I have been and am a mom to dogs and cats. I have loved them as unconditionally as they have loved me. I nurture them as they nurture me. There is but one drawback to being a dog and cat mom: They are not with me as long as I would wish. However, there are boundless dogs and cats that need a mom. Therefore, I will be a dog and cat mom for as long as I am able. I miss those whom have passed away (Freckles, Fozie, Nutmeg, Claudia, Thunder, Dusty, MnM on the dog side and Coco, Shadow, Portnoy on the cat side) and treasure those that are currently with me (Patch, Mona, Harry, & Wheatie...the dogs, and Bowie...the cat).
My hope would be that every dog & cat would have a human mom to care for them. After all, that truly is humankind's responsibility.
Very true! We plan to do the same.
