Why Young Boiseans Are Having Fur Babies

Younger generations in the Treasure Valley are putting off or choosing not to have kids, and let’s be honest: They have plenty of reasons to wait. In the latest edition of our Dog Days of Boise series, dog moms Frankie Barnhill and Rosie Piper are with host Emma Arnold. They chat about why millennials and Gen Z are perfectly happy raising fur babies instead of human ones. Plus, they share why being a DINKWAD is where it’s at. Are you waiting or choosing to not have human children, and instead raising fur babies? Let us know by sending us a voicemail or text: 208-546-9485. Want some more Boise voices?
