Welcome back to Rescue Dog Love! In today’s episode, host Yamini chats with Blair, the DINK Dog Mom! What is a DINK? A "DINK" is an acronym that stands for "dou ble income, no kids" or "dual income, no kids" - so Blair and I chat about exactly why we have decided to raise dogs, not kids. What criticisms or assumptions do people make about those who choose not to have children? And why are people so upset at the term “dog mom”?
