I knew going to college would be hard, but one of the hardest parts ended up being leaving my dog. While even though I'm lucky enough to be a townie and can basically see my pooch whenever I want, it's just not the same. It's a real downer to not be able to wake up and fall asleep to her furry face every night. My friends and family constantly say, "hey, uh, you think you're maybe a little too obsessed?" And, honestly, yes I probably am. But, I also know though that I am not the only one.
Here are 20 signs you're just like me and a little too obsessed with your fluffy friend:
1. Their birthday is one of the only ones you can remember.
Sorry fam, when's the special day again?
2. You always save them a little bit of your food.
Whether it's the crust off your toast or your scraps when you're finished, you make sure they get a little bite... or ten.
3. You regularly watch video's you took on your phone of them.
"Hey! Look how cute my dog is! SERIOUSLY LOOK!"
4. You're extremely over protective of them.
You probably freak out when another dog gets too rough with them or another human tussles with them a little too much.
5. Your separation anxiety literally makes you cry.
"I wonder what *insert dog name* is doing right now..." *hysterically sobs*
6. You constantly ask "Can my dog come?"
On a road trip, on a car ride, to Starbucks...
7. You compliment them 79393893 times a day.
"You're so pretty and smart!"
"Do you know how much I love you?"
*Strangles with hugs*
8. You freak out if they start choking on their food or a bone.
"AHHH NO PLEASE DON'T DIE" *attempts CPR*
9. Everything they do is funny to you.
10. You care about what to buy them as a Christmas present more than any human.
"Do you think he'd like this bone, or this bone?"
11. You always want to dress them up on holidays.
*Chases dog around house with easter bunny ears*
12. You have nicknames for them that don't even make any sense.
Nugget, Doodles, Lil Shi*
13. Your bed is their bed.
*Wraps entire blanket around dog*
14. You don't question how weird they are.
15. You ask how the dog is doing before anyone else.
"How's he been sleeping? Does he seem like he misses me?"
16. You HATE when people comment on how old your dog is getting.
No she is not getting old she is still a puppy and will never die.
17. If your significant other doesn't like your dog, you can't date them.
"How cute is she?!"
"Eh, I don't really like dogs."
"...I don't really like you."
18. You can't yell at them even if they're bad.
19. You talk to them like they are a human, and even more than humans.
"So, yeah, Katie and I aren't friends anymore now...but how was your day?"
