dog vs child

[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

You are defintely not crazy!! I am single and have no kids, just four furbabies and I can't imagine having kids now. I am always busy with the puppies that I can't imagine adding a skin kid into the mix. At this point in my life I am totally happy no having any kids...and have a hard time imaging my life any other way. I am to point now where I am not even sure I need a man in my life anytime soon!! LOL

We had 'furbabies' long before we had kids and we would take them to the park. They were our babies. I can tell you though that there really is no comparison to pets and kids. Kids will always come before a pet when you have both but until then, it's nice to have 'furbabies to spoil.

I was having an urge to have a baby and we have only been married 7 months then we got Carlos and it went away a little. I am just worried when the time comes to have the skin baby will the two get along and will Carlos resent me for not getting as much attention.

Ok... kids are what drive you insane! lol No just kidding. I have both...in equal amounts and by far and away my skin kids bring me more joy (but also more heartache). For some people a dog can take the place of a baby. I think this is great for new couples... make sure you are going to stay together and helps you see the different styles you will have in taking care of a baby. Women get to see that they are (usually) the ones to do all the work!lol When my kids get married I will probably buy them a dog for a wedding present. I really do think it helps you get ready and possible put it off til you are ready. BUT that being said. Dogs (in my heart) can never totally replace a real baby. (sorry if that offends some of you). But if you can't have babies and can't or don't want to adopt... I say a yorkie or maltese is the very next best thing! or if you have all boys and you want a girl to dress up...lol

Now I don’t think about kids as much, I want another yorkie does this make me a weird person, I mean she is like having a child she keeps me up all night and I chase after her all day. I never thought I would love a dog so much but I am not ready to take the focus off her she is like my baby. Am I insane?

Now I don't feel crazy, I am so glad you posted this because I am feeling the same exact way! Glad that other people feel this way to. I know one day I'll have one but for now Parker is all I need! ...oh and my HUSBAND too...hehe
