They’re more like kids than friends, since friends don’t usually rely on you to survive. They’re call fur babies for a reason.

There’s a documentary about Gunther, apparently it’s all a scam and the whole thing is a cult.

I don’t think I’ve met anyone that wasn’t ratchet or degen who thought of their pet as anything other than close companions.

That’s so fucking awful.
There’s got to be a special hell for people who treat animals that way.

As cute as that sounds, for dogs, reducing separation anxiety is counterintuitive.
The more emotional both departing and returning is. The more it hurts them when you leave, the more separation anxiety develops.
In an ideal world, when you leave your dog for the day, saying nothing when going and a professionally distant “greetings puppy” when you return will reduce anxiety for a dog when left alone. This doesn’t work by itself; you have to teach them to be alone slowly and carefully.
While I agree with you about the unceremonious departings, I firmly believe that when you’re reunited with pets you should greet them wholeheartedly, on their level with unbridled affection.
Sounds like you’re slowly turning them into a cat.
My cat still has separation anxiety
This also works well for children.
Lock them in a closet first for extra distance.
Nooooo You are just training them to try harder and harder
I’ve had pets for more than forty years and I’ve never had one try to convince me not to go to work. Either:
I’m an asshole and they want me to leave
I’m a workaholic and they know not to bother asking (likely)
I’m oblivious to them making this plea every day
Most pets adapt to your routine quickly, they’ve got a strong internal clock (just try moving their dinner time and see for yourself).
I’ve never had pets beg me not to go, but if they did I’m sure pretending they persuaded me would only make them think they can do it again and for them to try harder.
As Dwight Schrute would explain that Micheal explained to him: “we deceive them to not hurt their feelings, and in doing so, we honor them”
If the plea does nothing they will end up stopping so I don’t think it’s the third one at least.

This is wholesome as fuck.

What the fuck is this response.
Unless you make a convincing argument otherwise, I’m gonna mark you as a bot and encourage others to do so as well.
I have no idea. They posted on a few of my posts in rapid fire succession and none of the comments make sense.
Edit: I am loving the fact that everyone is active and reporting offending stuff overall. Please do keep that energy! But I’m definitely aware of this comment and looking into it at the moment. Their whole posting history is… strange and there’s a discussion happening. Don’t worry. It’s being taken care of. Thanks for y’alls diligence <3
