RubyStar Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think if the day comes that I have human children, I'll still be mum to my dogs. I normally refer to them more often as my "babies" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiesha09 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I even take it one step further and refer to my parents as their "Nanny and Gramps". When I'm home and about to visit them, I will tell them we're going to Nanny and Gramps' now! Yep I call my parents the dogs 'Mardi' and 'Pa' but it's because my mum started it They have grandkids from my older brother and my 'fur kids' get thrown in the same boat - they're all grandkids to mum and dad :D Goes without saying I call them my kids... every day I get home I say 'hi kids' and ask them if they love their mumma :laugh: PS. My mum even buys my dad and I birthday and Christmas cards from the dogs. They're ususally cards with similar looking dogs on the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nope - I don't see them as replacement children/my kids. I do tease my Dad though and call him their Grampa. He actually gave them $20 each last Christmas too! Your dad sounds gorgeous with a great sense humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmolo Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I do regularly when speaking to the dogs or about the dogs to my husband but not really when referencing them to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I refer to my dogs as my bubbas. I don't feel the need for children (yet) and I'm of the belief that I invest as much time in them as I would a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubitty Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 YES!!!!! I refer to them as my kids, children, babies etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes definately.I don't have children so my dogs are my babies.Although I am a single mum they have many Aunty's and Uncle's much to the horror of some unwilling Aunty's and Uncle's :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziwong66 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Wilbur is my bubba and i'm his mumma; crazy as accused :laugh: . I have 5 children of varying degrees of furriness (two of my boys are now departed): my first a GS boy Keiran, my second miss22, my third miss19, my fourth a yellow lab Casper and my fifth, Wilbur a choc lab. Wilbur is oft told to 'go to dad' or 'go to sissy' :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I call them 'the kids' and my OH and I called each other mum and dad when talking to the dogs. Dante's breeder calls herself Granny and our close doggie friends are always aunty and uncle :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussielover Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I don't refer to my own dog as my child or myself as her mum but I do refer to other people's dogs as being their kids and say stuff like "there's your mum" etc at work which is a bit hypocritical I guess. I also call my dog my "baby" when talking to her eg. Hi baby girl, whose a good baby girl etc But I don't refer to her as my baby if talking about her to others if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmisssascha83 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yep guilty of this too LOL. I'm their mum and they are my baby girls LOL. And hey I take the dog to school, I buy her snacks, and great food, she's exercised every day, we do training sessions and I swear I ask them( I have a dog and a cat) if they love there mum everyday. :rofl: I don't have human kids and my pets are so spoilt anyone would think they were a human kid the amount of money I spend of them but they are worth it.

Teebs Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 nope, the only time i refer to them as being related is when i want to piss mum off and tell them to go and say hello to Nanny, she hates it (and i would hate it if she started calling me their mum!)

dotdashdot Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I do :) She's our "baby", my mum would rather me wait a few more years til having my own children anyway (20yrs old) so she's quite happy to call Cleo my baby as well! I just get confused when Im at mum and dad's house, I obviously call them Mum and Dad, and I don't want to call them Nanny and Poppy to my dog (they have real grandchildren and Cleo wouldn't know the word anyway). So I just get lost if I'm telling Cleo to go to my parents, as I don't use their first names =] Doesn't matter really, she only sees them once a week.
