We’ve known couples who, while trying to figure out if they are ready to have a family, will adopt a dog first. They feel if they can take care of a dog then maybe they are ready for children! Often, they do better with one than the other, but it always amuses us to observe that “baby step’ in life together.

However, more and more couples and even single adults have opted not to have children and have decided to stay with their pooch! We do not necessarily believe this is a bad thing. Not only is a dog less expensive but a pup will never go through teen angst and not to mention will be your friend forever!

Having said this, we would never discourage children because they often become your dog’s best friend! It is quite a conundrum. To read more on this controversial subject visit page two!

    100% After raising my son and he was on his own. Instead of having another human child we have three fur kids – 2 pugs and a Boston Terrier. They act just like human children. Never a dull moment.

    Having fur babies and/or human babies shouldn’t be done as a trend!!!! That’s dumb. Different families look different. Some have people kids, some have “pets”, some have “furry kids” or any combination of them…. Or none… But I think it’s silly to consider family structure as a trend…. Never was. Never will be.

    Fur babies are so much better than having human kids. Fur babies are a hell of a lot cheaper. You only have to take them to the vet once a year at the least. You don’t have to buy clothes or shoes, pay a sitter, or send to school.
