Happy Mothers Day to all the moms of Pet Talk - people who are moms to furred, feather, scaled, and slinky as well as skin-kids!

My own mom is probably either arguing with Saint Paul over his opinions about women, or handing out hugs and biscuits to pets at the Rainbow Bridge, or hosting a big party - or all three at once, most likely - up in heaven. But I am sure she will be smiling down at all her "kids" - the ones she gave birth to, and the ones she didn't, but who called her "Ma" nonetheless - tomorrow.

Hugs to everyone who is a mom or had a mom!
