In your relationship with your dog, how do you see your role? Leave a comment and explain your response!

by Guest Tue Oct 26 2010, 11:25

I suppose the nearest is best friend, although it's a mixture between that and guardian/owner.

I've never had a 'pet' dog, they've always been companions & friends.

by Guest Tue Oct 26 2010, 11:29

i would say a mix of best friend, owner and a little bit of mummy chucked in there as well....lol

by Guest Tue Oct 26 2010, 11:51

am his dad and he the son a neva had lol oh go on

by Guest Tue Oct 26 2010, 12:18

im the daddy and shes my daughter rolling on the floor

by Guest Tue Oct 26 2010, 14:36

Im the dad........Firm but fair....set guidelines for him but also show him my full support and how proud I am when he achives something good and I also love him like the son I never had

by Ruby&Me Tue Oct 26 2010, 15:35

Shes my best friend but i am her mummy. I set her guidelines, i feed and walk her, but i think i have a greater need for her than she does for me Sad

my husband plays rougher with her than i do. She probably sees me as her mummy though x

by **janey** Tue Oct 26 2010, 15:38

Definatly her mum and best friend, I get so much from her and wouldn't know what to do with myself if she wasn't here.

im defo his mummy hes my little baby lol also best friend kaiser loves going with us to places he literally goes with us every where where he is allowed

by JessAndLottie Tue Nov 02 2010, 11:13

I've said Guardian but its more like a mix of best friend/leader, I think.

by Guest Tue Nov 02 2010, 13:55

Definatly her mum,and she knows my hubby as her dad.When hes on the way home from work,i always ask her wheres dad? and she gets all excited,and sits by the front door,waiting till he comes home Love Struck

by Guest Tue Nov 02 2010, 18:58

Blue probably thinks there his balls.....think id run after them an all Laughing

by el_toro Sat Nov 06 2010, 07:16

My answer is owner, but I have to say I´m more like leader.
Yes we have great time with dogs and they are like my best friends, but I set the rules and boundarys. Example, they don´t run wild if I dot´t give permission Big Grin

I can´t be mom and I´m not ready to be dad Wink

by roz w Mon Nov 08 2010, 01:10

i call him my furry baby

by **scott** Sat Nov 27 2010, 10:08

my wife says mum dad...........

as were i think id say onwer....but probly love them like kids,id be lost with out them....

by Guest Sun Dec 12 2010, 20:49

My dogs are mine and my partners babies. I have kids anyway but not my partners and i didn't want anymore so Vinnie and Gizmo have made our family complete and brought us all together.
To say we adore them is an understatement...

by Guest Sun Dec 12 2010, 21:08

Well Holly isnt home as yet but it feels like i am waiting for the 40week mark in my 4th preg!.... LOL.
She will be the baby girl of the house and spoiled rotten i can see it all ready

by **Tys mummy** Thu Dec 16 2010, 13:29

I am mummy and Ty is my baby boy my mum also refers to herself as Nanny lol and Ty actually responds to them names if you say weres Mummy or weres Nanny he will go to me or my mum so cute.

by HazelJ Thu Dec 30 2010, 06:58

Mummy, best friend and guardian.

by Bezial Sun Jan 23 2011, 04:07

We give Bezial all of the love, attention, food etc that he wants/needs and heaps more, but at the end of the day, we are his guardians and he loves us. We can let him in our bed, we can feed him, we can do everything that we can to make his life happy and healthy and worthwhile, but that makes us 'guardians of his quality of life', we could just as easily be 'bad guardians' and make his life hell. He is just very VERY lucky that his 'guardians' love him and want to give him the best life possible.

by lolalollypop Sun Jan 23 2011, 17:08

im defo lolas dad...................cus like my real kids she needs me to feed her take her out clean up after her make sure shes warm and she costs me a fortune lol

by Alfiestaff Fri Feb 04 2011, 21:19

Ours are our babies and our best friends.

by **Stevie b** Fri Feb 04 2011, 22:22

Sid is my one and only boy!! I have responsibilities to my ohs kids but sid is "my" boy!! Prob the wrong order of priorities but that's the truth!!

by **Bruno311210** Wed Apr 06 2011, 08:19

Bruno's my best friend cos i feed and walk him and he's always with me, even in the loo Laughing

by Guest Wed Apr 06 2011, 16:04

My pets are my babies. We say things like, "go to daddy," and, "go to mommy." Probably makes us a bit crazy!

by **Louise C** Fri Apr 08 2011, 20:42

Lola is my baby and I'm her mummy and my daughters sister lol, she is of course also my best friend, companion and stopper of bad people breaking into my house....hopefully haha

by **Keith** Sun May 20 2012, 14:22

I am dad.
He is son.

by Guest Sun May 20 2012, 14:24

Most definitely daddy as she is treat like one of the kids

by Guest Sun May 20 2012, 22:25

I would say dad but also best friend

by Guest Mon May 21 2012, 12:23

Ty is my best friend and I am his protector. It is my pleasure to give him all the things that make his life good and balanced. In return I get pure love and the joy of knowing him.

by **Gazagem** Mon May 21 2012, 12:52

mummy, owner, best friend

by Guest Mon May 21 2012, 13:26

I dont pretend to be the mother of my dog lol. I own her, its my pleasure to own her and i will always do my best for her, but she is a part of the zoo i keep.

by ***Karen*** Mon May 21 2012, 14:50

I went for guardian as clearly, I didnt give birth to my dog lol!

She's also a best friend though! And love her so much that I'd never be without now!!

by Guest Mon May 21 2012, 15:01

You missed out Skivvy ... The buggers get waited on hand and foot Big Grin

by **linzy** Mon May 21 2012, 16:02

I'm Violets full time personal assistant. I also dabble in being her personal chef, listening therapist and bodyguard, but mainly, I just take care of her day to day errands.

by **micheled** Tue May 22 2012, 19:20

Mommy. She knows to go to mommy or daddy (my husband). She is definitely our third child. Maybe it will change more to best friend as she gets older because she's still a puppy? But right now she is our baby Love Struck

Ive put mummy as they are my furkids, but at the same time they get treated like dogs. I respect the fact they are dogs aswel.

by kate32 Wed Jun 06 2012, 22:40

I'm Lola's mummy and she loves her daddy lots!! Smile

by Guest Sun Mar 03 2013, 09:56

Loki's my best friend Big Grin

I don't see him as my 'child' or whatever, so I suppose there's a bit of owner/guardian thrown in there too since he can't do everything he wants to do.

by danielirl Sat Mar 09 2013, 18:02

i say max is my son and i am his father and my wife his mom Big Grin

by Ushanka Sat Mar 09 2013, 18:04

I voted Guardian and then regretted it a bit.

I suppose I'm more than just that.

He's a mixture of my dog and my wee pal.

by Charlene_Frank Mon Mar 11 2013, 14:36

I'm defo Mummy to my Frank and Tara

I’m the one who feeds them, walks them, plays with them, bathes them, comforts them, takes them to the vets, brushes their teeth …. And although I spoil my two I’m also the one who provides the boundaries.

I think I deserve the title lol rolling on the floor

I have invested a lot of love time and money in to my two and its worth every bit of it for the cuddles in bed, the welcome home and the random acts of love from my two.
