13 Signs You're Slightly Obsessed With Your Pet
Play Buzz

They say your dog's your best friend, but have you ever caught yourself being obsessed? Most people take in a pet as a companion; however, pets soon become your entire life. If you share my pet obsession, all of these will apply to you.

1. You avoid going out with friends just so you can spend the night in with them.

Your pet will probably be jealous if you go out with the girlfriends, so you might as well stay in with him. Cuddles and pajamas all night!

2. You spend more money on pet toys than your wardrobe.

The pet store takes a majority of your money; luxury catnip and stuffed toys for pooch, discount sweaters for you.

3. You could knit a blanket with all of the pet hair that collects.

There’s no telling how much fur is in your house. In memory of your pet, you’ve thought about knitting a throw from his furs.

4. You refer to your pet as either your child or your sibling.

When you got your pet, he immediately took your last name and joined the family. Just an extra furry child, right?

5. Your social media is filled with pictures of your pooch.

The moment you see your cat in the cutest position, your first thought is "that would make a great Instagram post!"

6. Not to mention your Camera Roll…

And you can't just take one photo, so you snap until your heart's content.

7. Your fragrance of choice is kibble or litter.

Smelling like kitty litter or pet food is just one of the downsides of being a pet owner. But hey, it's almost as good as Chanel N°5, right?

8. You refuse to let your furry friend sleep anywhere other than your bed.

Cuddles all night are the way to go. Chances are, you've ditched the crate and are ready to snuggle up to your favorite animal.

9. In fact, you may start to like them more than your significant other.

Who's the third wheel in your marriage: the dog or the husband? The world may never know.

10. Pet-friendly hotels are the only place you’ll stay.

You'd never want your pet to miss out on a family vacation; pack his bags and hope he doesn't destroy the hotel pillows!

11. You begin to talk to your pet as if they can understand.

It's a good thing your pet can't talk, cause they'd spill all of your dirty secrets. In reality, your pet makes a great therapist.

12. Your pet is annoyed with how much you pet them.

If your dog could talk he'd yell at you for all of the attention he's getting, but the pet-obsessed can't help but give their pooch a pat.

13. Your famous one-liner is “I can’t, I’m on pet duty.”

You're either walking your dog, scooping the litter, or changing the cage. Pet duty is a major responsibility (and social life suicide) but it's all worth it when they snuggle up to you.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
