They&#8217;re family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If furry friends tug at your heart, you\u2019re not alone. Two-thirds of Americans own at least one pet, and nearly half own a dog. Millennials top the charts with 61% dog ownership versus 37% of \u201cBoomers,\u201d according to recent Ameritrade research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women who personify pets may wonder, \u201dDoes my dog think I\u2019m his mom?\u201d However, most dog moms keep a more balanced perspective. Responsible pet ownership discussions are common among couples who plan to&nbsp;start a family&nbsp;one day, as well as those currently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/pregnancy-tips-preparing-your-body-for-conception\/\">trying to get pregnant<\/a>&nbsp;or are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/babies-on-a-budget-family-budget-planning\/\">budgeting for a baby<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many benefits of having a dog while pregnant. During life\u2019s transitions, women enjoy dogs\u2019 comforting presence, playful antics, heart-healthy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/rest-in-the-bible\/\">stress relief<\/a>, and motivation to go for w-a-l-k-s. Dogs can even prepare you for the joys, challenges, and demands of children while teaching kids about responsibility and unconditional love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, many moms prefer to ease into pregnancy challenges before pet training or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/introducing-dogs-and-cats-to-baby\/\">introducing pets to a new baby<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re thinking about expanding your family or looking to start with a furry friend to dote on, you can begin your \u201cdog mom\u201d journey by appreciating the value of God\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proud dog moms value God\u2019s creatures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201d<em>But ask the animals, and they will teach you&#8221;<\/em> [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Job%2012.7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Job 12:7, NIV<\/a>].<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Although our pets aren\u2019t children, animals are created and appreciated by their Creator, who saw that they were good [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Gen%201.24-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genesis 1:24-25<\/a>]. Dogs teach us how to love, serve, and trust. Most overlook flaws, aim to please, and appreciate their pack. Dogs model humility, loyalty, spontaneity, and heart. They teach us patience as they learn why they can\u2019t chase cars or chew on shoes, furniture, or unattended sandwiches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mom and dog: important questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To explore life as a dog mom, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Can you afford a dog?<\/strong>&nbsp;Costs range from pet food and grooming to veterinarian expenses. Dogs need basics like leashes, collars, and crates. In addition to upfront costs, some experts say it costs over $2,000 yearly to keep a healthy, happy pet. Other expenses may include emergency care. Budgeting is key.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Does it suit your schedule and lifestyle?<\/strong>&nbsp;Dogs require time, training, exercise, pet care, pet sitters, potty breaks, play, and TLC. Some demand more activity and attention, whereas others are content to hang around the house. Research your ideal dog\u2019s size, temperament, and traits.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Where will you live?<\/strong>&nbsp;It\u2019s not easy to find pet-friendly rentals or places that accept larger dogs. If you adopt, rescue organizations may require a fenced yard. If you live in a tall building, Fido can\u2019t use a pet door when nature calls. Do you need an apartment-friendly miniature dachshund or a big dog who\u2019ll go running with you?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do you travel a lot?<\/strong>&nbsp;Will your pup need doggy daycare? Can family or friends pet sit? Finding pet-friendly lodging and transportation complicates plans and budgets.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Will you have children sooner or later?<\/strong>&nbsp;If you hope to start a family, choose child-friendly breeds that will fit your lifestyle. Make sure you research to learn more about specific dogs and how they might interact with your little ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-offwhite-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-source-serif-font-family has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWithout my dog, my wallet would be full, my house would be clean, but my heart would be empty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dog Mom quotes and insights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dog Moms and other fans shed light on the blessings we get from some of God\u2019s most affectionate creatures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>\u201cIf I had a dollar for every time my dog made me smile, I\u2019d be a millionaire.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing how much love and laughter pets bring into our lives and how much closer we become with each other because of them.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 John Grogan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>\u201cBlessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Sidney Jeanne Seward<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>\u201cDogs like that, I guess they know how to fix you without saying a word.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Caroline George<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>\u201cThe friendship of a dog is precious.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Dwight D.
