For 4 legged Mother's
This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick dogs in their arms, wiping up barf laced with edible and inedible things and saying "It's okay baby, Mommy's here." Who have sat on the floor for hours on end soothing dogs who can't be comforted. This is for all the mothers who show up at work with dog hair on their clothes, unexpected scratches on their wrists and poo bags in their purse, coat pocket, pants pocket and all other pockets. For all the mothers who make their own dog food and treats. And all the mothers who don't. This for the mothers who help the new mothers deal with the loss of their litter. And the mothers who help them cope when they are given new homes. This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections consist of ribbons and photos. This is for all the mothers who go to the special pet stores to collect the proper treats, food and toys no matter that it take 3 stops and 50 stoplights. This is for all the mothers who teach their dogs agility and obedience and actually understand that it needs to be FUN! For all the mothers whose dog has gone missing and was returned because she had the forethought to have chip put between its shoulders. What makes a good Mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Ever available treats? The ability to answer the door, hold back the dog and deal with a phone call all at the same time? Or is it in her heart? Is it the ache you feel when you walk out the door to your job every Monday through Friday knowing that 2 eyes are boring into your back? The jolt that takes you from sleep to dread when you hear the sounds of heaving at 2:00am? Years later, the guilt that won't away when you have no other choice but to put your friend down? The emotions of motherhood are universal, and so this is for you all. For all of us... Hang in there. In the end we can only do the best we can. Tell them everyday that we love them. |

| Thanks Stephanie! That's cute!!! Fortunately, I got to spend my Mother's Day with my two-legged and four-legged family members. It was a GREAT day!! |
| Thanks -- I was laughing at some of them especially pulling the poop bag out -- I think I have them in everything with pockets. I cried at the line about having to put a friend down -- I have gone down that road with 2 sheepies and still cry when I think about it. |
The one that got me was the jolt at 2am when you hear the sounds of heaving........ Sooo true........  |
| I love it.
Whenever I see or call people who may not know my name but know me from something dog related I always start by identifying myself as "Harry's mom". |
That is sooo true...... |
I laughed and cried (at work) at the same time - the two eyes looking at me every morning is something I hate doing, but I tell them both I love them, not to get into trouble and that I wll see them later for lovely long walkies - thank you for this  |
| This is nice, Stephanie. Thank you for sharing. I read this as my two babies sleep soundly at my feet. |
