They talk baby talk, play dress up, etc.
Before being labeled "dog hater", I have sheltered, shared my home with, loved and cared for 8 dogs in my lifetime. Never once did I suffer the delusion they were human. When see people so emotionally addicted to their dogs, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for that poor person.
While dogs posses many remarkable abilities, they are still dogs. Please stop demeaning your pet by calling it "FUR baby". Please remember that their hearing is way better then yours ever was and avoid places where they will be subjected to large crowds and loud noises, like the squares, fireworks and thunderstorms. Frightening and confusing for animals. And remember that not everyone likes, loves, trusts or wants your dog to approach them.

P.S. beware of Halloween treats others may try to give your pet. It might not be something they should have.
We are friends now exactly what I was trying to convey-- but my mail carrier education didn't come off as eloquently as this post.
