A Mother For A Corgi... Or Two... Or Three {52 Snapshots of Life Week 20}

5/15/2015

mother moth·er ˈməT͟Hər/ verb
1. bring up with care and affection.
2. give birth to.

Typist: Bethany
Mother is a fascinating word. It was not one that was difficult to photograph but the idea of it made for deep contemplation. Cardigan welsh corgi Brychwyn is an excellent example of all that "mother" can do. I often tell Brychwyn how lucky he is to have so many mothers. He has Gabbi, the beautiful blue merle corgi who gave birth to him. Gabbi lives with Carolyn who was present when Brychwyn was born and gave him the best life a corgi puppy could have until he was ready to come and live with Leo, Wilhelm, Amelia, Gryphon, Jason and I. By definition, Carolyn is definitely a mother to Brychwyn. Then there is me. Brychwyn is an adult dog now. He has found his place in our family and is (almost always) confidently winding his way through the world. I am honored to be a part of the care and affection it took to make him the amazing corgi that he is today. Yet as I reflect on the definition of "mother" I wonder, who has mothered who? Furthermore, I see that Brychwyn has had even more mothers than the three obvious ones previously mentioned. What about our obedience instructor? Or our agility, Treibball, rally and freestyle instructors? Brychwyn's SAMP has certainly been a huge part of his up bringing. So has his veterinarian. And those are just the females who have shown him incredible care and affection. Wow. Brychwyn is one very, very lucky dog. I think he has a proud mother or two to show for it as well.

Who has been a mother to your dog or who has mothered you?

Very good point. Mom is our mom, but we all have our biological dog moms, and we often take care of our mom making us mom like. Great thought provoking post.

Aww what a lucky dog- so much love and support. I love the proud mommy photo- just beautiful! I mother little Kilo for sure. My human kids say I am more clucky over him than I was over them but I think they just don't remember. Sadly we are not sure about his dog Mom or Dad and he went through 4 homes before us in only 2 years so he is gradually learning structure, manners and security. XS

What great thoughts on mothers, and wonderful photos too. Our crew has two special women in their lives...we call them their "aunties" but my sister and my best friend both come to care for them when we go away, so they are definitely really mothers to them when I'm not here.

Love the pics and got me thinking about the mothers in my pups' lives. There are more than I realized! Thanks for sharing.
