  • Dogs deserve the world. A furball nugget of a brain is wrapped up in the sweetest, slobberiest doggo package, and dog lovers are just expected to treat them like any other pet? No! Dogs are a bone-a-fide member of the family. Canines are not only man's best friend, but they're the embodiment of adorable, innocent energy, good intentions, and unescapable clumsiness. Dogs remind humans how to really be the good boys and good girls that we aspire to become, and they're the living, breathing, barking examples of what it looks like to give life 100% of our positivity.

  • They may dig holes in the backyard, bark at the mailman, and kick you out of the bed when you sleep, but dogs are sweeter than the caramelized center of a hot lava cake. Oozing with cute vibes and jittering with post-work excitement, dogs are always happy to see their humans, especially after a long day in the office. Even when life is feeling ruff, dogs are there for us, ready to go on a walk in the snow, cuddle on the couch, or slop down the same serving of kibbles that they've eaten for the past 3 years.

  • Cherish your furbaby, because while we only get to be their companions for a few years out of our lives, we are their everything for an entire lifetime. With that in mind, I think I'll go kiss my own dog, Murphy, on the forehead. He's been barking all day out the window while he's watching Doggy TV (the neighborhood passersby), and it's been getting on my nerves a little, but deep down, I know he's just protecting me. Murphy is the goodest boy, even when he's feeling spicy, and I can always count on him to ramp up the excitement whenever I drop down an inch, reach for a toy, or rummage around the cheese drawer. 

    Bring that same level of pawsitivity and excitement to the rest of your day, because each day we have is a week in dog-time; enjoy every second of the walk around the block.
