How we begin our morning may dictate how the rest of the day goes, so starting on the right paw with these delightful dog memes may just do the trick!

Being a dog pawrent can be summed up pretty easily.

You wake up to the wagging of a tail in your face, the breath of a dog's mouth inhaling and exhaling right on top of you, and a few licks to your cheeks before you pull yourself from the sweet slumber you were in to let the dog outside to use the bathroom, or go outside with it on a walk. You wake up to the cheer, smile, and morning barks of joy from your little one. Just the mere sound of the jingle of a leash has him running towards you in full flight mode, ready to knock you down for the simplicity of a walk. They teleport to the door, tail still wagging, trying to summon your attention.

One second they're peacefully napping, paws twitching in dreamland, and the next, they're sitting upright and that tail is still wagging its head off! Their eyes are shining in hope that you'll give them what they want. And if they hear the crinkle of the treat bag, be prepared to give them something, because they won't stop until they have it. They might even sneak up behind you for something you're already eating, as we all know the hungry appetite of a doggo. Heaven forbid you sit down for a bite without inviting them, or giving them a piece of what you're eating. They will throw their paws right on the table if they have to just for a bit of your bite. And there you have it! The world of dog pawrenting.

Having a dog is the highlight of your monotonous life. Going to work, doing the little things, or having a bad day all come together in a conglomeration of celebration when you get to come home to your dog waiting for you. Sure, it's not the most convenient thing to have a dog – you have to take it on walks, clean up after him, be careful about where you put your food, and always make sure he's happy, but in the end it can be the most rewarding thing there is. Enjoy these dog memes for dog pawrents and non dog pawrents alike.
