Yorkies ARE your kids I'm just curious - how many here have their beautiful yorkie babies, and no kids. I got my baby when my fertility treatments all failed. She brought light into my life where darkness lived.........and I am so grateful for her. I never thought a furbaby could be so special. So just curious if there are any other "child free" owners out there :) |
Child free owner here. I do not plan on having kids, and having my 2 babies is wonderful. After working in a day care for many years and being a baby nurse, having puppies was the best route for me:) |
Close enough, my son is grown and lives in Texas with his family. Only had one child & I missed not having more. Making up for it now with our 2 girls & Max. I'm ready for a house load of furbabies. |
ME! :wavey: No skin children here...just the furbabies :D You don't know HOW much I get HOUNDED by the people in my family about this either. They always say that they think "I don't want to have kids" because I am treating these Yorkies like babies are they are filling a void that isn't there :mad: OMG, haha....that P's me off to no end :D I cannot even tell you. I am so SICK of hearing it. It's like well CRAP....i guess I should just get pregnant and have a baby for EVERYONE ELSE in my family :rolleyes: Just sooooooo annoying. And it's usually MY SISTER that says this CRAP all the time :mad: |
My furbabies are my only babies...no skin kids. I was the oldest of 6 children...that was plenty of skin babies to last a lifetime right there!! |

What a touching story, I got teary eyed just thinking of how you must have felt. I'm so glad your baby has brought you so much joy! I have 3 children 17, 11, & 10 all girls, but my furkids are my other 2 children! I love and adore them just like my kids! |

Yes, Ozzie IS my baby! Date is a four-letter word with good reason and I'm in the Yahtzee Years (where you start scratching impossible plays off your list -- close to the point where having kids is my Yahtzee or four of a kind:) ). I don't know if I could love him more if he were a real boy. |
i never had skin children, and not because i didnt want any, but because it just never happened... very sad for me, but god brought me lexi. if it wasnt for her, i probably wouldnt be the way i am today...i knew i had to get something to care for who needed me. i just wasnt all there at the time. i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for lexi girl... she is my life saver and she is my child.. my family never ever had brought up the reason for me not having kids, but other people do and it makes me feel bad, i just tell them, lexi is my child and i dont need anymore |
Somehow I knew at the age of 5 that I would never have children, and it would only be with the element of time that I would know for sure if my feelings were correct, which they were! I also, at around the same age, had seen the little dogs in teacups in magazines, but imagined a small little dog with long hair and topknot with a beautiful bow that would always look like a puppy. I had no idea they really existed till at the age of 30 I happened upon a breeder that raised Yorkies. I did not even know what a Yorkie was, so he went back into his back kennel and took out this 1 lb.fluff ball to show me, a beautiful 1lb. little girl, whom I named "Tiki". I now have my precious Sahara and Dennis and life is complete! So yes, my Yorkies are my kids, and everyone who knows me always asks, " How are the kids?" Could not imagine my life without a Yorki in it. I adore them! |
I am sorry to hear about your situation. I am so happy that your little furbaby has brought you joy and helped you through it! |
I have 2 skin kids, 7 and 13, both girls, me and hubby have struggled with infertility after our first child was born, we have been trying for #3 for 5 years now, we got Madison (furkid) 5 months ago, she has helped us cope so much, she is our baby, and we have spoiled her so much:hearts-xx |

My husband and I just got married last July 31, and we are still young enough to have plenty of time for kids, but right now, neither of us think we want them, and we're perfectly fine spoiling Sukoshi instead! It's weird because I ALWAYS wanted kids (well...a little girl to be exact), but now that I'm married and in a position in my life to have one...I'm just not sure I want them anymore! I just tell everyone in my family to give us at least 5 years to ourselves (and our furbabies, of course - we have cats too), and then we'll reevaluate. At this point though, no matter how much I spend on Sukoshi, it won't be as much as raising a kid for 18 years + college expenses after that! We're happy with the way things are so far. |

