Single Dog Parent

I read an article on Facebook about signs knowing you are a single dog parent.  This article made me laugh, but oh, so true.  Some of the signs that I was really able to relate to are:

* 98% of the photos in my IPhone are of Ralphie and Ollie!!  Yep, I show everyone my pics, just like someone showing pics of their kids.

* I post photos of Ralphie on Facebook maybe well...a tad too often.  But I can't help myself.  He's just too cute.

* Singing songs with their name in it.  Yes, every morning I sing, "Good morning to Ralphie and Ollie"...they love it!  Ralphie rolls on his back for a belly rub as I sing.  He loves me singing especially when his name is in the song.

* Yes, my holiday cards will include my boys ... me, Ralphie, and Ollie in our holiday attire.  Maybe this year will be the year for pics on Santa's lap.  And of course, I dress up Ralphie for Halloween!

* I have separation anxiety when I'm gone too long from my pups.  I rush home from work each day...no stops in between.  Plus I think of them all day long!  Did I mention my desk area has many pics of my pups?

* Ralphie and I have an unspoken agreement about whose side of the bed is whose.  Ohhh, he knows my side although he tries to hog my side...LOL

* My guilty pleasure is stretching out on the couch with Ralphie and watching reality shows. Ralphie doesn't judge me, the remotes is all mine, and the shows seem to relax him as well.

* I enjoy every minute with my pups, they never bore me, they entertain me, they make me laugh, they make me smile, the make me happy.

"...some people might say...I'm too reliant on my pups or even a little bit crazy...but I much prefer to be a single, happy dog parent instead of stuck with someone who doesn't understand the unique bond I have with my dogs."
