**Super_Dogs** Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Don't refer to myself as mum. However I call my girls "baby girl". (my boy gets called big boy not baby boy as he is so much bigger than the girls). I have one of my girls real fur mum.............so I say to her where your mummy. :laugh: Edited February 3, 2012 by buddy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimiss Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I do! Even the people at work refer to the day I got Benny as the day I became a Mum :) And I'm a proud little Mum at that :D My family sent presents from 'Nanny and Poppy' and 'Auntie and Uncle' :laugh: My Sister's JRT is 12 and has always been refered to as the same too haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Outlaw Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Oh yes, we are "Mum" and "Dad", and OH's parents are "Grandma" and "Grandpa". My friend who looks after them when we go away is "Aunty Jan". :D Ziggy calls me "Mum" on his facebook page too. ;) Edited February 3, 2012 by New Age Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamum Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 When I'm talking to the dogs, yes. ie. "Daddy's home!" but to others no :laugh: Yea, that's how it is for us too. Same here. When talking to them I say Mummy or Daddy but I never ever say that in front of anyone other than the OH and if I'm talking about them to someone else I use their names or say "the dogs", I never say they are my kids or use the term furkid.

Marion 01 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Our daughter is married with her own OH and kids, and because her OH is not an animal lover neither are the kids, so we very rarely see them. Our dogs are our "kids" and we always refer to ourselves as "mum or "dad". When the dogs have their baths, I say to them, go and show "dad" how pretty you are. Or if OH calls one of them, I say "dad" wants you, or vise versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podengo Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I say "did your daddy take good care of you?" to Elsie when my partner looks after her and I am out. And partner says "go to mummy" to get her to find me Elsie also goes to stay at "grandma and grandpas" some weekends :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Sometimes. Depends on the crowd I'm hanging with. :) I will more often refer to them as 'kids', than I refer to myself as mum. But my parents are definitely grandma and grandpa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I do. I try to limit it in public though. OH will talk to them like children at home, but he wouldn't dare do it in public. Me, well they already know I'm nuts lol. They don't go visit grandma and grandpa though.. i just can't bring myself to say that.

❤LovesPoodles❤ Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I class them as my babies :) Only 21 so don't want any other kind of babies :laugh: But my OH step mum is Grandma! She loves the babies and buys them birthday and Christmas presents :) She wants her own dog but Grandpa won't let her so she is currently living that want through mine which they very much enjoy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dame Aussie Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yep, we're Mummy and Daddy, "There's your Mummy" Daddy's home!" and the like have them running to the door :) My Mum is Nanna, they know who Nanna is too, if I tell them she is coming over. :D I don't really call them my kids though. They're "the hounds". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Miss Emma Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yep, I'm Mum to my baby girl!! I want to have human kids hopefully and I don't think it will change even then, it's just how it is! I also tell Kenzie that she's going to visit her Grandma and Grandpa!!

Remarkabull Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes, and my parents are nanny and poppy :D . I know they are not really my kids (duh) and I do have skin kids of my own and they are my babies too. It's harmless fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyKay Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Sadly yes, we are Mum and Dad and my husband refers to the 3 of them collectively as "the children" (eg "Good morning children, who is going out with Mum to agility today and who is staying with Dad") but I call them "the girls". We also have Grandma and a few close dog owning friends who are "Auntie". We also have a cat but the same rules don't apply to her for some reason!

Kazhak Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I never really did before, as my Dalmation I got when I was 12 so I was too young in mind & all that to technically be a mum anyway :) not to mention my mum is a pretty serious person & I guess to her that kind of thing is ridiculous (not my opinion just an observation of why I normally wouldn't) but with my Crested I do now, & only because of my boyfriends mum who wwe stayed with in sydney when I went to pick my little ma up, she started calling me his mum & it kinda caught on, I don't think I do it when we are out & about but when I'm at home & do, & yes the rest of the animalss (3 cats & now second dog) all get refered to joking as the fur kids, we don't have real kids yet though so they may be acting as surrogates till that time but I reckon they will still remain as the fur kids :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) No. I have enough children calling me mum already. Yes. I treat them like children to a degree but not exactly the same obviously. I do call puppies my babies but if they called me mum I would Edited February 3, 2012 by Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskedaway Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I will say things to the dogs like "where's dad?" and "come to mum". Pretty sure I don't say it to anyone else though, though someone laughed at me at a show when I said to Halo "look, Dad's coming!" :laugh: OH mum calls them her grand-dogs and says she's their nan, though she'll be nan to our skin-baby when it's born.
