SOME THINGS IN life, only another dog owner can understand.
Sashay away, cat people. This is about dogs.
1. People don’t get that your dog is actually incredibly smart
Sure, you tell them that the dog can understand up to 10 words and recognises their favourite music, but you can tell they don’t FULLY appreciate how smart your pooch is. Because he’s probably the most intelligent dog in the world.
No one knows more of your secrets, more of your insecurities and more of your life’s gossip than the family dog. Dogs are actually like fluffy, furry counsellors sometimes.
Even when they eat the spines out of your favourite books, or chew one of your runners beyond recognition, or eat your credit card statement, there’s no way to stay annoyed at the dog.
Within seconds of any new item of clothing entering your home, it will be covered in a fine layer of hair. It’s almost impressive, the speed at which the dog can coat things in their fluff.

12 things only dog owners will understand
SOME THINGS IN life, only another dog owner can understand.
Sashay away, cat people. This is about dogs.
1. People don’t get that your dog is actually incredibly smart
Sure, you tell them that the dog can understand up to 10 words and recognises their favourite music, but you can tell they don’t FULLY appreciate how smart your pooch is. Because he’s probably the most intelligent dog in the world.
2. There’s nothing better than your dog welcoming you home
Cuddles from an excited pup can alleviate even the bluest of moods.
3. They can communicate better than people sometimes
Hungry? Tired? Excited? Annoyed? Your dog can get the message across just fine.
4. It’s a disaster if they get at the presses
One DailyEdge.ie staffer had a dog get at an entire bag of Country Store muesli in a cupboard left foolishly ajar. You can imagine how fun that was.
5. Baths always cause a bit of a rift
And don’t even mention the “vet” word. Sulks for weeks.
6. Throw the ball once, and you’re there all afternoon
One does not simply throw the tennis ball once.
7. Letting them off the lead will result in a stinky dog
They WILL find something to roll around in and it WILL stink.
8. The dog knows ALL your grievances
No one knows more of your secrets, more of your insecurities and more of your life’s gossip than the family dog. Dogs are actually like fluffy, furry counsellors sometimes.
9. You haven’t eaten a meal at home in peace for years
The dog will just stare you out of it until you share what you have. Whatever it is. Just share it.
10. No matter what they do, you can’t stay angry
Even when they eat the spines out of your favourite books, or chew one of your runners beyond recognition, or eat your credit card statement, there’s no way to stay annoyed at the dog.
11. Everything you own is covered in hair
Within seconds of any new item of clothing entering your home, it will be covered in a fine layer of hair. It’s almost impressive, the speed at which the dog can coat things in their fluff.
12. They are 100% a member of the family
And only another dog owner will ever understand the awful, genuine pain of losing a family pet.
