Mother's Day 2013 was the very first time that I felt like I could truly share in this holiday! Did I recently pop out a kid, unbeknownst to anyone? No. I am a dog mom, and I am proud of my baby boy. Sure, my boy might be incredibly furry with a big tail, but I have mothered the heck out of that guy for the past year, and I am rather pleased with myself. Jeff thinks it is ludicrous that I cover Milt's ears when Jeff refers to him as a "dog," but he truly is my real live boy.
Jeff and I both have gone through potty training, emergency doctor visits, and 3A.M. wake-up cries. We buy Milton food, toys, and toothpaste. Our social life and fitness level have suffered as I rush out of school each day either to beat the traffic to grab Milt from daycare or to run home to free him after a long day cooped up. Life is certainly different now that I am a dog mom. Personally, I think I deserve to celebrate this holiday too. If being a "mom" is in any way measured by the amount of love that is given to someone you care for, then I know an awful lot of dog "owners" who fully deserve the title of mom as well.

Whether you are a mother to a child or a dog, I hope you enjoyed your holiday and sincerely felt loved and appreciated. By the way, Happy Mother's Day once again, Mom and Momeaux! Jeff, Milt, and I are lucky to have such greats moms in our lives.
Did you get your hair cut Heidi! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a new short haircut for summer, but I find it even harder to maintain... bummer!
DeleteSo funny you said that - I have long hair and have thought of going shorter but don't want to have to style it. Guess it's staying long and in a ponytail.
DeleteI noticed the hair first thing, too! Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!!!
Thanks, Goob. Happy Mother's Day to you and Stanlee too!
