    1. Every person you pass when walking your precious baby thinks this is a clever reaction: "Oh my gosh, that dog is bigger than you!"

    2. Or this: "It looks like he is walking you!"

    3. And sometimes when you try to be friendly, you're met with sheer terror from fellow dog owners and parents of small children.

    Which can be a good thing.

    4. Even if your budget for dog food > budget for your food

    5. And you can't buy anything big enough for them in regular pet stores.

    6. And you're pretty sure you know what it's like to sleep in a straight jacket.

    7. You will never feel alone at night.

    8. You always have a dance partner.

    9. And a shoulder to cry on.

    10. Because you're the proud parent of one of the biggest cuddlers in the universe.
