10 Unique Things You Know To Be True If You Own A Small Dog

In This Article:

Throughout my entire life, I have owned small dogs, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. These furry little guys are the best type of companions, but they seem to face a lot of heat from individuals who own bigger, and more dominating pets.

My small, less than 20 lb babies may be pampered; they don't like jumping in the water, they get tired from walking too far, and maybe they sleep all day. But I can assure you; they are just as much as considered as a "real dog" than anything else.

1. They can physically fit anywhere and everywhere

I have found my little guy sprawled in between cabinets, hidden deep inside laundry baskets piled with clothes, and maybe we have attempted to fit him on a shelf in the refrigerator. (If you were wondering, he fit). If this isn't entertaining to you, I don't really know what is.

2. They find every way possible to cuddle up next to you

At times I find my little guy climbing and plopping down my shoulder, across my head, and right underneath my armpit. And yes, it is still incredibly cute, cuddly, and comfortable.

3. Walking them is super easy, even if they get tired too fast

These tiny pups ain't pulling me ANYWHERE

4. Not to mention... smaller poops

Lets just face it, do you like picking up large dog poops? Didn't think so!

5. You can easily carry them with one arm and immediately feel 10x better

Throw on a cute outfit, carry your dog, take a good look in the mirror, and tell me you don't feel immediately cuter and ready to take on the world.

6. They know EXACTLY when something is wrong, and can fix anything with those tiny puppy kisses

All we really need in life is for our dogs to kiss and hug away all our problems... right?

7. For all those people allergic to dog hair, these little guys are most likely hypoallergenic

8. Small pups are so much easier to transport

Car rides might seem a bit scary for these little guys, but someone in the passenger seat can easily hold onto them during any trip! They'll most likely fall asleep on your lap due to all the excitement of getting in the car anyways.

9. Tiny dog food is a lot cheaper than bigger dog food, just saying!

Smaller dogs may have stricter diets with what they can and can't eat, but it is definitely a lot cheaper! One large bag of dog kibble could easily last you months at a time rather than a new bag every few weeks.

10. They might be small, but they have huge hearts

How is it possible for such a small dog to have contain so much love!?

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
