We Love Our Mommies!

Hello Mommies! It's Mother's Day this week, so we want to say thanks so much for all you do. The hard work of both human moms and doggy moms is so appreciated! Raising children and raising pups both require a lot of care and energy, so we hope you know that us kids and pups are grateful!

This week we also want to think of the dogs out there who are abused by being forced to be "breeding dogs" at puppy mills. To help out abused Mommy Dogs, make sure you avoid supporting puppy mills by doing your research and considering animal rescue first. Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Poor Mom has a fitting name because she had a rough life, with many litters of puppies taken from her as she was left to fend for herself. Now she is a happy lady with her own mom to take care of her! – Mom submitted by Jennifer
