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.”

While watching Hannah struggle to walk and climb stairs, owner Kyle Amick knew a difficult decision was on the horizon. “I finally decided that keeping her on the meds was selfish, but keeping her off of them was just as cruel," Amick stated. Devastated to see her best friend living in pain, stricken by seizures, with medication that no longer worked, Amick decided to give Hannah one last day of love and pampering. She photographed each step of this beautiful yet heartbreaking final day with Hannah. The day began with a car ride where Amick wondered if Hannah could sense the sadness in the air.

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

"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

10 Designer Dog Breeds That Will Melt Your Heart

When considering dog adoption, don’t rule out the crossbreeds. Scientific research indicates they’re generally healthier and longer lived than their purebred counterparts. Not to mention, there are some truly adorable combinations out there, like the playful cheagle (half Chihuahua, half beagle), or regal bullpug (half English bulldog, half pug). The term “designer dog” was first used in the late 20th century, and refers to companion dogs who have been deliberately crossbred from two or more purebreds.

Here’s our list of 16 designer dog breeds that absolutely melt our hearts. Golden Dox Heritage: Golden Retriever, Dachshund Traits: Courageous, loyal, playful.
