Interesting question, what do you all think?

Furbabies is just a term of affection and not a technical term. If we only spoke to be technically correct, our language would be dull indeed.

Lol! Henri knows I'm mad when I call him his "special nickname", petite merde, which is french for something I will not say on this forum.

I told her I would see what the lovely people of YorkieTalk think on the matter. So will it be furbaby or hairbaby? Tell me what you think!

Interesting: Yorkies do have hair and I do like the term Fur-babies but I prefer to call mine fur-butts. But that would be so very awkward if I were to start calling them " Hairy-butts" Dontcha think ?

I actually call mine "amor". Haha! My neighbors think I let my boyfriend move in.

I'm on the munchkin boat. Whenever we talk about the kiddos (another name we use) with my bestie they're munchkins or "the kids." No hairy babies here.
