

Babies smell awful in so many ways, and are an endless source of wet. I have never once wanted to touch a baby. I am not, and have never wanted to be, a parent.

Dogs, on the other hand, I stop and talk to all the time. I like fully grown dogs just as much as puppies, for what it's worth. I don't discriminate. I like cats, too.

Also, dogs don't annoy me in restaurants. I wish it were just as illegal to bring children into restaurants as it is dogs.

Pets VS kids.

I never had to write an excuse for my dogs.
My dogs never need a ride to the mall.
My dogs don't need new clothing, but I do buy them cute outfits.
My dogs don't need a college fund.
My dogs don't need an allowance or a bank account.
My dogs don't throw temper tantrums or have melt downs.
My dogs love me unconditionally.
My dogs eat once a day.
When it is time for bed, my dogs willing go in their crates. (OK there is a snack involved.)
My dogs don't pester me.
My dogs don't blow snot bubbles.
I never have to tell my dogs to get off the phone, or the Internet.

Dogs rule and kids also drool.

I don't care for the things involved in raising kids, like buying school clothes, sitting through t-ball practice, parent teacher meetings, yadda, yadda...... I just don't have the patience for all of that. With dogs it's easier, take them to the vet a couple times a year, buy them food and treats and they're happy.

I took my sister's kids on vacation one year and vowed I'd never do it again.

My dogs are 100% smart, do exactly what I tell them to do, never back talk. They are clean, they stay put, they arent sneaky (except for one that will take an egg out of the egg bucket every day for a snack, but only one, so thats okay).

The are content and happy to sit with me.

They will never turn on me and hurt me, and they are thrilled when I come home from work every day.

Kids dont.

Did any of us ask to be born? Actually picking up dog poopie is equally as disgusting. I actually love kids and tend to think of dogs and shorties as interchangeable. Dogs are just kids trapped in dog clothes, and babies are a lot like puppies. Eat, sleep, play and poop. Both are pretty cuddly too but dogs have a slight edge for me.

I see so many miserable people with kids. I don't see too many miserable pet owners, especially dog owners. The childed folk seem to resent the childfree by choice folk. You see it at restaurants, in parks, in movie theaters, etc. In the workplace this resentment is the most obvious. I say this: LIVE AND LET LIVE. You wan to be a parent, great.That's on you. LEAVE OTHERS WHO DON'T THE F* ALONE. We don't owe you anything.

I think the question has more to do with cuteness factor? Puppies are supposed to possed baby-like features such as big foreheads, round eyes and some of their sounds may even remind us of human sounds. We are drawn to these characteristics because its in our nature to nurture our own babies. But some people may adore puppies while disliking human babies.
