Really? Video Chat with your Pet???

Don't have to worry about checking on my Collies they come with me. Darn good security system. As far as the house goes have a security system and insurance.

Three buried in the back of the property and two fur babies in the house. We adopt large breeds to protect our property and treat them as our kids but still in the end they are just dogs.

We can't bury in the back yard as it is illegal and we're in a suburban neighborhood. We treat ours as kids as well, but although your wording might sound harsh to some I understand your sentiment. However, before you go labeling someone as crazy because they purchase this item keep in mind many are not as fortunate as you and I-all they have is a pet. If this gives a person piece of mind then it's not up to me to judge them.

When I was a kid, nobody paid money for a dog. They just showed up stray or somebody gave you a pup, as nobody spayed a dog, either. They ate whatever leftovers were tossed out in the (unfenced) yard and I don't remember a fat dog in our neighborhood. We never owned a dog until I was 18 and a gorgeous beagle appeared at our door, a Halloween prank as teens picked up dogs and dropped them off across town Nobody answered the "found dog" ad we placed so we had him into his 20's. Speegle was such a great dog.

Many people literally treat their pets as humans now so this doesn't surprise me at all. I still remember the days when a dog was actually a dog. When it died you were sad for a bit, buried it in the back yard and bought another one. To show you how much times have changed, watch the replies to my post :-)
