I understand that there would be differences in having a human child, but I think that it is good to nurture animals too. Love is the most important flower you'll grow in your life's garden. <br />-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.netRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140345872249267901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-51929751443716707542017-02-05T23:12:42.764-06:002017-02-05T23:12:42.764-06:00My dogs are definitely my babies ❤ I do not want h...My dogs are definitely my babies ❤ I do not want human children. I know if I did happen to have one that I would love that kid to death, but it is just something I would purposefully choose for myself. Dogs are my passion. I enjoy taking care of them and raising them. I enjoy making their meals and taking Echo to agility class and playing with them. However, I do realize that our relationship is that of a human-canine companionship and different from that of parents and children. Does that make it less significant or less meaningful? Definitely not. My dogs are my world and I wouldn't want it any other way! With that being said, I do call myself a dog mom.

I have 5 human kids and three dogs. If my dogs could talk, I would expect them to call me Beth, but I wouldn't be surprised if they chose to call me Mom.

I will always love every single one of them, paw prints on my heart forever. No one's ever challenged me considering my pets to be my furbabies, and if they did it wouldn't be pretty - for them! Pets are family, and pet pets are my fur kids. I did not have any human kids, but even if I did I'd still consider my dogs my furbabies.<br />Love & Biscuits,<br />Dogs Luv Us and We Luv ThemDogs Luv Us and We Luv Themhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638529120659322412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-22277836401967811632017-02-04T14:25:04.341-06:002017-02-04T14:25:04.341-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Themhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638529120659322412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-44097891942931352012017-02-04T13:44:01.851-06:002017-02-04T13:44:01.851-06:00I am absolutely a dog mom - and a human mom.

We did one like this last year, I refer to myself as a dog mom and they are my furbabies.<br />Some people definitely role their eyes but as far as i'm concerned they are my kiddos. We take really good care of them and make sure to meet their different needs as best we can, and teach them how to be the best they can be! So people can roll their eyes all they want, I don't care. :-)Dz Dog Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009070542545035600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-10767920610217687322017-02-04T11:46:51.156-06:002017-02-04T11:46:51.156-06:00We don't have a dog Mom or Dad now, but we use...We don't have a dog Mom or Dad now, but we used to when there were two sweet dogs living here.

No one (yet) has given me any grief and if they know me and how I love my pets, they won't! ;-) I refer to my Siberian Huskies as "the kids!" I do have a grown daughter and my first grandchild, and am crazy about them and my Huskies love the baby! Dogs and animals have always been in my family and as a child growing up.
