Roscoe is my 65 pound, Siberian Husky. He is also the love of my life. He gets on my nerves but there is nothing about him that I would change. As it turns out he sitting next to me on my bed as I type this whining at me because I am currently not petting him. #roughlifeRoscoe. Roscoe is my best friend and if your dog is your best friend, then DM me so I can be friends with your dog too. No, but for real, I want to meet your dog.
1.) You feel guilty leaving them every day when you go to work.
I give Roscoe a detailed itinerary every day. "I'm going to work, then I'm gonna stop at the grocery store. I'll be home by dinner time.I love you" It's obnoxious, really. But I have to tell him. Like what if he forgets that I love him? What if he misses me too much? What if he gets lonely?
2.) You talk to them about your day.
Your girl, Jess, does this every day. When something important happens or someone is getting on my nerves and I just want a listening ear.
3.) You feel the need to take them everywhere.
Going to the store? Roscoe loves car rides, hop in, little buddy. Gotta go to work? Hope your coworkers don't mind dog fur on their pants. Going out to the bar? Roscoe can be the designated driver, don't worry about it. What could possibly go wrong?

4.) You constantly take pictures of them.
My camera roll is full of my little sugar plum baby angel face. I have literally deleted pictures of family members and other important things just so I can add the 549358759894573rd picture of Roscoe to my already enormous collection. People who are friends with me on snap chat can attest to this. (Which, shameless self-promotion here, Add me on snap chat: jrain11) They're not even anything spectacular. He's not riding a motorcycle through a hoop of fire or anything, he just looks cute.
5.) You get offended when people don't love your dog as much as you do.
LIKE SERIOUSLY? ROSCOE IS GREAT, YOUR DOG IS GREAT, EVERY DOG IS GREAT, WHY ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT THIS?
6.) You're as excited to see them as they are to see you when you come home.
Roscoe jumps up on me the moment he sees me walk in the door. He can hear my voice from two flights of stairs away and comes rushing down them like a madman. It's hard to be mad about something when they're that happy to see you.
7.) You have friendship bracelets.
This is just me being obnoxious again. But I really do have matching friendship bracelets with Roscoe. It was one of the best birthday presents I have ever received. One time this little girl complimented me on it and I explained to her how my dog has the same one and I have never seen a child look so excited and a mother look so disappointed.
8.) You want them to be proud of you.
Be the type of person your dog knows you are. So say "please", "thank you", and "step off, bitch" when someone tries to treat you like shit.
9.) Their name is your password for everything.
This one seems pretty self-explanatory. And also unsafe to admit to. Please don't hack into my Facebook.
Dogs are a man's best friend for a reason. They're smart, helpful, and also cute as hell. Again, I am really not kidding, please friend me on Facebook and just send me all the cute pictures and videos you have of your dog. Or any pet for that matter. I've got a turtle named Deutoronomy (Dude for short) and a fish named El Diablo who are always looking for new friends.
Just some shenanigans me and Roscoe do on a daily basis:
