8 Reasons I Love To Be A Dog Mom

In This Article:

Some people will not agree with me that I should call myself a mom to my dogs, but that's the crazy thing about life: I'm so happy and my dog is to.

Easy Conversation/Friend Starter

Sarah Mason

Well hello, I just would like to point out you probablyyyy are reading this article because you have a dog, are a fellow dog mom, or at least know someone that crazy loves their dog. To me I love to find connections with people that have a dog or at least share a love of dogs. This way my dog can also be apart of all the fun times I have with my friends.

They Always Give You A Reason To Be Proud

Sarah Mason

My dog is truly like having a child to me. As you can see I even bought him Christmas sweaters and we took pics in front of the Christmas tree. He relies on me for the necessities of a good life just as a child would. So I like to give a little extra and make his life special. This process to me, makes me a dog mom.

Best Pups=Best Buds

Sarah Mason

A dog is the best friend to have. Period. They miss you when you're gone, but aren't mad at you when you get back home. Dogs keep you in a good mood and never cancel plans. My beagle baby is always ready for cuddles or to go crazy and play. For me having a dog is a perfect excuse to take a break from anything stressing me out and enjoy life a little bit more.

Unconditional Love

Sarah Mason

Of course you knew this was going to be here. Its common knowledge that our dogs are the biggest lovers. I am blessed to find a wagging tail and excited howl from my baby every time I come home (even if I've ran outside for 2 minutes). For this dog mom I fell in love with my beagle the moment I laid eyes on him. Even though one dog can be just a short portion of our lives dogs live their entire lives with just us. They give us their entire love and attention for their ENTIRE lives. Think about that.

Perfect Excuse To Lay In Bed All Day

Sarah Mason

For me I always have some project or paper I feel like I should be working on. I have a constant built in feeling that I have to be busy, but my cuddly nap loving dog reminds me of the importance to take mental breaks and just chill every once in a while. My favorite days are when my pup lays with me on the couch and we just watch Disney movies all day.

A Cute Model Always On Hand

Sarah Mason

Now this point isn't what every dog owner needs or takes advantage of but for this dog mom I love taking pics of my growing puppy. He may not be the most patient model but I think he sure is the cutest! Pics during every season are always fun when you can have a dog to take pics and post on instagram of.

Birth Control At Its Finest

Sarah Mason

While dogs are loving and amazing they teach very important life lessons. Puppies have to be taught everything from when and where they can go to the bathroom, what is and is not food, and some dogs have to be taught appropriate behavior. As a dog mom myself I often wonder how I will survive being a human mom on the days my dog is driving me crazy.

If My Cute Puppy Pics Haven't Convinced You Maybe You Just Deserve A Cat.

My roommate's cat is pretty cool so maybe if you're not dog mom material a cat would be better for ya.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
