🤍 Nobody talks about this.

How being a Dog Mom slowly changes you.

One day, you realize your camera roll is mostly dogs.

You stop making plans without thinking about them first.

Good days get better when they get to come with you.

Bad days get easier because they’re waiting for you.

And somewhere along the way…

they stop being part of your life.

They become your whole heart. ❤️🐾

💫This one’s for the Dog Moms whose love doesn’t have a name.

The ones who plan their days around little paws.

Who check the camera when they’re not home.

Who know every sigh, every habit, every favorite spot on the couch.

The ones who worry more than they’d ever admit.

Who have thousands of photos and still take one more.

Who know these dogs aren’t “just dogs.”

You’re not alone.

There are so many of us loving this hard, worrying this much, and building our lives around little paws.

And we still wouldn’t change a thing.

If this is your kind of love, follow along.

You just found your people. 🤍🐾 by @light_up_pups

I’m 44 with a Labradoodle and a Yorkie Pomeranian. I didn’t build a life around school pickups or daycare schedules. I built mine around dogs who feel like and are family.

It’s not a life everyone would choose, but it’s one I chose intentionally.

Late night potty breaks.
Birthday cakes for dogs.
Glow walks.
Road trips planned around pet friendly stops.
A camera roll full of paws and the happiest faces.

And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

I know there are other women like me, and if this somehow found its way into your algorithm, you belong here too.

This account is for the women in between.

The dog moms.

The women building beautiful lives around four legged love. 🤍 by @light_up_pups

The glasses San Diego dog moms keep asking me about.. 👓🐾

I have three pairs from @SauntEyewear, and they’re my absolute favorites! They’re so very lightweight, have the prettiest matte finish, and are designed and made right here in San Diego. I love that the frames are made from plants too. 🌱 

And the best part of this walk? Getting to hang out with the best Doberman ever, @missripdobie 🐶

Thanks, Tom! by @light_up_pups

☔️San Diego Dog Moms… does your dog also refuse to pee when it rains?!?

Rain jacket: on.
Door: open.
Harrison: absolutely not.

He’s looking outside, like I was the one that personally arranged this weather. Please tell me he’s not the only one who thinks a little rain is a full blown emergency. Ha.

San Diego Dog Moms, 
what’s your rainy day potty strategy? We need more. by @light_up_pups
