In honor of Mother’s Day, we wanted to celebrate the countless mothers we have paired with their dog and cat children here at the Pixie Project. Congratulations! For those of you thinking about adoption, here's a top ten list for you to consider this Mother’s Day.

The Top Ten Reasons Why Pet Motherhood Is Better Than Regular Motherhood:

1. You will never have to deal with awkward and embarrassing tantrums. In line at the grocery store.

2. Even ugly dogs are cute. Think Pugs.

3. No one looks at you like you're crazy if your dog is on a leash.

4. Pets don’t require strollers, cribs and car seats. Cha-Ching.

5. You will never be tempted to snack on your pet's food. Hopefully.

6. You will never have to explain why the sky is blue. Hopefully.

7. Your fridge will live a life free of glitter-covered popsicle stick picture frames.

8. You don’t have to worry about your pet watching too much TV.

9. No teenage rebellion. Your pet will never been embarrassed to be seen with you and will never ask to borrow your car.

10. No college tuition. Double-Cha-Ching.

All joking aside, we hope that this Mother’s Day finds both our pet mothers and real mothers with warm spirits and loving reciprocity. For anyone considering the joys of pet motherhood, we encourage you to come into the store and talk to our devoted animal adoption team about starting your own little family or fostering some wonderful furry kiddos. Thank you for your support and have a happy Mother’s Day!
