I am a mommy. It might not be to a human, but my heart is filled with love just the same. This little guy has taught me patience, selflessness, and unconditional love. I would do anything for him. When I am not with him it feels as if I forgot something. I stare at him for hours, and I never tire of his cuteness. We cuddle-he lays his head on my chest and falls asleep. He relies on me for so much, and I plan my schedule around him. I stay up with him when he is sick, and it makes me feel ill myself when he is hurting. I take ten thousand photos of him and show them to anyone and everyone. I delight in his happiness and content. I excitedly await the day that I become a mother to a child (and Billy becomes a brother), but for now…this feels just the same. I am grateful for and cherish every moment we are given.
I feel the same way about my furballs Susan. Lovely post and that shot is awesome!
thanks so much Adele…I know you understand ;)
I’m the same with my cat Cali! Nothing wrong with that. Though I think Billy might get upset if/when he is upstaged by someone else!
very sweet! love the photo of your cutie.
Aw, sweet Lindsey…and yes, it will be a tough adjustment for me & him when a baby enters our lives! He is so great with babies and children though…he loves them!
beautifully said…thank you from another yorkie Mom!
I am a mommy to Jessica, my 10 year old cat! It counts!
Just from this, I know how amazing of a mommy you’ll one day be to your child(ren).
Thank you all for your sweet comments!
Aw, this was such a cute post! I know I feel exactly the same about Swarley. If anyone had overheard my delight at feeding the little munchkin watermelon yesterday without seeing who I was talking to they would have thought it was a baby I’m sure =) And I’m always saying to my husband how she “really is” the cutest dog ever, and I don’t just think that because she is mine, which is a total mom thing to do if there ever was one!
I feel exactly the same about my Minnie.
I’m so glad that you found my blog and that now I’m able to find your blog in return! This post is fantastic and I feel the same about my companion animals (it surprised me when others don’t so I get extra happy to find out others DO.. like you)! I wrote something similar a while back about one of my kiddos: http://fourleafcloverblog.com/?p=435 : )
It is heartwarming to know that so many of you relate, thank you. Here’s to our furry children!
awww that’s so sweet :)
What a lovely post! Billy is a very lucky pup to have such loving parents :)
Oh this is not helping me with my doggie lust! My daughter wants a dog so badly, and she’s not going to get a brother or sister so we want to do it, but we’re not sure it won’t cause a major problem when we go back to Canada for a month.
That is a fantastic photo, very original.
Can I just tell you that I absolutely LOVE your posts about Billy! I have a little Yorkie and my heart fills with joy everytime I look at him, so I know just how you feel. Billy is adorable!! :)
Your post brought tears to my eyes – it’s exactly how I feel about my Sammy, who is a morkie (maltese-yorkie cross) and light of my life. He’s taught me so much about love and loyalty. I’d do anything for him! – including incorporate him into my branding (he’s all of my site and blog if you ever wanted to see and introduce Billy to a new cyber-dog friend). x
I’m so glad you relate Mary, thank you…I’m headed over to see Sammy now! ;)
As Billy’s Grammy, I feel so much of what you say and I am lucky to be able to have special times with him.
