Giving to our pets as we did to our kids

As I watch my daughter's mature, I see the next generation of "pleasers". Falling into the role of pleasing teachers, coaches and peers - I watch my daughters slip easily into a common female pattern.

I am far from a feminist. Very comfortable in my role as caretaker, wife and mother, I am a strong believer that we were given these hormones (to love and care) for a reason - to ensure the survival of the human race.

I read a review of "The Female Brain" today and thought to myself: "What a genius Louann is" to articulate the complex innuendo's of the female thought process.

I will continue the deep thought process in another post, the point of this post was: When the kid's leave the nest, "Mom's" are shifting their pampering to dogs, cats and other pets. The pet industry is expanding by leaps and bounds as the US population ages. Hypothetically, the need to nurture was fulfilled by grandchildren in past generations. Women are having children later and later and not settling geographically close to thier parents. This removes a woman's ability to continue nurturing as she enter's her golden years.

Enter, kitty or puppy. Our spoiled dog, Ante prefers these treats:

Dingo Ringo 3 pack Irresistible real chicken breast rolled in natural rawhide in a novel ring shape. Gives your dog a healthy & fun way to exercise and clean their teeth.

Ante is spoiled, yes - but fulfills a instict need.
