Dogs facilitate positive interactions with other people.
While on my own healing journey, I personally experienced how powerful these positive interactions were for my own healthy recovery and overall well-being. At a time when I felt “alone” and not understood, Waffles changed all of that. While with Waffles, every interaction we had (and continue to have) together with other people was (and remains) positive and joyful, and she became my connection back to community.
In time, I learned how impactful building a positive community could be for others. She inspired me to build a community of women who love their dogs like family–a safe and supportive place for other women coping with pain to share their stories, a place where they were heard, understood and welcomed.
The women in the Puppy Mama community understand how special the dog-parent bond is, and how a furry best friend can brighten your home and community. They share amazing stories, post beautiful pictures of their adorable pups, and connect with each other in person and over social media. For many women, sharing their experiences online has led to friendships with other dog moms offline.
Dogs help their moms in so many ways. Women share that they are happier and more fulfilled with their pups in their lives. Many have expressed that their pups fill voids in their hearts that they did not even know were there in the first place. Their pups get them out to exercise and to meet and connect with new people, and help them to focus on the present. Even during bad days, pups help women to forget their troubles with their playful antics: from showering them with kisses to looking like they found heaven in an exciting new stick. Coming home to a furry best friend is never lonely, with a ball of fluff running at you with so much love and excitement because you finally made it back home to them.
At a time when social media has been used to foster negativity and divisiveness – our loving and compassionate community has proven that it doesn’t have to be. This medium can be used to spread joy and build positive interactions with other people.
And that’s why I love the Puppy Mama community; our members spread joy and acceptance to one another; and the way they interact with one another is absolutely beautiful.
