10 Things Only a True Dog Mom Would Understand

Being a dog mom is a special kind of love. It’s a messy, wonderful, and hilarious journey that only other dog owners can truly appreciate. From the never-ending shedding to the constant conversations with your furry best friend, here are 10 things that only a true dog mom would understand.

1. Your phone's camera roll is 90% pictures of your dog. You have thousands of photos of your dog sleeping in funny positions, playing at the park, or just looking cute. But you can't bring yourself to delete any of them.

2. The sound of their paws on the floor is the best part of your day. That little pitter-patter sound is your favorite song. It means they're coming to say hello, ask for a treat, or just follow you into the next room.

3. You've perfected the art of talking in a "baby voice" to your dog. When you get home, the first thing you do is greet your dog in a high-pitched, affectionate voice. Your human friends would be embarrassed, but your dog loves it.

4. Their birthday is a major holiday. Your dog's birthday is a bigger deal than your own. There will be treats, a new toy, and maybe even a small party. You wouldn't have it any other way.

5. You have a designated "dog blanket" on your couch. It's not your couch anymore; it's your dog's couch. The blanket is there to protect it from all the fur, and you've accepted that.

6. Getting dog hair on your clothes is just a part of life. You've stopped trying to fight it. Dog hair is your new favorite accessory, and it's a constant reminder of your furry friend.

7. You've cancelled plans to stay home with your dog. "Sorry, I can't come. My dog looked too cute, and I don't want to leave him alone." Your friends understand.

8. You know their exact bark, tail wag, and sniff for every mood. You can tell the difference between their "I need to go outside" bark and their "I want a treat" bark. You are an expert at reading their every move.

9. You've considered buying a bigger bed... for them. They take up so much space, but you love having them there. You've thought about getting a bigger bed just so everyone can be comfortable.

10. You proudly wear your love for them on your sleeve (or your shirt). You love being a dog mom, and you're not afraid to show it. A fun t-shirt that celebrates your furry best friend is a must-have for your wardrobe!
