Gen X Pets: They're Just Like Us
from Strangers With Kittens · host Eileen Kelly
Send us Fan MailBack in the 70s and 80s, the pets were just as feral as the kids. Roaming the streets, marking their territory, and never hesitating to sink their teeth or claws into your skin if you got too close. They didn't go to the vet, they didn't get pampered with a groomer, there were no puppuccinos, no one celebrated a "gotcha day" and they certainly were not allowed in the bed. But thankfully, we have evolved. Thankfully, pets are celebrated and loved more than ever. In this week's episode, Eileen speaks about her Soul Dog, Bear. Reflecting on the stark differences in our relationship with our pets from the 80s to now. So curl up with your fur baby and tune in to Gen X Pets.
