Hi there. I’m Cooper. I’m a golden retriever, a professional napper, an expert in tail wags, and today, your official tour guide to how dogs celebrate Mother’s Day.
Now, I may not know how to write with a pen or wrap a gift (those things are slippery!), but I do know one thing: my mom—my dog mom—is the best part of my world. And even though I don’t have a calendar hanging above my bed, I know when it’s a special day. Why? Because she treats every day like it’s my day. So this time, I want to make sure she feels just as loved.
Here’s how I plan to celebrate her, pup-style.
1. Wake-Up Call, With Zoomies and a Smile
While most humans might like breakfast in bed, my mom gets something even better: me, doing zoomies across the bed, tongue out, tail wagging like it’s going out of style. I call it “Zoomie Gratitude.” It’s my way of saying, “Happy Mother’s Day, you magical treat-dispensing, belly-scratching human.”
And trust me, nothing says “I love you” like a flying leap onto your chest at 6:42 a.m. (You’re welcome, Mom.)
2. A Thoughtful, Perfect Gift
You know how humans buy flowers and chocolates? Well, I give her what I know she really loves: my favorite toy. The squeaky moose with one eye missing. I drop it gently by her feet and sit proud. It may be a little slobbery, but hey—love is messy.
Sometimes, I bring a stick. Or a shoe. Or that very important half-eaten roll of paper towel I found under the couch. It’s the thought that counts, right?
3. A Walk Worthy of a Queen
We always go for walks. But today’s walk? It’s her walk. That means I pause at every tree, every flower, every breeze—just to soak it all in together. I let her hold the leash a little looser. I don’t pull (well, not too much). And I let her listen to her podcast while I chase imaginary squirrels. We both get what we love.
And when we take our usual route past the dog park, I sit extra nice and look up at her. She always smiles and says, “Want to go say hi?” Yes. Yes, I do.
4. Treat Time, the Crumps’ Way
Now, here comes the best part. After a long walk and a few hundred sniffs, we sit on the porch. I give her The Look. You know the one—soft eyes, head tilt, paw up. And she always gets it right. Out come the Beef Tendersticks. I nibble slowly, savoring every bite, while she scratches behind my ears and whispers, “Good boy.”
It’s our moment. And it tastes like love. Crumps’ Naturals treats are her go-to, and I know they’re made with just the good stuff. No weird fillers. Just natural ingredients and lots of tail-wagging approval.
5. The Ultimate Cuddle Session
Once I’m full and happy, I do what I do best: curl up beside her. Maybe on the couch. Maybe on her lap (yes, I’m 65 pounds, but I’m convinced I fit). She wraps her arms around me like she always does, and I sigh. Deeply. Happily.
In this moment, everything is perfect. Just me and her. My favorite human.
6. Saying “I Love You” Without Words
I can’t say the words “thank you” or “I love you” out loud. But I know how to show her. I rest my chin on her feet when she’s working. I nuzzle her hand when she’s sad. I sit quietly beside her when the world feels loud. And when she’s happy? Oh, I dance. I wiggle. I zoom. I know I make her smile.
Because dogs celebrate Mother’s Day the way we celebrate every day—with loyalty, joy, and a love so big it doesn’t need words.
