Ever since I can remember I have always had a dog running around my house. Big, medium or small, I love them all! Okay, that was pretty cheesy, but really, dogs are great. If you have a bad day, they are always down for a cuddle. They can always be just as excited as you on your good days. I may be a little biased about my dog, but she is pretty awesome.

1. You’ve ditched hanging out with friends so you can chill with your dog.

I love my friends, but if I am being honest, my dog doesn’t care if I wear makeup or if I haven’t showered in 3 days. (Okay, she might care a little about that one.) Dogs just don’t care what you look like, they just want to hang out with their awesome human.

2. You’ve accidentally called someone by your dog’s name.

It happens, you’re talking and you accidentally call someone the wrong name. It gets really embarrassing though when you mistake your two-legged friend for your four-legged friend. Believe it or not, this has happened to me on multiple occasions. And to make it worse, my friends know that I am not talking about another person, I am actually referring to them as my dog.

3. Rainy days are a blessing to you and your dog.

Not only are rainy days amazing for humans, dogs love them too. To dogs this means that their human is going to sit on the couch all day watching Netflix and probably taking some naps. As a dog lover, I look forward to rainy days because it means I get to spend the entire day with my dog being lazy. What can be better than that?

4. You have a whole album on your phone dedicated to pictures of your dog.

I am not sure when I decided to do this, but man, it was a great decision. I take a million pictures of my dog, and I love to show those pictures off too. I mean, what better way is there to show all your dog off by creating a photo album especially for him/her?

5. You treat your dog like they are your child.

If only I had a dollar for every time I call my dog babe or baby in just one day. If you have ever had the opportunity to meet my dog, you know that she is quite the princess. She’s carried around pretty much all of the time, just like a baby, she gets what she wants most of the time because with a cute face like hers, who could say no?
