That's fine. It's just disappointing to be smacked in the face by the unenlightened hedonism the vast majority of people stumble through their lives in. I enjoy the company of my dog. But he does not share my last name, and is not one of my children. The emotional transference onto our animals is one of the more strikingly depressing aspects of 21st century American culture. I'm not going to argue that that is a completely asshole thing to say. But I wont sit here and be told that because people wanted the emotional hole in their life filled and found an animal to do it, that it's a natural to then want their animal to kept in peak physical form. Sometimes people want stupid shit. When that happens to me, I hope some one with a glib, sarcastic tone tells me to stop it, and focus on helping those addicted to opioids and stuck in purgatory in jail because the courts are too busy to try their case and bring resolution.
