I have had an unparalleled and unconditional love for dogs since I can remember. What is there not to love? They are loyal, loving, cuddly and irresistibly adorable. No matter what I do, or how long I leave the house for, they will always love me, I can do no wrong in their sweet little eyes, and for that matter, neither can they. No mater how many times they pee in the house and no matter how many pairs of shoes they destroy, they will always have my heart. Recently, I have come to terms with the fact that not all people feel this way, and that some may see my relationship with my dogs as slightly irregular. Who cares? I’m a crazy dog lady and proud of it. So here are some signs that you may also be a crazy dog lover.

1. You have at some point referred to them as your "babies" or "children."

2. Their food is more expensive than yours.

3. You actually get offended when someone calls your dog "fat" or "ugly."

4. Your bed is actually their bed.

5. You have taken a photo shoot of your dogs.

6. You have taken a holiday themed photoshoot of your dogs.

7. You have bought them some kind of article of clothing.

8. You think they have so much personality that you are convinced that they are actually humans trapped in dog bodies.

9. After a long trip away from home, you are more excited to see your dogs than you are to see your friends/family.

10. When people ask to see a photo of your dog, you quickly whip out your phone to show them 20+ photos, the way a mom would do so of her new born baby.

11. You know your dog is cuter and better than any other dog on the planet.

12. Anyone who follows you on Snapchat has seen more photos of your dog than they have of anything else.

13. You have held your dog as you cried because he/she is the only one who understands you.

14. You have wished that your dog could be in your wedding party.

15. You let them give you kisses.

16. You would do anything, pay anything, or go anywhere to insure your dogs health happiness and safety.

Dogs are one of Gods greatest gifts to mankind. They are a part of the family and hold a special place in the hearts of their owners. They teach us how to love, how to forgive and how to be truly happy.
