Am I weird for loving my dogs so much?

let me start out by saying im a huge animal lover ever since I was very young. I have always had pets but never dogs. I got my first dog in 2005 a female chihuahua named pearl. I got so attached to her she made my love for animal much more. well anyways I have 3 dogs now and I always spent my time with them I always talk about them when I get my paycheck I always spent more than a hundred bucks on clothes, food, toys, and much more on them. everybody I now say im like crazy or somethimg. is there something wrong with me?? is it healthy for me to be in love with my furbabbies this way??

Answer #1

If you’re a freak, then so am I…LOL…I’m an animal lover for over 50 years…like’em better than people, most times…Just don’t let your love blind you from your personal ability to take care of them all…if you know your limit…well, then…the more the merrier.

hey no worries I am the same way with my dogs I have a chihuahua and a pit and I consider them as me children I talk to them and buy them things all the time

Answer #3

As long as you look after your animals requirements(exercise, training, medical needs, etc) then its fine. Just think of it as your passion or hobby. I am the same with my dog.

Answer #4

Hey, I’m right there with you man, I love my pets A LOT and they’re one of the most important things in my life. If you have the money, then ya, buy them stuff, just make sure you have enough money to pay your bills.

Answer #5

hey there sounds like your obsessed and obviously you’ve found a passion for animal loving! I don’t think its a bad thing but you should maybe find other interests to take your mind off them!! But I wouldn’t say your weird everyone has an obsession!

Answer #6

well I mean it’s ok to love animals and no thats not wierd. but dont waste all that money on them; waste some yeah fine but not a lot they dont know anyway what you spend on them or anything ;D

Answer #7

Dont listen to what anyone else says…the more you love them the more they will love you. they will always be there after a bad night and after someone screws you over. dont ever take em for granted they are the best friends you could ever have and deserve all the love you give them. and no im not a dog lover, im not an animal lover, im a hunter, I’ve shot bambi, I dont care about all the cute little animals. I just know that I’ve been in crappy situations and coming home and seeing my dogs and them laying down near me and giving me kisses always made me feel better. they earn their love, if not now then later

Answer #8

As long as they’re not before God and family, it’s certainly your money to spend as you please…Take care !!

Answer #9

DID YOU GET THSE DOGS FROM A BREEDER? CAUSE IF YOU DID OBVIOUSLY YOUR NOT A VERY EDUCATED ANIMAL LOVER.

Answer #10

NO YOU ARE NOT CRAZY!!! YOU JUST WANT THE BEST FOR YOUR BABIES. RIGHT?

Answer #11

Yeah I agree, I mean spend stuff on them once in a while but not all the time.

Answer #12

thanks for all of your replys is nice to here from other people that im not some freak.
