So, yeah, sorry to crush everyone's feelings, but unless you're actually an important person in my life, I probably like my dog better than you. I'm honestly not even trying to be rude here, just honest.

Tanner is such a lovable and protective dog that I'll seriously be a total mess, at least in the beginning, at college while getting used to the huge transition.

While I'm going to be missing my dog like crazy, he will probably be at home enjoying his peace and quiet! When I'm around, there's no relaxing for him because I either want to play with him, or cuddle with him in a way that super comfy for me, but like being a body contortionist for him.

Joking aside, I'll obviously miss some humans, but right now, I always have my dog. When I'm tired, I make him come take a nap with me. When I want to have a laugh, I end up using him to somehow make that happen, whether that be by playing with his ears, or just dressing him up in a funny costume.

So, like I said, me leaving will definitely cut him a break, but overall, he'll be lonely too. Instead of laying with me in bed at night, he'll have to find a new favorite family member.

Instead of me getting him ice cream whenever I'm out, he'll have to deal with only getting it like once a week, which may sound like a lot, but he's very spoiled by me. One day I got him two large ice cream dishes within about three hours, just because.

Sure, I'll be missing him like crazy and his life may be a bit easier without me bugging him all day, but we are both going to have some adjusting to do.

I'm sure most people reading this are thinking to themselves, "she is seriously crazy, he's just a dog," but he's not just a dog. He's my best friend.
