What Surprised You The Most About Getting A Dog During Quarantine?

What are the best and worst parts?

With most people staying in and working from home, more and more folks are looking to adopt dogs right now.

Dogs of all ages are finding homes, and many people are quickly learning what it really means to be a Dog Pawrentβ„’. Are you one of those people?

If you are, we wanna know what's surprised you most about your newfound ~pawrenthood~!

Maybe you were surprised by how different your dog's personality was once they got comfortable in your home!

Who else thinks Milo is a little bit excited that he's going to his forever home? πŸ˜†πŸ’› Congrats Milo, go live your best life! 🐢 @DT_Harefield

Or maybe you learned the hard way that pups reeeeeeeally like their routines β€” like when they wake you up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday to go poo poo.

Perhaps you were truly and utterly *SHOCKED* by how many full-length conversations you've ended up having with your fur baby.

Or maybe you were pleasantly surprised by how much your mental health improved from having unconditional love, going on routine walks, and just having someone to care for besides yourself.

Whatever your experience becoming a dog owner during quarantine has been, we wanna hear about it! Tell us your story (and maybe include a pic of you and your dogini!!!) in the comments below, and you just might be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post!!!
