| I'm sorry...I don't understand? It's a term of endearment that many use when referring to their dogs... They're covered in fur...people treat them like their children... |

| I'm not sure I understand the question. I refer to my Quad-Squad as my furkids and often times furbabies. Just my personal preference! |

| I use Furbaby all the time. Mine are my babies and "furbaby" just sounds like they are so spoiled. And of course they are...

| I also say "furbaby" all the time. Chloe is my baby, she just wears a fur coat all the time It's not just a term for Yorkies, it's all dogs.
