skinkids..been there, done that. They are in their 30s, have their own lives. Furkids will never ask you to solve their lifestyle problems, disappoint you or question your entire value system. Furkids may have accidents, but that's why they're called accidents and not 'on purposes'. They love you unconditionally no matter how often YOU disappoint THEM. Yorkies are truly special, but I talk about all my furbabies.
My friends and co-workers get annoyed, but I figure I indulge their ramblings about their pregnancies, birthings and 'real' babies, so shut up and listen to me...mine are just as important and infinitely cuter!
Talk about em? You betcha. Thanks for listening.
