Good post Twisterdog, and true. The only time I really have a problem with "non-pet" type people is when they criticize or make judgements about me because of my bond with them. I like watching kids from afar, I especially enjoy them when they are well behaved children, but I am not interested in having kids myself, and I also don't "gush" over any baby I run across. I guess I do probably gush more over dogs/puppies/cats/kittens etc etc more.

One of my husband's friends used to mock and bash people who took their dogs everywhere with them or talked to them like "kids" and he would do this right in front of me even though he knew I was "one of those people." That's just disrespectful and inconsiderate.

On a final note though, I usually relate and get along best with other pet people. I suppose that's only natural. I'm just a lot more interested in people who have pets, but I won't judge someone or deliberately shun them if they don't
