If those faces don't completely melt your heart, you probably need to get your eyes checked out. These are my dogs Ava Grace (on the right) and Loretta (on the left). If you're anything like me, you are obsessed with dogs... any dogs. Your dogs, your families dogs, your neighbors dogs, and even the dog you see being walked in the park. I'm sure you'll be able to relate to these 10 things you feel when you're obsessed with dogs.
1. You cannot go into your local animal shelters
Nope. Not happening ever, unless I can take them all home with me, I'm not going.
2. ASPCA commercials are the most heartbreaking thing you've ever seen.
Unless you've got a big box of tissues, lot's of ice cream, and a huge amount of money to send, you change the channel. Not to mention, the music screams sadness.
3. Not being able to pet a service dog makes your heart sad.
Nothing against them, we love service dogs! We just want to love them and tell them how awesome they are and give them so much attention.
4. Puppies!
Puppies are the best. They're so little and cute and melt my heart. Not to mention their little bites with their sharp teeth and puppy breath.. need I say more?!
5. Christmas is never the same again.
I'm not sure how relatable this is, but when I got Ava and Loretta, I got them a "puppies first Christmas" ornament.... they had Christmas sweaters with Snoopy on them, and plenty of presents!!!! I also may or may not have put the bows that go on the presents on the top of their heads. Oops.
6. You refer to the vet's office as their "pediatrician."
Your dogs are your children, children go to a pediatrician. Simple.
7. Doggie cuddles are the best cuddles.
8. They get their hair done more than you do.
Ava and Loretta go to PetSmart and get their hair washed about once a month. I go get my hair done about once every three months.... priorities.
9. When they snore...
snoring can be so annoying, unless it's from my dog. When mine snore, I just think it is so cute and I like to watch them sleep. Could be considered creepy, but I'm telling you, my beagles snoring is like watching angels sleep.
10. No matter how bad of a day you're having, a dog can always make it better.
Your dog loves you unconditionally, and they're always happy to see you. Between the kisses, and the running to meet you at the door, and then jumping for excitement when you're finally home... There's no better feeling than coming home to your dog.
