Question by Duque de Alba: Has anyone witnessed the scary trend of pets (dogs) becoming surrogate children?
This phenomenon crosses all boundries- old spinsters, gay couples, young selfish women, lonely men. It’s unreal. People treat their pets like children: clothes, hats, spas, daycare, totes and carriers, hotels, (no joke), language, motivation, summer camps! The dog has become a replacement for a child especially among young selfish types who don’t want the sacrifices that a child demands. Yet, they talk about their pet, carry photos of their pet as if it were their spawn. Then you have all the celebrity bimbos with their freakish miniture dogs stuffed in thousand dollar handbags. This society has reached terrifying decadence. I’m not religious, I hate religion, but the culture of death is present in this trend. Is there a psychological explanation for this?
I should add that I don’t want these people to have kids, sorry if I was confusing. These types shouldn’t act as though the dog is a kid. I know we bred them down to toys, but in the end they are a capably independent animal.
A friend of mine carries a stack of photos of him and his dog’s abventure trips. The dog even has a rucksack and tent! Another friend (a couple) has to get a babysitter for the dog because it spazzes (and he gets guilt) when the dog is alone. I’ve just had it and started telling them that they’re kooks!
mluxia: go back to heavy petting with your Sparky. So sorry!

Question by : Are you allowed to bring your cat into stores?
If you have your cat in a one of those pet carrier bags can you bring them into stores? I know a lot of stores allow you to do so for dogs.
My kitty loves going places with me, and in a couple months we’re going to college together. I don’t know who my roommate will be yet, and don’t want to worry about leaving the two of them alone when I go shopping.
The college I am going to has a pet friendly dorm house.

Some airlines will allow small animals as your carry on, but most will not allow dogs in the cabin unless they are service animals. There are strict rules about this and the caging of dogs. The cage must be large enough for the dog to be comfortable, they must be able to lie down, stretch and sit/stand in the kennel.

It also depends where you are flying from and where you are going. Defra *UK* is the website to look at if any of your travel involves the UK.

There is a such thing as a pet passport, you need to have this arranged 6 months before any travel. Blood tests and a microchip need to be taken care of to join the PETS Scheme.
