I was going to say that, but I thought he would have something dumb to say. Yes our dogs, too.

Me? Why would I disagree? I just meant I don't "own" animals. What did I say that was dumb that implied otherwise? I had a "pet" raccoon for 6 years that played call of duty with me. She was wild. I only believe in ownership in terms of legality. Mostly to get them health care. It's a mutual bond.

Havng a pet s not ownership anymore than an adopted child s

Yeah. Agreed. That was actually kinda my point. I don't know if there's some lost in translation stuff going on, but yeah. We're on the same page. LEGALLY you "own" the kid/pet. You're responsible. But they are their own independent being. That's literally what I meant. Sorry for the confusion?
