Well, and issue or not- (I don't think I've ever called anyone out on the "furkid" thing- rolled my eyes maybe, but since I tend to come across it on the internet, that likely goes unnoticed)- I think it's an interesting mental shift/social phenomenon- that dogs went from being a friend, to family, to a surrogate child. And perhaps that has always been the case to a certain extent, but I do not think it was so prevalent. Perhaps I was simply not so exposed to it, I don't know.
