And to all the fur babies' mommas out there, cheers to you for mothering and potty training fur babies that never wore diapers and who will never speak a lick of human language. It's not exactly the same, but I've heard from mothers that it's pretty similar. Happy Mother's Day to you, too! 💗 Yoncé, it's such a joy and a gift being your mommy! 🐶

Insert Tupac's #DearMama and Boyz II Men's #ASongForMama here. There's no greater love and sacrifice than that of a mother, and this woman has always and continually gives all four of us all of hers. Love you, Momma! #HappyMothersDay! 💗💗💗💐💐💐
