12 Things Dog Owners Do That We Don’t Always Talk About


Let’s face it–we’re absolutely crazy about our pups. So crazy, in fact, that sometimes we act a little weird around our canine companions. Whether it’s baking them special treats or talking to them like they’re wittle babies, you know that your non-dog crazy friends would totally tease you if they knew how you really treat your dog.

But that’s okay, we understand. For every weird little way you show your dog love, there’s another person out there who does the same thing. Here are 12 weird things we dog owners do that we try to keep secret–but don’t worry, your secret’s safe with us! Click Next Under There To Start Slide Show>>

#12 Make up excuses to bail on plans  just to hang out with your dog.

Hmmm…get all dressed up and spend too much money or stay home in my PJ’s with a glass of wine and my furry best friend? We’ll take the latter!

#11 Have conversations with your canine.

Others may not understand it, but your dog definitely talks back–in her own way.

#10 Let your dog sleep in bed with you.

Oh come on, everyone does it!

#9 Order them a dog-friendly treat when you go to a restaurant or drive-thru.

After all, Fido gets hungry too!

#8 Pass them food under the table.

You know it’s a bad habit, but… just look at that face!

#7 Figure out ways to sneak them into non-dog-friendly places.

If anyone asks, you just have a barking purse.


#6 Let your big dog sit in your lap.

What? Big dogs like to cuddle, too!

#5 Bake your pooch special homemade dog cookies.

Because everyone loves baked goods that are made with love–even your pup!

#4 Let them slobber all over your face.

It’s a thing you do with those you love, right?

#3 Refer to yourself as “Mommy” or “Daddy.”

As in, “Daddy loves you” or “Give Mommy kisses!”

#2 Talk to them like they’re the cutest wittle baby-wabies in the world!

But you just wuv your puppy wuppy so much!

#1 Give your dog a ton of weird nicknames.

Your friends may have heard you call your pup “Sweetie” or even “Fluffbutt,” they haven’t heard the more colorful nicknames like “Mushy Maggy Moo Moo ” or “Snugz-a-rooni.”

Guy Posts This Picture Of His New Dog And People Immediately Call The Police On Him

Image
Diggy, a rescue pup with a goofy smile, was so thrilled by his new owner he couldn’t stop smiling. So when his owner posted a selfie with him on Facebook, he became instantly famous. Unfortunately, his newfound fame would end up costing him dearly. Just days after the post, police swept in to take the Diggy away. Facebook/Detroit Dog Rescue In June 2016, after years of hard work as a musician in Waterford Township, Michigan, Dan Tillery and his girlfriend Megan had just purchased their first home. But no home is complete without man’s best friend. So after moving in, the couple set out to adopt a dog. Little did they know, however, they were signing up for a world of hurt. Facebook/Dan Tillery “[My girlfriend and I] have been wanting a dog forever, but the place we were renting would not allow dogs. We just recently purchased our first home. All ours.

This English Teacher Brings His Corgi To Work Every Day

Image
If you’ve ever had Bring Your Dog To Work Day or worked in a dog-friendly environment, you know how much fun it can be. Who wouldn’t want to spend their coffee breaks in the company of some furry friends? Well, one English teacher in Austin, Texas brings his dog to work with him every single day, much to the delight of his high school students. Banjo the corgi is super-cute and joins his owner Kenneth Snyder in the classroom daily, where we’re guessing he’s pretty popular. Banjo gained a national audience in March when social media manager Sophie Vershbow, a friend of Snyder’s girlfriend,  tweeted out a photo of the dynamic duo: “My friend’s boyfriend is an AP English teacher in Austin. He brings his dog Banjo to school every day. Less teachers with guns, more teachers with corgis,” she wrote. No matter your politics, that sounds like a sentiment a lot of people could get behind! People on Twitter agreed, and the tweet has now been been re-tweeted nearly 70,000...

Dog Leads Man Into The Woods, Soon Realizes The Reason They’re So Desperate

Image
Many animals are born with an innate ability to sense impending danger. Some people refer to this as a sixth sense, while others call it animal instinct. Either way, this intuition is invaluable when these animals find themselves in a threatening situation. When one man was out for a walk with his dogs, he noticed their behavior was becoming more and more erratic. Just as he started to wonder if something was wrong, they began to drag him toward the woods—and he realized he was about to encounter some serious trouble… We may not quite understand how it works, but animals are born with a strong intuition. They always seem to know when a situation might be trouble or even when someone is in danger. Dog owner Mark White of Wixom, Michigan, knew this better than most. Mark was recently out for a walk with his two dogs, Belle and Crew, when something bizarre happened. Little did they know was that it would be the beginning of a situation only Belle and Crew could handle… Ma...

[Security Camera] Shows Man Dumping Sick Puppies In The Middle Of The Night

Image
"They must have been freezing and it’s a miracle that they survived until they were discovered.” Back in September, Pablo and Penny (then called Pippin and Perdy) were only a few weeks old when someone put them in a bag, brought them to a random neighborhood around 9 at night and dumped them over a wall and into someone’s garden. They were abandoned in the freezing cold and rain as if they were nothing but trash, and were discovered around 2:45 a.m. and quickly taken in by the RSPCA. “The CCTV clearly shows a man walk past and then stop, before holding a carrier bag over the wall and tipping it out into the garden,” Sally Bamforth, an inspector with the RSPCA, said in a press release. “Then as he walks away, he pauses as the two tiny, disorientated puppies appear from underneath a bush and potter across the lawn. They must have been freezing and it’s a miracle that they survived until they were discovered.” When rescuers came to collect the two tiny siblings, they w...
