Everyone Will Be Happier if You Just Buy a Baby.

No, this entry is not about the underground market of buying and selling infants, which by the way, is totally appalling, it is about the disturbing DISTURBING way people substitute animals for children. It really peeves me. Your dog or cat is NOT A BABY, so stop treating it like one.

Exhibit A.

I am not even going to dignify this with a snarky comment.

Something is extremely wrong in this world when the only wheelchair-friendly subway seat is occupied by a dog stroller. Yes, that is right: a dog stroller. The damned dog can walk, can't he? In fact, I believe that, unlike humans, dogs actually like to exercise. Which brings me to the most ridiculous pet-related thing I ever saw: the puppoose. The puppoose transforms your pet into a furry, drooling, designer handbag that companies like to market under the guise of "dog carrier". On top of it being a totally useless and deprecatory invention, you can't even fit your cell phone into the side pockets (A.K.A. your dog's ears).

Please shield your eyes if you cannot handle disquieting images:

With the puppoose, your dog can serve as trendy accessory, baby, and invalid grandparent who made you feel guilty because you forgot to take care of them--all in one! Side note: I hope her dog has an accident all over her (preferably brand new) Reebok sneakers.

Why would anyone subject poor little animals to this sadistic torture? Dress them up, and parade them about in a high chair while they stare covetously at the freely frolicking strays? How would the owners like it if someone dressed them as Harry Potter and fed them Puppy Chow milkshakes out of a baby bottle? They would not like it one bit, no sir.

Message to all those who treat their pet like a child: Make love, not warped pet babies. Then you may actually get a real baby, and you can let your pet be, like, an animal.

Message to stupid posh pet stores: Stop feeding into this psychosis, it is only making these owners sicker!

That woman looks less like she's carrying a dog in a sling, and more like she has a maltese grafted to her ass.

There was a time when my Yorkie was hit on the sidewalk by an out-of-control teenager on a bicycle and, until her spinal injuries healed, I needed to push her around in a doggie stroller. Now, while I never used a handicapped spot for her, I have no regrets about giving her the care she needed until she healed and could walk properly again.

On the other hand, if I ever got a dog just to haul it around in a handbag or backpack, someone please shoot me.

Cheers

^I'm sorry your Yorkie had spinal injuries! *shakes fist at unruly teenagers*

I think if a doggie stroller is used in the way that you described then that is perfectly acceptable. A dog in a bag (or as a bag), however, is grounds for an intervention.

That is too funny - and disturbing. I mean fair enough if you don't want the responsiblity of a baby, but do want something cute. A puppy, however is actually NOT a baby human, and generally wouldn't enjoy being treated like one.

Maddie, if we can track down the owner of the pooch in photograph #1, I think we should tell that to her! I mean, how freaking creep-tastic *is* that photo?!
