    Font - Kristen Mulrooney @missmulrooney My 3-year-old said she wished we had a pet. I reminded her we have a dog and wow the genuine surprise on her face as it dawned on her that our dog is a pet and not just some other guy who lives here. 12:02 AM.

    Kids seriously have some of the best reactions to things. It's always funny to watch them find out new things. But here, we have to admit that… sometimes, we too forget that our puppers are not real humans. They're just such huge parts of our lives and our families that we can't help but think of them as human sometimes.

    Font - Elizabeth Tulloch @BitsieTulloch ... Replying to @missmulrooney I never thought of my dog Henry as a dog. I even referred to him after my daughter's birth as my "firstborn" (much to my husband's chagrin and even though he passed away nearly 3 years ago Vivian still talks about her "big brother Henry the puppydog who's in heaven" 1:03 AM.

    Sometimes, we think of them as human a bit too much. If you've ever said anything to your pet - yes, because we talk to them, don't judge - and actually half-expected them to answer you with actual human words… then you know you're in a bit too deep.

My husband says no we have a dog, she's like "he's not a pet though” the innocence 2:13 AM Feb 8, 2023 322.6K Views

    Font - Kristen Mulrooney @missmulrooney Replying to @Joscelynkate I've always wondered what my kids think about the dog because as far as they're concerned, he's always been here. So I've narrowed it down to "not a pet." 2:43 AM Feb 8, 2023 299.2K Views

    Font - Yve Chairez @YveChairez Replying to @missmulrooney Omg yes like when my daughter was three and she met a friend's German Shepherd and was like "MOM LOOK A DOG IVE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE!" while our Boston terrier was on a leash next to us. To be fair they are very different looking dogs but still 7:51 PM. Feb 8, 2023 · 53.7K Views

    Font - SarahSoNovel @SarahSoNovel Replying to @missmulrooney and @clairewillett 3yo came to visit. Wanted so badly to meet our cat. Cat came to look at him, but ran whenever he approached. 3 asked why. I said because he doesn't know who you are. So he waved at cat, said "Hello, my name is Christopher." Fully expected cat to go ok, *now* we're friends! 5:46 AM Feb 9, 2023 14.6K Views ... .
