16 Signs That Your Dog Is Actually Your Baby

Here are 16 ways that prove that your pet is actually your baby and you are quite the pet-parent:

1. You Want to Buy the Whole Store for Them

So you go to the store and the only thing on your mind for every pretty dress or accessory that you see- how adorable your little pooch would look on it. Sometimes, you even feel that these were made especially for your little pup. And other times, you look at the toy section and wonder how happy your pet-baby would be to play with all of these.

2. She Has the Softest Most Comfortable Bed 

Well her bed is more comfortable than yours and there are no second thoughts to that. Not to forget the fact that she has her own space in your bed (possibly more than you). Because most nights- she wants to sleep with you. And you can’t blame the puppy if she wants to cuddle and sleep with you all the time- after all and you are responsible for her spoilt behavior.

6. You Give Him Baby Meds When He’s Sick

Admit it, when your pup gets ill, you feel as if a part of you is sinking. You want to even give them baby medicines and any other solution that works for little humans. But, this is something that you need to be wary of because, not everything that is good for humans is good for dogs too.

7. Regular Visits to the Spa (Both You and Her)

What is the spa-visit if your pooch does not get her own treatment too right? I mean she is surely blessed with that beautiful shiny coat of hers but, that needs maintenance too. Not to ignore the fact that after such a long week, she does deserve her moments of relaxation at the spa.

I mean your dog is so small and cute; you can take him easily wherever you want to. He fits in perfectly in your arms and your bed. I mean even his little pup-basket is a perfect size. Why does he even have to grow out of that size right?

But, then again, growing is an inevitable part of life. But, no matter what happens, he will always be your little baby.

When you talk to him, you address him as if you are talking to a person. “You are such a good boy Fluff and what would I do without you?”  And I am also guessing here that he is your most trusted confidant, someone who knows all your deepest secrets and who has been with you through your good times and your bad times. Well that’s how pets are. 

14. Your Whole Life Revolves Around Him

You leave that party or your office a little earlier than you otherwise would have. Just so that you can take care of him and to spend some quality time with your pooch at home. You also wake up a little earlier in the morning so that you and your dog can go for that walk, which you feel will strengthen your bond. And that is only natural as a parent- wanting to spend more time with your baby.

15. You Miss Her All of the Time

Admit it- she is always on your mind and all you think about is her the whole day. Whether you are working or out shopping with a friend, you think what your pooch must be doing at home.
