"Adopting" is buying, and unless you fished that animal out of a raging river, a burning building, or some other calamity, you didn't "rescue" it, you bought it.

I got into a war of wits with an unarmed opponent on another META product called Threads. It is supposed to be the response to the Musk takeover of Twitter.

It's not, unless you consider a place peopled by screaming incels to be a solid backdrop for reasonable discourse.

I go there for distraction and not much else. It is not emerging as a significant player in the social media landscape, and I'm not sure where it fits for my particular uses. But, alas, there I was...

Anyway- player A says when breeders or puppy mills use the term "adopt," it offends them.

I say, any time someone uses the term "adopt," and money changes hands, it's a purchase, regardless of whether it's a breeder, a "rescue," or a shelter.

A week of hilarity ensued, where I had to point out to this person that their own statement about breeders and puppy mills selling dogs while using the term "adopt" is no different than a rescue or shelter using it when money is changing hands.

That there, Sonny, is called a purchase.

What do they think it is when a shelter or rescue does it? They have to pay staff, feed bills, vet bills, housing, etc. Couching the language as "adoption" doesn't make it less a purchase.

Someone suggested a better term is "donation," which suggests that the -donor- gets to choose the amount. When the price is already determined, that is a transaction based on value, nothing else.

I don't have a problem with people buying dogs. I do have a problem with institutions re-framing language to drive an agenda.

Call it what it is.

Fight me in the comments.

Patrick Swayze once said, "They told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them, do you know what a dog smells like? It smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, pure unconditional love. And in spite of all they've been through, they smell no resentment. So blessed that my house smells like dogs."

Isn't this the perfect reminder that true blessings can't be measured by society's standards? Patrick Swayze captured what we seasoned dog mamas have known all along - that a house filled with the presence of our faithful companions is really filled with love, not just "dog smell." When our hearts are full of joy and gratitude from our four-legged angels, who cares what others think about our homes? After all, the most precious things in life can't be seen, but they can surely be felt... and sometimes smelled! ❤️
