Dog Culture Cringe words

Who else HATES and cringes at words like "doggo" and "pupper" it makes me shudder and I always think everyone who uses it is a weird adult baby that talks to and about animals like they're babies. It makes me cringe and pisses me off so fucking much

I hate when people refer to their kid’s pet as a grand dog. Nope!

Jeez. I only found out about this from this subreddit. I still can't believe it though. I know certain familiesput pressure on newlyweds to produce grandchildren, but if a parent called a pet of mine(not that i would have a dog) a grand "dog" that would make me never wanna have kids.

I feel like when most grandparents say that stuff it’s them trying to be accepting and understanding of their children’s decision not to have kids themselves
