Mother’s Day, Newly Sprung Lilacs and Dog Vomit

What, you might ask, does dog vomit have to do with Mother’s Day? Newly sprung lilacs–OK, that fits, flowers being a hallmark of the Mother’s Day holiday. But dog puke?

Just a memorable moment from my Mother’s Day in 2008, when my girls were quite young and one of the dogs apparently had an upset stomach.

I wrote about it in this article, which was published by Bay State Parent magazine back in the day. (Humorous side note: As I was adding the link to Bay State Parent, I saw that their home page today features a photos of lilacs!)

To all the mothers out there, I hope you appreciate the sentiment of the article, and that you have a great day!
