Wait, before we proceed, let me just say that DOGS ARE THE BEST. There’s nothing else, no one else that comes this close to BEST. If you think that was my opinion, think again – it’s yours too! And your neighbor’s! It’s gospel truth, trust me.
Anywho, dogs are the best and there’s absolutely no way to list all the reasons why they’re so awesome, but I’m going to try (I’m no quitter!). Being a dog parent myself, I sometimes think about the changes my dog has brought on my life, and I’m amazed. I can’t imagine my life without my Fido, and this is why I think everyone should adopt a dog!
1. Dogs teach you to not take things too personally. Dog parents have a better sense of humor and they learn to let go of the small stuff and focus on the bright side of life.
2. Dogs teach you that you’re perfect in your own sense and that no one is ever 100% perfect. Your dogs don’t want you to run behind them picking up their poop and sweeping their hair, they want you to take it easy, and we should too. Dog parents have learned to take things easy!
3. Dogs keep you on a routine, don’t they? Instead of just wasting time doing nothing, dogs keep you on your toes! Dog parents are the boss when it comes to consistency and routine, something others lack! Remember consistency and routine help to slow down your hectic lifestyle!
4. Dogs make you less self-centered, and this is something some people lack. Being responsible for a dog is a polite reminder to yourself that there are more important things in life than how many followers you have on social media!
5. A dog parent’s secret to health is their dog! Dogs will make you run, smile, laugh, exercise and just enjoy your life – a recipe to a healthy lifestyle! Dogs can help lower heart problems and cholesterol, among other health benefits of parenting one!
