I am not an empty nester, a pre-nester, or a non-nester...just have a fondness for fur babies.

I grew up with animals and had my own animals growing up and took my Yorkie-Poo with me, my children grew up with animals, my children have animals now, as do I, and only one of my kids has a child so far, but my grandaughter is growing up with animals as well. It is a very interesting question, however!
