As a person who is seriously obsessed with dogs, I can’t fathom how someone could NOT like them.
We’ve all had those days where it seems as if a storm cloud is following you around, and you feel like the universe is laughing at you as everything goes wrong. On these days, everyone that looks at or talks to you usually makes you want to scream and hit things, and it’s usually best to avoid all of this until you’ve calmed down a bit.
But have you ever had a day where the mere sight of an animal made you overwhelmingly furious? I doubt it!
Because animals are great.
Dogs are great.
Now, I'm okay with admitting that I’m a little biased because I’ve never been one of those people that has to be in a relationship in order to function. There are some people like that, and that’s okay-- they just probably don’t crave a dog’s love like I do.
Even so, taking care of a dog is WAY less work than keeping a boy.
1. They love you no matter what!
They don’t care what you look like or if you haven’t showered in a few days, they won’t care if you forgot to call before coming home late, and they don’t care if you forget to clean up or do the dishes!
2.They’re SO forgiving!
If you accidentally step on your fur baby, they think they’ve done something wrong! As soon as you give them a little love and a treat, you’re automatically forgiven! The same can’t be said for boyfriends!
3. They’re great listeners!
Not only do they hear every single noise at night and make it known in order to protect you if they do, but they will sit and listen to your pointless dramas and heartbreaks over and over and over again!
4. They’re loyal!
They don’t come home late at night, they don’t leave you wondering where they were, and they don’t read through your texts. Dogs wait for you to come home and greet you at the door because you are their world!
5. They’re up for anything!
This is a big one for me-- Dogs don’t care if you want to lay in bed and watch Netflix all day long, so say goodbye to getting dressed and having to put makeup on and say hello to a new episode of your favorite TV show.
6. They’re the best cuddlers.
They’re up for a cuddle whenever you’re willing to give one! This will boost your mood, ease pain, and lower stress levels!
7. They will always agree with you!
When you’re complaining about something that your friend did to let you down, your pup won’t tell you that you’re being unreasonable or that you should talk to the person giving you grief! They’ll give you some puppy loving and let you get it all out without feeling like the villain.
8.You never have to meet their parents!
When you’ve got a pup instead of a boyfriend, you won’t have to spend hours stressing over what to wear and what to say when you finally meet good ol’ mom and dad! Enough said, really!
9. Your friends love them!
You never have to worry about what your friends think about your pup because they’re guaranteed to love them!
10. They’ll always make you laugh!
Dogs are magical, derpy, little things that never fail to be silly, even when they don’t know it! You won’t have to worry about a boy with no sense of humor when you’ve got a pup in your presence!
Moral of the story is, having a boyfriend is just too much work. Buy a dog instead!
