That's how I feel.
I call them 'my children'; but they are fully aware that they are dogs and they have the rules of dogs (no getting on furniture, eat when I give you food, don't jump up on people, stay out of my kitchen, etc etc). So I don't see a problem referring to myself as their mom, given they know their place.
