 "My friends and family think I'm mad when it comes to my dogs."But I don't see them as dogs, I see them as humans stuck in dogs' bodies.To me they are my children and the most special thing in my life.People might say that spoiling my dogs this much is excessive, but I think it's fine.Seeing their faces light up when I give them a new toy or treat is worth every moment.
"People spend thousands on their children at Christmas, so why not a pet?
"Harvey and Lola are like my children so I don't see the difference."
