Exactly! My sister worries that she spoils her dog but I explain that animals aren’t children, we aren’t supposed to be raising them into well adjusted people who need to go out on their own into the world. They’re just pets, we keep them for companionship and joy, and giving them simple pleasures and seeing them happy is the point.

Not to be confused with training pets tho.
You can still have a trained dog that you spoil with some things.
For example: serve steak to your dog that’s not allowed in the kitchen. So they sit patiently at the edge drooling away.

I don’t know whether to find it chilling or heartwarming that I could basically have taken this photo.
robocall@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I think it’s heartwarming!

Cats are for spoiling of course

Not to be pedantic but that looks like a teepee, not a yurt.

Misread yurt as yuri at first lol. Quite certain I won’t be alone in that though

I sometimes feel bad that animals that know how to use word buttons and iPads and all these interesting new technology things will never be able to pass their knowledge down to other animals in the wild and I wonder sometimes if animals as a whole would be smarter if we would just share our smart pets with the wild animals so they can learn good stuff

I love you for writing this comment and making me think about this.

Lol I’m glad someone enjoyed it and it wasn’t as stupid as it sounds in my head

That’s basically why humans are OP. A maxed out teach skill, paired with a high social base stat, is incredible synergy. Tool use is just a bonus.
