Confessions Of A "Dog-Aholic"

There is absolutely nothing better than a best friend who wags their butt every time you walk into the door, wet noses and a therapist with four legs that never talks back to you. Whoever said diamonds were a girl's best friend never had a dog. Let me tell you, I don't want diamonds, (Okay, sure, yes I would take them, who wouldn't?) but if you bring me five puppies I will love you forever. Dogs aren't just a man's best friend but everyone's. The best kind: dog-aholics.

We all know these people. People like me. You know, that one's that wish they could text their dogs while they are away to keep up with them, ask them what squirrels they chased that day, or if the new toy was destroyed yet, or if you'd be coming home to the couch ripped to pieces because you were gone too long.....yeah we exist.

If you're a dog-aholic like me, then these 10 confessions may bring tears to your eyes. So grab some tissues, and your best furry pal (if possible). Oh, and if you're not, it's all right too, because now you can make fun of your best friend for being one.

1. You talk to them in a baby voice.

It's almost a mix of an annoying siren and and a record that is stuck on repeat, especially when you see them when you come home. These are your babies, so of course you're high pitched squeal is one hundred percent accurate. Sometimes you say something like, "I just want to smooch his face off." I know, it sounds quite odd, but trust me, it's not.

2. You are covered in dog hair.

As annoying as it is, or dirty as it looks, it's your fluff balls hair on you, and it means they are with you. When you leave the house hair free, it's almost like you're missing something. Based on your wardrobe....your favorite color is dog hair. It's everywhere, the bed sheets, the floor, your clothes and sometimes it even lands on your plate before dinner...

3. Sometimes....you dress them up.

No, no not like full on costume, (although if you do that, go you!), I'm more talking about the piece of bread around their face, or coloring on eyebrows or putting them in your favorite jersey. Why not?

4. You FaceTime/Skype them while you are away.

Even if that means the person they are with has to chase them around the house to get them into the shot. Sometimes, if you're lucky, they actually hear your voice and know you are across the little screen.

5. You let them sleep with you, even when they take up the whole bed.

You don't have the heart to move them, they are too cute all snuggled up. Sometimes you even tuck them in under the covers. Other times, when they don't want to sleep in your room, you force them into your bedroom and don't feel bad about it.

6. You buy them endless amounts of toys.

But turns out, all they want is a stick that's preferably too big for them.

7. You can't stay mad when they do bad things.

Like jump up to get food from the kitchen table, accidentally doing their duty in the living room, or this perhaps...

8. You take selfies with them.

Your phone has hundreds of them, if not more. You take them very seriously too, thank you very much.

9. You add their name into songs you sing.

"Hello from the (insert dogs name here) SIDE!" "Is it too late now to say (insert dogs name here)?" "This is my (insert dogs name here) song!"

10. You call them family.

You wouldn't have it any other way. These dogs are your family and you would not be able to live with out them.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
