Today, instead of going shopping like she'd planned, she came home to my very sick dog (reminder: Mo stays with my parents during the day due to her separation anxiety) and took care of her.
Poor Molly had done many icky things in her kennel, because something seems to have made her a sicky-tummy puppy. And because she was in her little kennel, she was covered in it. So she cleaned up Molly, cleaned out the kennel--almost done--and then Molly managed to throw up four more times. A lot. A lot lot.
My mom called me at work because she was a little panicked. I was stuck in meetings, so there wasn't much I could do. When I got home to pick her up, I found my little Molly Sunshine acting totally normally, wagging her tail and looking for affection.
My mom said, "I was so worried about her, if she had a blockage or something, if something happened to her, I know you'd be so bereft."
I would, but I would know that Mo was with my mom, who ROCKS. Who, above and beyond anything else, cares for people (and our sweet dog) so very selflessly. Who isn't worrying about how gross dog vomit is (well, maybe a little), but whether Molly is OK and whether I'll be OK if she isn't.
I don't think it's ever been any secret that I think my mom is AWESOME, but I just feel so very grateful for her and so thankful that she is the person she is.
Thanks, Mommy. You rock.
And that is all.

Aw that is so sweet. Moms are the best!
yay for your mom! so sweet.
oh man, that sounds EXACTLY like my mom! She always brings Rocco up to VT with her (and sometimes I let her bring lil lexie) but she's one of the only ones I'd trust my babies with :)
