Happy National Dog Mom's Day (May 13): Signs You're a Fur Mama

1. You have like a hundred nicknames for your dog, yet you can’t remember the names of half your co-workers.

2. Cards and gifts you give to others are always from you and the dog.

3. You leave parties early because you “need to get home” to your dog.

4. You think some of your friends’ kids are spoiled, but your dog can never have enough toys and treats from Pet Supplies Plus.

5. There are more pics of your dog on your Instagram/Facebook page than there are of your friends and family.

6. You own a dog mom shirt.

7. Even if you have human offspring, your parents call your dog their grandchild.

8. You celebrate your dog’s birthday/gotcha day with gifts and special bakery treats (like the ones from Pet Supplies Plus).

9. The world stops if your dog isn’t feeling well.

10. Your dog was one of the considerations for where you live right now.

11. People know more about your dog than you.

12. If your dog falls asleep on your lap, well, there goes your day since you’re morally obliged not to move.

13. Buying dog clothes from places like Pet Supplies Plus is a regular thing.

14. Vacation plans include your dog.

15. If your dog doesn’t like someone, you can’t be friends with that person.

16. Checking to see if a store or restaurant allows dogs is like an instant reflex.

17. On top of having daily conversations, you and your dog talk stuff about other people.

18. You feel guilty when you think another dog is cute, but scoff at the idea that your dog isn’t the cutest.

If you gave your pup your last name, welcome to the dog mom and dad club. And don’t forget to celebrate National Dog Mom’s Day with Pet Supplies Plus and, of course, your BFF, i.e., barking friend forever.
