I know this may sound off and it maybe waaaaay off, but I decided it would not hurt anything if I said it so I feel like Spike is treated more like a pet she helped him hatch, he sleeps on the floor in a basket instead of a normal bed, she has him fetch things like a pet and also gives him jobs almost like a guard animal I know she treats him like her child and best friend, but animal owners do the same with their pets and the list goes on now I know I am probably waaay off with that idea, but that's ok posting it anyways.
