Who really rules the house?

For those of us with big dogs and no kids, aka BDANKS, our over sized canine kids rule the roost. We spoil our pets--but they don't talk back or turn into sulky teens, although they do have occasional tantrums (eating books in my case).

What other people spend on toys, clothes, and entertainment for their kids, we spend on kibble, accessories , and VERY cheap fun. A simple ride in the car makes Callie's day. Or a walk in the woods, sniffing all those good smells, or a good belly rub. As for clothing, Callie inherited Ruby's winter booties and jacket--her winter camping supplies.

Yes we spoil them, but they repay us with welcome home wiggles, and constant companionship.
