It paints a picture of perhaps light-headed overindulgence , but the first commenter on the post , hchamma2 , hits the nail right on the head : " Do millennials care too much for their pets , or are we the first contemporaries to care for them right ? "

Ellie ’s mom , Canadian Jessna Marmo , agrees . She tells Daily Paws in an audience that she does n’t entail to sock other generations — at least not as much as this author does — but she and other millennials do go pretty dang hard when it comes to spoil our ducky .

We get that it seems like too much , but part of ball up Ellie comes from real - human beings logical thinking , Marmo says . Affording a sign of the zodiac — the Canadian living accommodations grocery is in " crisis " and oursisn’t much beneficial — is a financial pipe dream for many in our generation . It ’s the same for raising a human child . adopt and doting on a dog is one of the few thing we can afford .

" She ’s my child , " Marmo says . " We do everything together . "

Ellie ’s video recording , which has 4.3 million views so far , is an right-down millennian passe-partout class in how to raise your dog . Cute outfitsfor additional societal medium clout ? Yup . Frequent tasty treats ? surely . leave behind the television set on our puppy ’s favorite show ? Of course . It ’s all about making sure our heel can live their estimable , most stylish life .

Plus , Marmo and her fiancé do the important stuff that might not make for the best TikToks . She and Ellie dopuzzlesto help with the 7 - month - onetime pup ’s genial enrichment . She says Ellie will spend an hour on intellectual nourishment puzzles , too — substantial , hem , encephalon food .

Other folks , even other millennials , might still gibe and suppose it ’s still too much . But it ’s not !

" It definitely does topic , " Marmo says . " They definitely have emotions , they definitely have smell . They see you , I see them . They ’re a part of you . "

So that settles it : distinctly millennials are the safe at dog ownership ! Throw that onto a involvement prize and pass me my celebratory alligator pear toast andhard sparkling water !
