Something happens when you are in your 30s and single (other than begrudgingly joining online dating sites to appease your mother). *People start to say really stupid $#@! to you about your personal life. **While much of it is not dog-related (think, “What is someone like you still doing being single? or “You better hurry up!”), there are at least two frequent dog-related comments that I’ve had said to me that fuel my hate-fire.* To save you from looking like an $#@!marmot in the future, please don*t ever utter one of the following:
Say it. I dare you.
1. “Do you think you’re single because you are so obsessed with your dog?”
If I had a dime for every time I’ve heard something along these lines I could hire someone to throat punch all the idiots who say this $#@!. *Seriously, who says this and thinks it’s a good or helpful thing? *I’d rather be single and happy with my dog than stuck with someone who thinks that my love for my dog is abnormal. * If a would-be suitor thinks that posting multiple photos of my dog sleeping on my Facebook wall or having his photo as my iPhone background is a turn-off, then so be it. **Any guy I date will either have to hop on the crazy train with me or at least understand and appreciate my devotion to my dog.** Bonus points if he*s willing to join me in the silly songs I sometimes sing to Mr. T.
2. “You must not have kids”
Let’s be clear here. *Just because I don’t currently have a child does not make me less of a woman or less of a human. *Whether or not I choose to have children in the future is frankly none of your business and in no way related to my love for dogs. *Many of my friends have human kids AND dogs and both are much loved members of the family. *Do yourself a favor and don’t $#@!ume that dog-loving women who have not yet popped a baby out of their loins simply love our dogs so much because we don’t have a human baby to dote on. * I am not trying to fill some childless hole in my heart by showering my dog with love and affection.* Frankly, if anything, should I choose to have a child down the line, I’ll be a damn good mother* based on what I learned from my dog.
And that*s perfectly ok
Any other inane comments you*ve gotten that you like to share?* Want to call me a crazy dog lady?* Go right ahead!
