Hey Woofa’s,

Happy Dog Mother’s Day to all the Dog Mumma’s out there!  We count too!

I wasn’t feeling the best the other day so I had a day off (my body telling me I was run down).   Mind you I still planned on doing things but my body had other ideas.  I ended up laying on the lounge binge watching TV shows I’d recorded.

Why am I telling you this?  Because Billy laid with me ALL day, he’d look at me as if to ask if I was okay, then put his head back down on me.  It was like he thought by laying on me he could make me better.

And he did, feeling the love of your dog is amazing, it’s unconditional true and pure love.

Being a mother to a four legged baby is still a job of love and labour!
