10 Things Dogs Do That Only Dog Parents Will Understand

Those of us who have dogs know that they can be super weird. The best part is that a lot of dogs have the same weirdness that make them so special to their parents. Here is a list of strange and adorable things our dogs do that are both hilarious and annoying.

1. Zoomies. In the house.

For whatever reason, our beloved companions cannot release energy outside where it is safer to do so, but insist on running full speed around the house, over the furniture, over you, etc.

2. The street cleaner. In the house.

While it looks hilarious, we know that we will never lay on that rug again.

3. Screaming to come in or go out.

This is one of their only ways to communicate with you, so obviously they're going to do it - at night, when you're sleeping.

4. Watching you use the bathroom.

There's something about small rooms with only one door that drives dogs nuts and makes them want to sit and stare at you. Better yet, when they want you to pet them.

5. Sleeping on top of you.

Yes, you bought them a new bed. Yes, they have their blankets. Yes, they're still going to want to sleep on your bed with you. And yes, its going to be on your head.

6. The adorable but loud snoring.

"Seriously? First you're going to sleep on my head, and then snore?"

7. Eat gross things...then give you kisses.

Congratulations! A sweet moment between you and your dog was ruined by the neighbor dog's poop from yesterday.

8. Demand pats while you're driving.

It doesn't matter if you're navigating a two lane double roundabout, they want their butt scratched NOW!

9. Complain about the weather.

No one wants to go out when its 20 below and snowing sideways, but especially not your dog - he'd just rather poop in the house.

10. Almost kill you with their farts.

It doesn't matter that you've been giving them the same food for 4 years, they're going to find something outside that makes them gassy and eat that instead.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
