10 Signs You're A TOTAL Dog Mommy (& Proud Of It!)

It's ONE thing to have "a dog" and something completely different to call said dog "my baby" or "love of my life". It’s not enough to just own the fluffy goofballs, many of us find ourselves committing to a higher role than just caretaker. 

Here are ten (OK, maybe super obvious) signs you might be a LITTLE obsessed (in a good way!) with your dog ... I mean baby:

1You find yourself overwhelmed with pride whenever they go to the bathroom outside.

... or bring you “gifts” of the grosser variety.

2You talk to them —​ maybe even sing to them.

Giphy 

WHAT? It’s not THAT weird. Everyone does it.

3You're a total SUCKER for those big, sweet puppy eyes.

Giphy

Disciplining is important, but really you take away whatever they chewed, wag your finger, and give them a treat ten minutes later because they look hungry.

4You're a dog park REGULAR.

Giphy

 Sure, you go to the dog park, but not to make them tired. It's to socialize them (of course!) The exhaustion is just a plus.

5You don't mind waking up and going to sleep ... on your dog's terms.

Giphy

You accept the full time job of their nine o’clock curfew and their five o’clock wake up call.

6Friends want you to go out? Yeah, probably not happening.

Giphy

You weigh the options between a “family” movie night at home and staying out late with friends. But you ALWAYS have to be back home on TIME! 

7You use trips to the dog park to talk about ... your dog.

Giphy

At the dog park you talk to the other dog parents explicitly about your dogs and their wellbeing.

8You take time off of work to bring Fido to his monthly check-up.

Giphy

You are persistent with their medications/vet visits/eye boogies. 

9You call the gunk in their eyes “eye boogies”

Giphy

Well, DUH.

10You bring your dog absolutely EVERYWHERE and think about them NON-STOP.

Giphy

You love those goofy creatures no matter what. BFFs for LIFE!
