"What?" she said, as she turned back to look at me.
There. I had said it. Out loud. I had practiced saying it in my head a few times, sure, but had never said it out loud and to another person before.
"My nephew. This would be a good toy for him," I repeated.
She arched her eyebrows and gave me a look that said "Really??"
"Oh my goodness. Don't be one of those people."
"What? I'm just saying."
"You know what I mean. One of those people that calls their sister's dog their nephew."
She obviously did not approve. She kept walking, reached up and dropped a bag of Beggin' Strips into her shopping basket. Dog treats... for her nonexistent dog.
"Are you buying dog treats for America?" I asked accusingly. (America is our office manager's dog who comes into work every day, but the important thing to keep in mind here is that America is someone else's dog, a dog which she bought a big bag of treats for to store on her desk).
"Yea, so?"
Well, I'll be if we aren't two of the craziest dog people who are seriously in denial.

I think America and Petrie are two very cute names for dogs, and definitely not in the traditional sense. I can just imagine the owner saying "Hold on, I'm busy feeding America!"
LOL, that's too funny. Our office manager rescued America. And America had a brother named Freedom. No joke.
My sister named her dog Petrie after the dinosaur in Land Before Time. :P
If it makes you feel any better, I buy dog toys for my dog-sister Sadie and my dog-son Buddy at Target. And if my sister had a cute little doggie like Petrie, then I'd probably buy toys for my dog-nephew. Actually, I am the proud new aunt to my sister's Lion Head Bunny-- Hattie. I don't buy her toys-- well, because she's a rabbit and she hates me...
Rather sadly, my mum calls herself my dog's granny ... I'd mind less if she didn't have proper human grandchildren!
