The Little Things: Celebrating Dog Mums This Mother's Day

After Valentines we need to remember to keep celebrating love in all its forms, we're carrying that spirit forward into Mother's Day, but this time, we're shining a light on a very special kind of mum: the dog mum.

Being a dog mum isn't about grand gestures or Instagram perfect moments. It's about the little things. The quiet, everyday acts of love that often go unnoticed but mean absolutely everything.

What Love Really Looks Like

Love isn't always roses and chocolates. Sometimes it's:

• The 6am alarm for a morning walk, even when it's raining
• Carrying treats in every coat pocket, just in case
• Rearranging your schedule so they're never alone too long
• The way you talk to them like they understand every word (because they do)
• Choosing the scenic route home so they get a longer sniff
• That little glance you share when they're curled up beside you

These aren't grand gestures. They're the small, consistent acts of care that build a life together. And if that's not motherhood, we don't know what is.

Dog Mums Deserve Recognition Too

Whether you're a mum to human children, fur babies, or both. Whether you're an aunt, a nan, a step-mum, or simply someone who shows up with love and care Mother's Day is for you.

Because love isn't measured in biology or tradition. It's measured in presence, in patience, in the little things you do every single day.
