Does anyone else's world feel like it's falling apart? We just can't get a win recently. Every traffic light we get to turns red right before we can pass through it, our packed lunch spilled on our way to work twice this week, and it just feels like life is only filled with ruff moments. But then, we come home to our doggo, who doesn't care about any of that stuff. She sees us and immediately runs to greet us, tail wagging, burying her face in our arms and demanding pets. She doesn't care that our day was pawfectly awful; she just wants to be close to us. She makes everything better simply by being herself.

That's why we've collected this canine cage of pawsonal dog memes for all of you dog-lovers who are going through a ruff time right now. These memes are your ridiculous reminder that you have the best medicine for a sad soul right at home, keeping your bed warm while you're at work. It has four paws, and will always be happy to see you. Give yourself a few minutes to laugh it out, and then let's howl together through the hard days. If it's good enough for our puppers, it's good enough for us.

  • We didn't allow our pupper on the bed for the longest time. Then, we moved, and she was really anxious at the new apartment. The only place she felt comfortable was our bed (because we brought it from the last apartment). So she just started relaxing there…. and we never stopped her. It's so cute, though, we kind of wish we had done it sooner.

    Ashley Reisinger @Awritesinger Our dog knows way too many phrases now, so my husband and I have resorted to talking like Victorian nobility to get anything by him. "Have you taken the dog on a brisk adventure recently? Would the canine to the you backyard, forthwith? Has he supped yet?"

  • We're officially saving this meme to send to people when they ask us how we're doing. Yes, we are constantly stressed, but we're working through it. Please be nice to us, though, because we could use a little support. Or a massage. Or cash. Whichever you prefer.
