Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all foster moms, and to those who are considering fostering a pet. Foster pet motherhood, like human motherhood, is not without bloopers, blunders, and headaches.

Waking up to a howling pup in her crate is not unlike waking up to a newborn baby's cry.

Housebreaking a puppy is similar to pulling diaper duty.

Breaking a pet's bad habits ( nibbling, etc.) reminds me of teaching important lessons to a human child.

Like the experience of mothering our children, foster pet parenting rewards outweigh the annoyances tenfold.

Happy Mother's Day, foster moms. Thank you for providing your motherhood skills to the animal community.
