Not in a sexual way.
I got into a discussion at work over being a pet lover or not.
I love dogs and cats, I've had one or the other (or both) most of my life. I've never bought a dog, I usually pick them up from the pound, or free puppies box on the side of the road. I don't like pure breds, they typically have too many medical issues due to in-breeding/over-breeding.
But I don't ever treat them like humans. They are not fur babies. If a pet has more than a couple hundred dollars worth of medical bills, time to take them to the pound, or put down if warranted. Not going to shed a tear - there are plenty of replacements out in the world to choose from. It's just an animal, not a part of the family. I don't give them human names. Well, I did once to a snake, I called him Floyd, from an old hudson and landry comedy skit.
Didn't matter, he never came when I called him.
So, anyway, co-workers said I wasn't a dog lover. I don't agree. I just don't see the point of spending thousands of dollars on a pet.
