patgundI thought of laughing at this, but the more I read it the sadder I felt for the woman in question.
In a nutshell, woman has one child by a boyfriend who ran out on her, is pregnant with another child from another boyfriend who ran out on her when she was three months along, and is breastfeeding her dog.
I think it's safe to say someone has issues......

I breastfeed my dog
"It was sod's law. I'd just got my daughter, Tasha, off to sleep, now, my dog, Dixie, was barking like mad to be fed. I opened the kitchen cupboard, only to see there wasn't a single tin of dog food left. I felt like crying. Worst of all, I knew Dixie wouldn't shut up until she'd filled her stomach.
'We must have something,' I said, as I peered inside the fridge.
Then I spotted the bottles of breast milk I'd expressed earlier that day.
Admittedly, Tasha, 17 months, was quite old to still be breastfeeding, but I loved the bond it gave us, so I'd decided to carry on. It was free, too, which was good, because since I'd split up with her dad, Ted Collins, 35, when she was 3 months old, money was tight.
I'd always produced more milk than Tasha could drink, so I'd got into the habit of keeping some in the fridge for when I left her with a babysitter.
I stared at the milk and then back at Dixie. I couldn't, could I?
But her barking deafened me.
'What's the worst that can happen?' I said, grabbing one of the bottles and pouring it in her bowl.
Dixie sniffed her bowl, and in no time at all, she'd lapped it up. I started to wonder. "

HOWEVER.
We got a baby kitten bottle at the pet shop, and fed the kitten from the bottle - ONLY until someone from the UCD Vet school picked up the kitten for their feral kitten rescue program.
1. Already lactating.
2. TINY KITTEN.

I don't want to read that article, it's just TOO MUCH TMI for my taste.
