48 Texts Your Dog Would Definitely Send You If He Could
As dog owners, we go to extreme lengths to make sure our lovable pooches know how we feel about them. Some of us talk to them like they’re newborn babies (Oh, you are so cute! Who’s a cute boy!? You is!). Some of us dress them up in outfits. And some of us are just plain old suckers for giving in to their sweet faces even after they tear up your favorite pair of suede booties (looking at you, Gus).
I spend an absurd amount of time with my dog – and more time talking to my dog. I talk to him when I’m getting ready for bed. I talk to him when I’m watching my shows. I talk to him all the time. He’ll cock his head to the side sometimes, but really I think that’s just his way of agreeing with whatever I’m saying. He’s my therapist, best friend, and ultimate cuddle buddy (sorry boyfriend).
In anticipation of the animated movie The Secret Life of Pets, I started to think of all the things that my sweet, sloppy, sometimes stinky Labrador might say to me if he could. And what pretty much every single pooch would text us on the daily:
Dog: Pizza again? This is the third time this week
Dog: OMG Brian! He’s my favorite delivery guy! His ankles smell so good!
Dog: Your bedtime routine literally kills me. Hurry up, woman.
Dog: That’s too much moisturizer. A NICKEL-SIZED AMOUNT!
