Dog moms, we know that you probably treat your pup as if they're your own kid. But there's no judgment here. In fact, you have the support of our very own Ree Drummond! The Pioneer Woman currently lives with her own crew of pups, aka the most adorable helpers on the ranch! And even her daughter Alex has become a dog mom, too. (Just look at those sweet photos of George!) So the Drummonds will be the first to tell you that the bond between you and your dog(s) simply goes unmatched. There's no other feeling like it, but it can be hard to put it into words. So, we made a list of our favorite quotes that'll resonate with dog moms everywhere!

Here, you'll find dog mom quotes that speak to the sort of devotion, patience, and sheer love that comes with caring for a pup—the kind of quotes that will make you want to run to the treat jar. A few of these dog quotes are funny, some are sentimental, and several are just plain joyful (happy quotes for the win!). But all will have you feeling warm and fuzzy about the canines in your life—whether your home is full of small dog breeds, medium-sized dogs, or Walter-sized dogs. Er, we mean...large dog breeds. (No offense, Walter.) After all, as Caroline Knapp says, "Before you get a dog, you can't quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can't imagine living any other way."