Thank you ladies for the replies - keep-em coming :) I am so glad that there are others that feel like I do. I love the description of the little dog with the top knot that always looks like a puppy. Perfect explanation of a yorkie. My fiance and I are looking to buy a townhouse right now and our realtor said something about the two animals I have, like to suggest I get rid of one. I was livid!!! And he says - I wish you would have told me you were getting the dog, I would have advised against it. POW!!! Man, does he not know how wrong that statement is. I would advise against him as my realtor, except he is my fiance's good friend.:mad: Nothing replaces my baby girl Jeanie. I call her my baby. I call myself her mommy, and Mike her Daddy. And that is the way it is. It's beautiful!! :love: |
Oh, yeah....Sadie's definitely my child. No skin kids here. Just Sadie...and trust me, she's as loved and spoiled as any skin child, and not just by me...my parents (her Nana and Papaw) spoil her more than I do!!! |
I got married 2 years ago and I don't have skin kids yet. Don't know when I'm gonna have one, maybe in a year or so. But for now, Bengi is my baby :) |
We have 1 son, when he left for college I told hubby it was time for a inside baby again. We had built a new house & that was his excuse for 10 years!!! Well, once my son left us for school, I just went out to get another yorkie!! We had a Yorkie for the 1st 5 years of our marriage, before our son, & then we had one for 8 years. I was without one for 10 long years- now Jaxon is spoiled rotton!! At Christmas he got a shirt that says "Favorite Child", and my son said that is the truth! LOL, I just tell my skin kid that Jaxon will never grow up and leave me like he is!!! Really, my son adores Jaxon!!! When he comes home the 2 of them hang together. Jaxon knows the sound of my son's diesel truck as it comes down the gravel road and he almost wets himself waiting for him to come in!!! |
I ran out of time im 45, but im really grateful that i have my 4 babies 3 yorkies and a cat i dont regret it at all, i have 12 nieces and nephews and they are having kids, so im never deprived of having kids around,they stay a while and go home, i love my kaycee, abbie nikki and kaylee there human to me.:animal36 |
Child free here tooo im 32 and i still feel im not ready to have a skin child my sis has two if i get the urge i will babysit for her and return them lol. Looks like Rocky :aimeeyork is going to be the spoiled mamas boy ha ha ha |
My husband and I tried to have children, it never happened. It was a long journey until one day, I let it go. It was not meant to happen, I can't make it happen. Winston and Maggie are our children. We could not love them more. They both fill that empty feeling inside. We are so lucky to have found so much joy in our furkids. And yes, people use to ask me all the time, "so when are you going to have a baby???". Don't let them get to you. |

I'm 38 and no skin kids - just my hubby and our fur babies. I think I sort of always knew that I wouldn't have kids, for some reason. I don't think having kids makes your life *finally* complete - but gosh, so many others tell us that. I actually think it's incredibly rude that friends/relatives think it's okay to continually tell you to have kids - like you're a freak for not having them. I find it offensive and intrusive and presumptuous - and arrogant too! Phew, that felt good! We always think that if, someday, we do want to experience being parents - there are so many kids to adopt and that would mean more to us anyway. We've both always known that we will be happy with or without kids. |
No skin kids here, lol. And to those of you who are dealing with the constant questioning of "when are you going to have children?" Give it time. It'll stop about the time you hit 40:D . No one asks us anymore.;) |

I love that! I hate being asked when I CAN'T have kids....and don't want to get into the emotional response. :) |
I have three children, but they are all grown. I LOVE kids and would have liked to have 1-2 more, but my dr. advised against it because of my health problems. I started feeling a little down when my kids starting getting married, moving into their own houses, etc. My son is the only one still at home with us. I have always wanted a yorkie, so I decided now is the best time because I have more time to spend taking care of one. We also have two grandchildren, which I love love love spending time with, but they are an hour away. So, I got Jake and he is like my child. He fills a void that was left when my daughters moved out on their own. He's a wonderful companion for me, and he has brought soooooooooo much joy into our home!! :) |
I'm 24, recently moved out of the parents house and into the "adult world" (hehehe), not married, living in sin (LOL), and not chomping at the bit for kids anytime soon. I love them and will probably have them at some point, but it's not on my list of priorities right now (or my boyfriend's, safe to say!). Even after we marry we probably won't have them for awhile; how would Sadie cope with a skin kid? Sadie is the princess! :) |
No skin babies. I have one fur-baby and I am expecting a girl on June 1st.:D :thumbup: |
