What's up with that ?
I was talking with someone about gardening,
and I heard the proud " plant parent" thing
.mentioned.
Have so many people just lost any concept
of reality ?
The absolute only way to be a parent is to
a human child.
Well, they screwed up the pet animal situation in a great way..so now i guess it is "on to the plants'...
I presume that most here have noticed how veterinarian costs have sky rocketed over the last 10 years or so. Not just the cost of individual treatments or drugs,
but the treatment in it's overall scope!
...Back when I was raising, hunting and competing with dogs, if I wanted a shot for my dog, I would go to the vet and get just that shot !
Now it seems that if you need anything for your pet dog, cat or squirrel, you must go through an extended procedure, costing an astronomical rate.
Have you been to the pet supply aisle in your local store? A rawhide chew or a small bag of chews that cost a buck or two a couple years ago...now hoes for 5 or 10 bucks.
I blame most of that on pet "mommies" or "daddies".. Perhaps it is just part of the purple haired mommies or the skirt wearing daddies, phenomenon...
