Midweek mellows? Dogs have never heard of her.

When the week reaches its midweek slump, most people give in to the melancholy. The piling of work just keeps on going as if the weekend is not halfway through the week away. The to-do list keeps on getting longer while your breaks keep getting shorter. The coffee becomes colder and colder, and honestly, caffeine just isn't enough anymore. But you know who doesn't care about all of this? Your pawdorable pupper, waiting for you back at home with a smile and a tail wag.

When your dog sees you through the door after a long day of work away, there's no happier creature on Earth than them at that point in time. Dogs make us happier, and that's proven by dogs themselves, their happy humans, and actually by science as well. It's a known fact that people who have dogs are happier people than avarage. And honestly? Sounds legit. We know that we're all happy being dog pawrents, having a cute canine BFF, living for the moment we see them at the door after a long day.

If Karen had a dog, she would bark at the tree for making a leaf fall next to her in autumn, threatening that she would never return to mark her territory on it.
If Karen had a dog, she would look at another dog across the park straight in the eye, and if he dared look back, she would complain to the park management to report harassment.
If Karen had a dog, she would cancel plans outright, despite being planned weeks in advance, only because she forgot she had a haircut appointment at the groomer, and that's always more important than anything.
If Karen had a dog, she would be this dog exactly.

That's not only a cat thing - the Committee Against Vacuum Cleaners has decreed: no more vroom vroom when the pets are nearby.
But we get it. Dogs hate the vacuum cleaner too, because it's loud to the point that the sound is everywhere. Dogs' hearing is significantly better than ours, and loud sounds like the vacuum cleaner might be scary for them.
So, you know, just try living with the dust, will you?
