Country star Carrie Underwood proved just why she'll make a great mom this month when she showed off her sensitive side.  

Carrie Underwood Afraid Of Living With Two Boys? 

The singer and mother-to-be posted a photo of her dog, Penny, on Instagram Jan. 14, along with a message of "unconditional love" and "acceptance".

 We should all try to see ourselves the way our dogs see us...with unconditional love and acceptance, in spite of our many flaws...

Is Carrie Underwood Really The All-American Girl? 

With a carefree smile and thriving career, it's hard to believe the Something In The Water singer talk about flaws. Her message touched fans though, most of whom found the photo adorable and the words inspiring. The singer seems to be getting in touch with her motherly side already.

The busy country singer is also setting an example for her child through hard work and determination. Recently Underwood took part in Almay's latest beauty campaign, entitled Simply American.

The star is also launching her own fitness line called Calia and working on new music. Her latest album, Greatest Hits, Decade #1, hit stores Dec. 9.

Underwood and husband Mike Fisher, who plays in the NHL for the Nashville Predators, announced back in September that they are expecting their first child together. Their baby boy will be born this spring, though the couple is keeping the precise due date a secret for the time being.
