How many actually use the term "FurChild" or "FurBaby"? 1 Attachment(s) I'm just wondering. To me, it looks sort of normal to see online, but I can't imagine someone actually using it in real life. I've never used it online either tho. I know I couldn't do it. Furbaby reminds me of a Furby too :eek: Attachment 373290 |
I don't say "furbaby," and I'm not sure that I've ever typed it, but it's definitely not something I use regularly. I often say "the girls" or "pups" when I'm referring to Rory and Lane. |
I refer to my girls as "furkids" online, but I don't think I've ever said it in public:laugh: I know everyone here will understand how I feel about my doggies. Other people see them as "just dogs":rolleyes: I do know that they mean the world to me:love: |
i have seen the term furkids used a lot although i dont use it when referring to my own . i usually just say i have 3 dogs & 2 cats. although in my home they have many cutesy nicknames i call them .. |
We have two sons so we either refer to Sophie as "our little girl" or Sophie. |
Only on line ! |
LOL, I generally call my dogs.......well..........dogs.:) While I sometimes think that calling them dogs when others use terms like furbaby or furchild seems somewhat cold, I never think of them (or anyone else's) as "just" dogs. :) |
Call me crazy but I always call Georgie my furry boy. I actually feel kinda weird saying dog. I always mess with my skin son who is 4 and tell him he is my furry son and Georgie is my not so furry son he thinks its hilarious. He said Mommy I am not furry like Georgie;) |
I use "furbaby" in real conversation so much that those around me have started using it too :D I think it better expresses how much a dog means to an owner...than just DOG. |
I have always said Furkid's. |
Yup. I think it is fun.:) I use furkids and kidren. online and while dasually talking.. Not in a professional setting or when first meeting somebody.. I don't see them as my kids. It just sounds cute. We use "the girl" and "the boy" a lot. I never have called them son and daughterand never will. |
Totally agree Quote:

In real life, I refer to Tatiana as "our only child." :) Given how she's treated and how I take her EVERYWHERE, it's the truth. :) |

I totally agree with you;) My family knows not to call Georgie or our sweet Girl Coco our dogs. |
names I would never use the term furbaby.People here would think I was odd.Having said that I definately don,t see my Reuben as just a dog.He is my baby. |
I use baby or furbaby online only or around my f a m i l y I I call m i n e f u r I I I I |
I call mine Furbutts or Gorkies (Yorkies and Golden) |
I call mine that online. But most of the time I call them my girls. |
I refer to my 4 as the furgirls or furkids, mostly online and in emails, sometimes call them the pupsters. I've never referred to them as daughter, son, or baby, and actually rarely refer to them as dogs. |
We have furbabys around here and I have ALWAYS called my children "people puppys". I dont like the term "skin kids" makes me think of a slasher movie. |
I most often say "the boys," sometimes monsters, doggies, security system, furballs, gremlins, and my babies. Depends on context and audience. |
I refer to Couver and Khloe as "the pups" but don't think I ever call them furkids even online. |
I have never used the word in real life talking just on here. I normally refer to Callie as just my baby or Callie. |
I usually refer to mine as...My boys, The boys, Baby(ies), My little peanuts. |
I use the term furbabies on here occasionally, in real life I usually refer to them in conversation by their name and don't normally use the term dog and just say they are my spoiled babies. |
I use those terms here but in talking to people, I always say "my Yorkie", referring to my dogs. I love the word, the connotation, even just the sound of the word "Yorkie" so I use it every single chance I get in the real world. If I could without it being too confusing, I have and will again consider naming one of my Yorkies "Yorkie"! Such a cute word - I love it. |
My daughter calls our Kipper a ground bat because he flies around the house, faster than the eye can travel! I call him Kippy or Kipper, though. When we had a dairy goat farm, I needed to differentiate between the kids and my children. I was so careful to only use children when referring to my own children, that I began calling the goat kids, goat children! As for furbaby or furbutt, I have decided not to refer to Kipper by that, since he doesn't have fur, but hair and that is one reason we decided to get a Yorkie, since my daughter is allergic to animal fur and is not allergic to the hair on schnauzers, poodles, or Yorkies (these are the only breeds we have tried and have been successful, since I know there are other breeds that should also be "hypoallergenic," I think). I don't mind if someone else wishes to call their dog something like that, although I do cringe when I hear something derogatory, such as stupid or dum dum, etc. |
We call ours, our babies...I do call them furbutts or furkids on here. No matter what I call them, they come running... |
I usually say my babies in person... But I do say furnish a lot too... Both online and in oerson |
Did you say "furnish"? |
