  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

I never treated my cats like children, but I sure as hell do with my dogs. Because they are just like every 3-5 year old I've ever babysat. But cuter.

So is he a stick figure and she isn't, or is he just standing there naked?

My roommate absolutely did this with her cat. That cat would let my roommate do about anything to her, including being an entire feline machine gun.

Also, does the lady in the picture have two arms?Picture has a very "off" vibe to it.

While on a crowded bus people thought I had a baby. I talk to my pup all the time.
