My furkids Donating Member | We call them...furbutts, furkids, furbabies, the girls and little man and "the kids"..I have 2 grown children from a previous marriage so I really do have kids but, Hubby never had children so these ARE his kids!

| I call all my "pet dogs" babies.....the newborns are puppies or usually enfants....my "breeding stock" are my ladies and gentlemen......Like someone has said, I feel cold or hard calling them "dogs"....they are so much more to me than just "dogs"..... |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Only on here and to certain people do I use the term furkid or furbaby, and then not often, it's usually to differentiate between my sons and dogs in a post. At times I don't know what to call them, there so much more than dogs, but the "furkid" term brings to my mind, a hair covered human kid. I end up referring to them as pups, or my babies, Ruby is my little girl.

| I agree, I dislike the term owner, but many people don't like "parent." Are there other alternatives? I have been searching for something to please everyone.

| I use it IRL. I had used to refer to them as child substitutes, but its so much easier to say furbaby or the occasional furbutts I'm such the crazy dog lady, that anytime a patient at work mentions their dog I whip out the YT calendar and am showing my furbabies off

| Tessie is definitely our "little girl" and we are always calling her our little girl or baby girl It's funny because I have responded with furbaby when people say- "You don't have any children or when are you going to have a baby?" - I have responded "We have a furbaby" My mom even calls Tessie her "grand furbaby"

GRANDPUPPYS!!!!! I love my grandpuppys! Zoe is 1/2 corgi and 1/2 jackrussel (we think),Ein is a tricolor corgi and is only 4months old. They come over and play with the rest of the pack. It really does look like a bunch of kids (not goats) in the backyard playing chase. | |

| I am of the older generation and furbaby, furkid seem weird to me. We have called them our dogs, Doggy Babies, Yorkie Babies or just babies for as long as I can remember. I do not have any prejudice in my heart and am a love child of the 1960s and an old hippie but, am not always caught up on new ways of saying things. My 21 year old granddaughter gently corrects me when I say something not used anymore like: my grandfather was an Indian, one doesn't own a dog, little people are not called dwarfs, you never say colored person when talking about a child with interracial parents, homosexuals are referred to as gay, and gender can be a choice now ( ? ) Unwed parent, is single parent. A bad person, is damaged. A poor person is never lazy, always underprivileged, I am not fat but, overweight. Christian does not mean a person who loves Jesus, but means someone who is old fashioned and judgmental. Sigh.... I could go on and on but I might say something that is not bad, I mean cool, I mean..............

If we can't "own" our dogs then can't they be taken from us by anyone who wants them? What would a dog do without and owner? Run wild in the streets like a stray? What nonsense. | |
