My weenie dog acts just like me. Most lovable and loyal item I could possibly have. And, he knows who the boss is

I don't think people without kids are the only ones who treat their pets like kids.
My 'pets' are a part of my family. They are my babies, they are dependant on me for their well being. In return, they provide the most pure unconditional love there is, always happy to see you, whether you've been gone 5 minutes or 5 days, always happy with the same old food you put in their bowl day after day after day, never asking much of you, they just love you, period!!

As the saying goes...If I could only be the person that my dog thinks I am!
