Your friends are insane, your dog is beautiful, and you don't need to worry about a thing! I get pickid on some by my dad about how I treat my dogs, but when push comes to shove, my dad would kill someone over them. And I was picked on once at work, but a guy there told them to leave me alone. Even though he thinks I'm nuts 'cause I have large breed dogs, he won't let anyone pick on me over it.

One thing that I have always heard while I was growing up was that the way you treat your pet will show how good of a parent you will be. And I think that is true. Especally now that I'm a mom.

If your friends can't respect you, it may be time to try and find some new ones. I guess I'm just a mean person, because picking on one of my pets will get you kicked out of my house, with no invation to come back. But hold your head high, don't feel ashamed, and by the way, I love the shirt!
