Dogs are the best. There’s just something in the feels that regardless of how long you’re gone they’re always happiest around you.
I wake up before my pups, go into my office. My gf wakes up with the dogs, and they come sprinting around the corner wagging their tails still groggy. It’s the best.
I can relate a lot to the dog discussion. But they, and specifically my Harper, are the best.
And @Randy im sure you have heard the suggestion before, but I give my highest recommendation to a robot vacuum that unloads itself until its own hopper for a shedding dog. Saves our house and my allergies.
