Before I was a dog Mom:
I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got to bed
or if I could get into my bed.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I cleaned my house every day.
I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies
Or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags,
toilet paper, soap or deodorant
were poisonous or dangerous.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I had never been peed on
Pooped on
Drooled on
Chewed on
Or pinched by puppy teeth.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I had complete control of
My thoughts,
My body and mind.
I slept all night without sharing
the covers or pillow.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged
could affect my heart so deeply.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping puppy
just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside
to feed a hungry puppy.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important.

Before I was a dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being
A dog Mom

yorkieusa · 07-08-2008, 01:02 PM

Thank you. That's a new one to me, but every single word applies to me. It's so very, very true.

While Muffin wasn't my first little doggie, she was my first yorkie. I woke up the first morning with her wrapped around the top of my head on my pillow. It was so touching.

I sat up with Muffin all night one night when she was very sick and I wouldn't have considered not doing it.

Every morning in the warm weather I wake up with Kacee wrapping her paws around my head trying to wake me up so she can go for her early morning walk.

Thank you that was beautiful

pea496 · 07-08-2008, 01:19 PM

So true!!! I am printing to put in my office and I will frame one for my house with Conner's pictures on it.

Thanks.

LittlePaws · 07-08-2008, 02:40 PM

It is the dog toys I trip on, and a furry little yorkie who gets under my pillows and leaves me with NONE. I just dont have the heart to make her come out of that nice warm spot. I end up with my head flat while she snoozes under them. I then have a furbaby at my stomach and a furbaby at my feet. All while the human children sleep on their own down the hall. How funny when you really think about that

Well, that was so cute!! I never thought I would feel this way about my Buster.....he is my life now!! Thank you for posting it.

paulapoo · 07-08-2008, 04:16 PM

I feel very sorry for people who don't feel the way we do about dogs. They are such a blessing. Every word of that is very true.
