15 signs you think your pet is more important than a human
ONE OF THE family: That’s the phrase many pet owners would use to describe their furry friends.
There’s just something about these animals that brings out our maternal and paternal sides, with some going as far as to call their pets their children.
Most don’t see it coming, and before they know it they’ve gone from dog/cat admirer to devotee, finding more comfort and support in their furry friends than they do in their own social circles.
Sure wouldn’t you take them to the vet at the slightest sign of a sniffle but put off going to the doctor yourself because you’ll ‘be grand’?
Here are the signs to look out for if you suspect you might think your pet is more important than a human:
1. You feed them better quality food than you feed yourself.
