| I have used the expression furbaby before cause I do tend to treat her like a baby at times but I struggle with the phrase "skin child". Wish I could find a sweeter name for my own children. |

| Nice! Seems kinda half/half? or maybe more or don't? I think it's totally cute, I just can't imagine myself saying it! lol. For what it's worth though, I definitely don't think calling your pet a dog is insulting! These days, I'd rather be called a dog than a human! LOL... Being a dog is an awesome thing =0) But I don't like the term 'owner' for us. It just sounds so... I dunno. Enslaving or something. I am more like a parent than an "owner".

| I refer to mine as "my babies". It's not like I would have them confused with human kids, not at my age. I have a granddaughter that is 17, so if I say my babies, people know I am talking about my dogs.

| In real life, I refer to Kaji as my baby or just munchkin. On Facebook, he's "the furry one." On YT, I think I've referred to him as fur any. I'm not sure anymore.

| Well I actually do use the term furbaby. LOL As in "aww...your furbaby is too cute!" When I actually come across someone on the street with a well...cute furbaby. lol I call Ahi my furryface..or fuzzyface. lol She responds to all my nicknames for her.

| I use it sparingly, often in a funny sense, like "oh my fur child is probably missing me, I'd better get home soon!" I do call him my son though!

| Nope, I've never called Harry my 'Furbaby' or 'Furchild' - either here or in 'real-life' He's 'My Littlie' (in comparison to my BIG kids!! )....and all the Yorkies on here, to me, are 'The Littlies' Sally + Harry x |

And it's impossible to walk past Harry when he's laying on the floor, however deeply asleep he is, he always lifts his leg up for that 'inner thigh tickly rub'....love it! Sally + Harry x | |
