It really is you don't know what it's like until you have one of your very own, whether it be a skinkid or a furbaby. I don't know what it's like to be a skinmom, but I know that being a furmom is wonderful and indescribable in its own way. |
Awww...that is nice to know. I am both a human kid mom & a puppy mom -- there are MANY ways they are so similar. I think I made a mistake thinking they were not so alike a few years ago. But, the longer I have them, the more I see the similarities. When you have more than one dog, you start seeing their interactions as so close to human children, it is amazing too! My mom & dad had six kids, now they have six dogs. They see all of us kids in those dogs. They haven't said directly, but I know which one reminds them of me.
I am very thankful they have their pups -- I think they are such nurturing people, they cannot imagine a life without little ones to care for.
