It’s easy to imagine the big picture of what it must be like to live with a dog. But there are plenty of little joys and giggle-worthy moments that only real dog lovers experience…
If you’re a dog parent, dog sitter, or even work in a dog friendly office, chances are you can relate to these 20 dog moments.
1. You never, ever, have to eat alone.
2. You are always greeted home by someone who loves you and is crazy-happy to see you.
3. You don’t have to worry about sweeping up crumbs from the floor (if only they could tidy the fur they shed everywhere)
4. The sound their claws make when they run to you from the other end of the house is the cutest. thing. ever.
5. You don’t need any extra blankets when it’s cold.
6. No need to watch the T.V. for a good laugh anymore. You have a 24/7 live comedy show in your living room.
7. If your plans with friends get cancelled, you can always go for a long walk, which is just as great.
8. Forget about setting your alarm clock, or even having one. Your pooch will never forget breakfast time! (Downside: You can’t turn them off on Sundays)
9. The excitement you feel when you buy them a new toy and they just LOVE it.
10. You always have someone around to tell your secrets to.
11. The happiness you feel when you teach them a new trick.
12. Or when they see their best friend at the park and you KNOW they’re going to have a blast.
13. The satisfaction of knowing that you’re giving a good life to a pooch that would possibly be dead without your care.
14. Squishing their paw pads gently while they sleep.
15. You know they’ve had a GREAT time at the park when you get home and they just collapse on the floor to sleep.
16. You don’t have to worry about making your bed anymore. Puppy can do it for you!
17. How proud you feel when something scares them and they come running straight to you for protection.
18. How hard it can be to tell them “no” when they have those puppy dog eyes looking at you.
19. You always have a buddy to snuggle with when you just NEED a hug.
20. When you’re feeling sad and they just know… so they motivate you to play.
