So, you're a dog owner and you relate to so many things only human parents would understand. Even though people may try to say that raising a dog is nothing like raising a baby- in some ways it is. A dog owner understands many things and appreciates even more things in life.
1. Sneezes
Every single time your dog sneezes you say "bless you", even though they can't understand you. It just makes you feel better knowing that they're blessed from the demons.
2. Pictures
Your camera roll is filled with pictures of your little baby. Once he/she looks at you a certain way, you snap a picture of them. You probably dress them up or put your glasses on them to make them seem human.
3. Puppy Dog Looks
Let's say your little puppy runs off with your favorite pair of shoes and tears them to pieces. Although you'll be mad for a little while, they'll end up giving you the look and you just have to forgive them.
4. Car Rides
You'll take your pup on car rides with the windows down to see their cute little ears blow in the wind. They love the smell of the outdoors and the wind in their fur. They just love spending every moment with you.
5. Dog Parks
Dogs love spending time with other dogs. The more interactions they can get with them, the more social they'll be. Plus, it's nice to let your dog run free and get some exercise. Even if they don't like the other dogs, it makes you feel better to have them out and about.
6. Dog Friends
Your
7. Sleep Space
The odds of you keeping the whole bed to yourself are slim. If your baby is taking up half the bed, you won't move them over. You'll let them keep their space and sleep on the corner of the bed.
8. Pooping
Believe it or not, you look at your
9. Voices
You pretend your dog can talk to you. You probably spend time thinking, if my dog could talk I wonder what they'd sound like. Especially when they do something they aren't suppose to, you can just hear them saying "I'm sorry".
10. Compliments
If anyone compliments another dog saying, "that's the cutest dog I've ever seen", you pull up pictures of your little fur ball to prove them wrong. Even if you own the ugliest dog, you still think they're the cutest. On top of that, you're constantly telling your dog they're so cute or so good.
11. Senses
Your dog knows when something is wrong with you, and they also know when you're in a great mood. Anytime you're crying, they're snuggling up next to you. Anytime your mad, they're most likely on the other side of the room trying to stay out of the way. When you're happy- they're happy. Your emotions rub off on them.
12. Trips Without Them
You can't go a day without them not knowing if they're okay. Calling your family or dog sitter to talk to your dog has become a normal thing to you. If you're going out of town for a few days without them, a dog sitter is the first thing you plan.
13. Hugs and Kisses
Dogs aren't meant to walk on two legs or open their arms. If you can get a hug out of your puppy, you'll hold them for hours. For
14. Spoiling Them
You're more apt to do things for them than you'd do for an actual person. You'll wait on them hand and foot until their sleeping, and even then you're still rubbing their belly.
15. Storms and Nightmares
Whether it's you or your dog freaking out about the storm or a nightmare, you're up late at night holding each other for comfort. When your dog is whining in their sleep, you probably wake them up to save them from that horrible dream.
