It's very important that moms get snuggles, play time and silliness. Just because you are a mom doesn't mean you can't let loose, climb into a fish and have a crazy old time.
Reality is, you should. Life needs to be fun even when you have responsibilities.
I make sure moms know they can play and enjoy and even crawl up next to me in a recliner and watch TV like we usually do.
I can't imagine if a mom was made to not have balance but simply all responsibility what kind of mom would she be?
It's so important for them to love motherhood and the entire experience or they shouldn't be bred, imho.
Moms here get full body massages each day along with their grooming, extra food with yum gourmet food above and beyond the other adults. They can go through a full roasted chicken along with their kibble in a day when feeding so many. What they want, they get and the moms know it and relish this experience.
I do believe a happy and healthy mom makes for pups that are happy as well.
I have to say, this crew is delightfully happy.
