10 Reasons Why It's Okay To Be Obsessed With Your Dog

Like you need any more.

10. They Have Stinkier Breath Than You - And They Don't Care.

If you let your dog sleep with you (how could you not?!), then you are probably familiar with their lovely good morning yawns/kisses. Why must they breathe their lovely fishy/fungus aroma in your face every morning? I'll tell you why. They want to make you feel better. How could your boyfriend/girlfriend notice your breath is a little off when they have your dogs fumes invading their nostrils? Your dog doesn't mind - I actually think they secretly hold contests for whose breath is the most potent.

9. Cleaning? Forget about it.

Your dog will clean for you. Really, they are more than happy to clean! All those annoying little crumbs that fall on your kitchen floor while you are making snacks at 2:00 in the morning? Don't worry, consider them gone. That piece of food stuck to your face that no one told you about all day? Don't worry, your dog will get you looking your best in no time. Socks left on the floor? Don't worry, consider them gone. Your dog will happily hide it somewhere very safe and secretive for you.

8. Moral Support? You got it.

Listen, you are the definition of perfection to your dog. However, they understand sometimes you might want to make some changes to your appearance. If you want someone to get up and jog with you at a ridiculous time, your dog is ready to go! They will jog with you and act like you are Usain Bolt. Seriously, your dog thinks you are the best. And, if you happen to break down and want to watch Netflix and eat pizza for the rest of your life, your dog will have no problem with that. Just be sure to drop a piece of pepperoni or something.

7. You can go a little crazy.

Talking to yourself is totally okay. Alone at your place? Perfect time to talk the entire day to your dog. Really, let your neighbours think you always have friends over. Microwaving some leftover Chinese food? Your dog will listen intently as you describe your chef-like powers. Better yet, talk to your dog about how much you think they are absolutely amazing. Dogs love that kinda talk.

6. Get Creative!

It is definitely clear to your dog that you possess some awesome talent. That food you make, even when they hear you complaining it's burnt, smells like fine cuisine to your dog. What about that painting you do? Your dog loves it - they might even walk across your painting one day. (They really weren't meaning to ruin it - they only wanted to be part of the process). So, go ahead - let your creativity free! Your dog doesn't mind being your test model.

5. You Will Never Go Cold

Sometimes you confuse your dog. You are all naked and then you finally put some clothes on...but you don't cover all of your skin! Your arms poke out of short sleeves or your legs are exposed through shorts. This is just not okay with your dog and they will take the thoughtful step of covering your clothing with some of their own fur before you leave the house. They will rub enough dog hair onto your work shirts and fancy jackets to make sure you could sew a completely new (and better) jacket or shirt if needed. Your warmth is their priority. And if you can't sew...well, your dog didn't consider that. Because your dog thinks you can pretty much do anything with those fancy thumbs and stuff.

4. Try Out Something New

Here's some important information - your dog thinks you hold back way too much. They listen to you talk about all of your goals and wanting to try new things....and then you never do. Your dog is polite about it. They really don't mind if you would rather stay home and put off all those things. But, your dog really wants you to get out there. Dogs are all about enjoying life! Your dog understands that it can be scary trying out something new - so they have no problems coming along with you. They will probably trip or run into something wherever you end up going. It's totally done on purpose just to make you feel better - they swear.

3. Go Ahead - Release The Fart

Holding in your farts is just wrong. Ask your dog - they will gladly let one rip while your boyfriend/girlfriends parents are over visiting for the first time. Farts are meant to be released! Why do you think dogs have no shame? Your dog understands you might not be so comfortable, so they will cover for you. You can let that fart you've been holding in all day escape in front of company. Does it smell like radioactive eggs? Doesn't matter, your dog will take the blame. Is it silent or did it accidentally let out that awful fart squeak? Yeah, your dogs got that covered too. Just don't give your dog such a hard time when they make your bedroom smell like rotten cabbage.

2. Sleeping All Day Is Never A Sign Of Laziness

Life is way too stressful sometimes. You have a job to wake up for every day or school or both. And then you get a day off - to do all of those other errands that you keep procrastinating about. Sound like way too much? Yeah, your dog agrees. Let your dog be your number one supporter for taking a day to stay in bed. No alarm clock (your dog will eventually plot to destroy it anyway) and no worries. Get cosy with your dog in bed. Put on some TV to watch. Or, just enjoy silence. Minus your dogs farts every now and then, that is.

1. Your Happiness Is Their Happiness

Whatever you are going through in life, your dog will go through with you. From the big things, like providing cuddles when you break up with someone, to the little things, like scooting across your carpet in order to make sure it smells good - your dog has your back. You can wake up looking like a wild sasquatch, have a permanent moustache caused by too many Doritos or Cheetos, or even peel your face off the couch you fell asleep on that has caused a psychedelic pattern on one cheek - it doesn't matter. Your dog just wants you to accept them for their flaws too....though they will never, ever admit they have any.
