Boxers make great children...

[BXR RYD]

I am so glad I am not the only one:D
I am 35 never been married and have no kids, dont really want any either.
I have my 2 fur-boys and that is just fine with me. If I had just a tad bit bigger of a house I would have a herd of boxers!:D

If I was to have a kid now.....when the kid turns 20 I would be 55 yrs old dealing with a young adult:eek: and that does not sound fun. My mom is 55 NOW and I would be her age with a 20 yr old!?!?! NO WAY MAN

I have a 6 yr old skin kid and a 3 1/2 month old fur baby and I love them both, but I have to say that my skin kid is much easier to take care of!!(now that she is 6 anyway):p

My husband and I have been married 14 years, and we don't ever plan on having kids, just more boxers!! (We have three already-he he!!):D

i am the exact opposite of most of you. i love my furbabies abd treat them as my kids, (we have 2) but i can't wait to have skin kids. my husband and i ahve only been married for a year adn half and plan on waiting another 3 or 4 yrs before we start are skin family - BUT my boxers will forever be considered my kids

I am 35 and have only those two snoring on the couch now as children and could not imagine loving skinkids any more!! My Sasha and Telmar are my life for now and thinking its going to be that way forever!

Well... I'm still in HS, but when I tell people I don't ever want kids, just boxers, they think I'm crazy. I don't see any fulfillment in having skin kids. I say that it's just putting more people into the world where there are so many unwanted children/people. I'm not knocking having kids, but I could do without perfectly well. I don't think I'd have the patience to deal with kids. I can barely babysit 2 of my little cousins:rolleyes:

Wow i'm so glad to hear I'm not alone.
I have absolutely no desire to have, nor maternal instinct for skin kids. Thankfully hubby agrees not to have skinkids as well.
The 3 boxers, and our recently adopted Miniature Pinscher are more than enough children for me.

I don't know about anyone else but I find that I get a lot of negative remarks from people when I say that I don't want kids. I've had a horrible time dealing with people trying to convince me that it will be different "when i have my own" and I'd love them more than anything, and my life won't be fulfilled. These are also the same people that try to tell me that we have too many dogs for the most part. I often feel like telling them they have too many kids, and am tempted to give them lists of reasons dogs are better than skinkids (no disrespect meant for those with skinkids - just expressing frustrations with people who try and impose their opinions on me)

I get a complete sense of fulfillment from having the furbabies. They're all I need!

I never wanted to have kids. Just dogs and horses. I am so independant, I doubt I'll ever get married. I have everything I need- a house out in the country with 1 fenced acre and a barn, two horses, two dogs, and one barn cat. Not saying that's everything I ever dreamed of, if I won the lottery it would be easy to spend that too.

I AGREE

Finally - I topic I am an authority on!!! My husband and I have been married for 17 years and have two boxers, Kozmo and Zorro. We lost our first boxer Gunther, when he was twelve - it was the most difficult thing we have ever gone through. We quickly got Zorro who was two at the time and then added Kozmo who is not 8 months old. I love haviing two kids and never plan on having "skin kids". Our boxers are treated just like children. They sleep with us, eat with us and go everywhere we go. Most people who know us thing we are nuts and that we have completely unhealthy relationships with the dogs, but we love it. Kids are much more work in my opinion. I am so glad to see there are so many others out there like us. Maybe we need to form a support group!

I have to agree. I am the oldest girl in my family, and I am not married. Both of my sisters are married. When the first one had her first baby, my Mom very pointedly asked me when I was going to have one. <sigh>

I think she has pretty much given up on that at this point though. At least she hasnt mentioned it in a long time. But she also now has 5 grandkids thanks to my sisters, so I dont think she is suffering from me not making her a Grandma. :p
