Do you think of yourself as your dog's (or other pet's) mommy or daddy? I do in a way..I'm not crazy enough to truly think they're my kids LOL but I do think of them as members of the family and we call ourselves Mommy and Daddy to them. To cats this doesn't much matter because cats don't pay attention to things like that and I don't think they think of us with any sort of name attached. For example if I said to my cat "Punkin, go to daddy" he'd just stare at me.
Dogs however; are completely different. My dogs know the names of all our family members and I can tell my dog Sammi "go sleep with S_____" and she'll go to my daughter's room. or "Go sleep with G_____ and L_____" or "Go sleep with the boys" and she'll go to my sons' room. Likewise if I tell her "go see daddy" she'll walk to my husband. I have always used "mommy" and "daddy" with animals and can't imagine using our first names. Is that weird? LOL
So, what do you call yourself to your dogs? Do people look at you funny?
