Being a dog mom isn’t just a title–
it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re wiping paw prints off your floors or
negotiating with your furry child about which spot on the couch
belongs to you, dog moms live a life
filled with quirks, laughs, and
unconditional love. Here are 10 funny things only we, the proud dog moms truly understand:
1. You’ve Mastered the “Dog
Voice”
We all have that silly, high-pitched
voice reserved only for our dogs,
Whether you’re saying, “Who’s a good boy?” or “Did someone say treat?” it’s impossible to resist. Bonus points if you find yourself doing it in public without shame.
2. Your Dog’s Bed Costs More
Than Yours
You’re willing to sleep on an old
mattress, but your fur baby gets a
memory foam bed with orthopedic
support. And let’s not forget the
blankets, pillows, and those cute
seasonal beds they just had to have.
3. Your Phone Is Full of Dog
Photos
Your camera roll is 90% pictures of your dog–sleeping, eating, playing,
staring at a wall-and the other 10%
are failed attempts to capture the
“perfect” selfie with them.
4. Your Dog’s Schedule Runs
Your Life
Lunch with friends? Better make sure it’s after your dog’s walk. Weekend plans? Only if they’re dog-friendly. Your entire routine revolves around your four-legged boss.
5. You Talk to Your Dog Like
They’re Human
“I can’t believe you ate that!” “Why
are you looking at me like that?” “Do you think I should wear this dress?” Conversations with your dog are a daily norm. Who needs humans when your pup is such a great listener?
6. You Have Treats Stashed
Everywhere
Your purse, your car, your jacket
pocket-there’s always a dog treat
somewhere. Because you never know when your pup deserves a little bribe or reward (which, let’s be honest, is all the time).
7. Paw Prints Are Your Home’s
Signature Look
Despite cleaning every other day,
your floors, furniture, and sometimes even your clothes carry those adorable little muddy paw prints. You’ve stopped fighting it–it’s just part of the decor now.
8. You’ve Become an Expert at
Dog-Specific Shopping
Forget shopping for yourself. These
days, you know all the best stores for
dog toys, the difference between
every type of kibble, and which dog
jackets are both stylish and
functional.
9. Your Dog Has Their 0wn
Instagram Account
And they probably have more
followers than you. Because let’s
face it, your dog is the real star in
your life–and the world agrees.
10. Saying Goodbye Before
Leaving the House Is a Ritual
You can’t just leave. You need to
kneel down, pet them, say goodbye
17 times, promise you’ll be back
soon, and explain why you have to
leave them behind. And you feel the
guilt for hours afterward.
Final Thoughts
Being a dog mom means living a life
full of hilarious quirks, endless love
and moments only other dog moms
can relate to. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s worth every
slobbery kiss and wagging tail. What funny things do you experience as a dog mom? Share your stories in the comments-I’d love to hear them!
