I had to go back to my post to know how to reply to this.

My "dog" comment was part of a reply (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,43279.msg280069.html#msg280069) where I tried to address the expectations listed by Jay:

Quote from: sneakersjaySociety's expecations (good grades, college, good paying job, marriage, house, kids, dog) is a myth and a trap.

I was then addressing these various items one at a time. I would never have a dog, as I just don't like pets in general. I'm not entirely sure why dog was in the list, but I think the list was just a general list of the Ultimate Suburban Family.

oh no, dogs are not suburbian at all, per se. they are wonderful, wonderful creatures that add an awful lot of fun and sanity to a life. believe it or not, my little dog may well have saved two human lives already.
