I totally agree w/ everyone! I cannot imagine my life w/out my Yorkie and my Maltese. They are my children. I can't imagine my life w/out my pooches. They really do fill a maternal and natural instict in my life. My husband and I are still young (we're both 23) and still have a long way to go before we have children but, to be honest, I am an animal person. Don't get me wrong, I love kids - especially my 2 godchildren who are twin girls. They are 1 year old and I ADORE them. But I love my dogs in a different, special way. I honeslty never wanted children of my own but I ALWAYS wanted a dog. I am actually thinking of getting another tiny girl Yorkie. I think 3 is a good number
