Is Your Pet A Part of Your Family?

Share stories with readers about your pet as a family member.

Today our pets are parts of the family. The stigma years ago of crying over a pet is over-- they travel with us, they sleep in our beds, get special foods, treats and toys; go to day care and even get birthday parties and "Bark" Mitzvahs.

Readers love to hear about the fun times we all share with our pets. Some call us crazy and some call us normal. Please share with us how your pet is a part of the family. What special occasions have you shared? What makes you smile most about your pet? Does everyone in the family feel the same way? Are your normal or nutty? Photos, videos, stories, we would love to see them all!

Thanks in advance for sharing.
