Dogs are some of the happiest creatures out there! Sometimes, though, the things they do really don't take sense to us. Let's take a look at the inner workings of a dog's brain on a typical day:
7 a.m.:
Wow, the humans have been asleep for a long time! I should jump on their bed and lick their faces! I think they'll really appreciate that! Good morning, humans! Let me out! I have to use the restroom! I'm hungry! Please pet my belly!
7:30 a.m.:
I ate a nice leaf outside, it was really crunchy! That squirrel came back today, he's mean. He makes it seem like he wants to play but when I run after him he runs up the fence and leaves the yard, I don't get it! Maybe he wants me to follow him over the fence? Oh well, off to go eat some grass.
8 a.m.:
Breakfast! Oh boy, my favorite thing! And now the humans want to play fetch with me, my other favorite thing!
9 a.m.:
The humans disappeared into the room with the rain chamber and didn't take me with them! What am I suppose to do!? Who's going to feed me, who's going to rub my belly?! When will they be back!?
9:30 a.m.:
The humans came back, pet my head, and then left out the front door! I don't know why they do this to me! Have I been abandoned!?
10:30 a.m.:
Due to my abandonment I am now starving; I have eaten all of the trash to fill my belly. I will need to find warmth for the night, so I think I will tear the stuffing out of the couch cushions and use it to make a bed.
1 p.m.:
I have found my bone as it is now my only source of entertainment. No one is here to throw my ball for me, I shall gnaw in shame.
3 p.m.:
I have to pee again, and I'm not sure how much longer I can hold it. I think I might pee in the potted plant, I have been doing it for weeks now and the humans have yet to notice. If I can't find a way outside, I might have to squat in the middle of the living room and just let it go.
5 p.m.:
I heard a car door shut! I hear voices! It's the humans! They're back! I must jump on them and lick their faces! Why don't you ever take me with you guys!? I thought I was never going to see you again!
7 p.m.:
I am grateful that the humans are back. However, they were not happy about the bed I made and have confined me in this box. I hate this box, let me out so I can jump on you!
8:30 p.m.:
The humans were cuddling on the couch, so naturally I had to come up and lay right on top of them. I love the soft, squishy, nearly furless humans.
10 p.m.:
The humans have crawled into their bed, I think I will join. They don't understand that despite my size, I need a majority of the bed. Silly humans, move over!
