[Rajah'sMom]

I think of my pets as my children, but given the chance to save either my human child or my pet.... I think that is maybe what the article means. I think people who don't have human children can't understand how much more you love them than your pets. Don't get me wrong, lots of people think I'm crazy for spending so much money on the best foods and for having medical insurance for my dogs. I also spent a lot of money on Rajah's TPLO surgery last year, which she has fully recovered from and hasn't yet had any problems with the other leg. Heck, we love the dogs so much we won't leave them when we go on vacation-they go too. We couldn't stand to leave them in a kennel or with friends. I love my dogs and my kids, I just know the difference.
