Before I Was a Dog Mom - Happy Mother's Day
Before I Was a Dog Mom
(author unknown)
(author unknown)
I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfired 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 never had 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 the 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

Follow-up Friday: Rosie's Spay, Dog Treats, Giveaways
This week has flown by. I'm weather obsessed (always) and, perhaps, never more so than this spring. Our weather has been seriously crazy for this area of the country. Pity the folks who already had their tomato plants set out in their gardens when it sleeted and snowed for 2 days straight. In May! While I shook my head and grumbled about the damage to blooming flora, the dogs just were wishing the white stuff would accumulate enough to make snow angels.
Rosie had a trip to the vet to remove her stitches from her spay surgery. She did terrific throughout the experience. No cone for her. It was her nursemaid, Jeffie, we had to watch in terms of licking.
I've been thinking lately that I should be buying lottery tickets because I've been so lucky! First we won a box of The Honest Kitchen Smooches dog treats from Roxy and Torrey at Roxy the Traveling Dog.
We heard from Kate at SlimDoggy that we were one of the FitDog Friday giveaway winners of a coveted SlimDoggy scoop! I should note, that given how Rosie loves to eat, I suspect that soon we'll need to be joining the FitDog Friday blog hop!
And we won 2 adorable Cesar Millan dog toys from Bren Lee and Titan at Pibbles and Me!

Good Dog Take Outs - New Flavors Review and Giveaway
We've heard from several of the winners of our Good Dog Take Outs giveaway and these yummy, all natural dog treats got paws up!
Yesterday Sharon sent these cute photos of Schooner and Skipper. She says they loved their Carob Cherry and Chili cheese Crinkle treats. In fact, Sharon writes: Schooner is still barking, wanting more as I am writing this email.
All About Jeffie Quiz
Ann at Pawsitively Pets was the winner of a pair of my hand crafted dog lover earrings in the random drawing for this contest. She'd already emailed me to let me know she received them and really likes them. Then yesterday she made my day with this glowing For Love of a Dog review with some wonderful photos! Wow! Thank you, Ann. And I think you rock those earrings!
This weekend, among other things, I'll be writing a review of a new dog book, It's Just A Dog by Russ Ryan, finishing a custom jewelry order for another book author, Jaimi Wolotsky - this one a book about rescue dogs. And, hopefully, the sun will come out and there will be some Jolly ball. Lots of Jolly ball!
Thank You Sampson and Delilah
The real highlight was the day Jeffie (aka The Mailman) went up to the road to the mailbox and found a package addressed to himself.
He'd received a birthday surprise from Sampson and Delilah! There was an adorable Pointer dog themed birthday card with this message:
Inside were amazing goodies!
Jeffie spent a lot of time giving them a good sniff over!
Rudy honed in immediately on the Omaha Steaks dog treats!
Jeffie really liked the gecko dog toy.
I think he was trying to sniff out if that was Delilah or Sampson's smell.
Rosie's eyes were wide as saucers
when she got her first taste of those steak treats!
In fact, all three dogs loved them.
Once we opened that package, nobody cared about anything else.
Jeffie, always a good brother, let Rosie check out the gecko.She loved the double squeakers!
Thank you so much, Sampson, Delilah, and Jodie at Heart Like a Dog for the barking good surprise!
