|  Dogs OR babies..? Why do so many here call their yorkies their ''babies''? Just wondering  I wouldn't own dogs if they looked like babies

| It's a term of endearment to many.

| I think I mentioned this before, but I will repeat..... My daughter, the spoiled 28 year old that she is, said to me "You care more about those dogs then you do me" (after I told her no money)....I said "Jodie that's not true, I love you all the same"....she hung up on me!!!

| I'm 20 and although I've been in a loving relationship for nearly 5 years, we are not ready for a skinbaby!! So Luma is our baby! Even after I have a skin child, she will always be special. She was my first When we first got her my bf would get mad when I called her my daughter or said hes the daddy...now he cradles her in his arms like a baby and whispers how daddy loves Luma...til she falls asleep in his arms then he refuses to get up and disturb her because "the baby is sleeping"

| Lol, the only word that drives me somewhat nutters is furbabies or skin child (referring to human babies). I know, I know, no harm, whatever, but for some reason it weirds me out. When I think of a skin baby, I think of this:  LoL... And furbabies reminds me of furby's.  I guess I've said before "he's my baby" to people who mention things like "omg you take so many pictures of your dog!" (Lol, believe me, I've heard it before, and it's true ) and I'll reply with "oh he's my baby!" but in general, I don't really refer to him as anything.

| I call Troy "the baby." My daughter calls him her brother. It's an endearment term and honestly he is just like my child. I pay for his food, heathcare and shelter. He gets spoiled just as much as my daughter. I just wish I could file him on my taxes with my daughter.
