Do you got that dog in you, big dog?

We all have that dog in us. Some are small, some are big, all are silly. Because dogs are the best! So let's celebrate those dogs. We're talking BIG dogs. Those floppy big boulders of fur. They love to still try and sit in your laps, as if all 100lbs of them won't crush you. They look all big and mighty, but if you drop something heavy, they're traumatized for hours. Or, god forbid, there's a thunderstorm rolling in! Time to get out the big dog's weighted blanket. It's pawdorable, honestly. To have such a big creature always be your baby. We love big dogs!

Time to dog. Not little yip yap, we're talking deep Woof Woofs. It's a different experience. Though big dogs can do both. Have you ever heard a big dog's bark go from “intruder alert” to “Oh, hi, Mom! I'm just baby.” It's hilarious and adorable. One more reason big dogs have us swooning.

If I were a big do I would probably be a Belgian Shepherd. Mostly because that is the kind of dog I grew up with when I was little and he was the best. But also because they are to multidimensional. They can get huge and look scary, but they're just fluffy little love dogs. My mom wouldn't let me leave the house alone without our Belgian Shepherd because he was so big, he'd scare everyone off. Little did those scaredy cats know that he wouldn't hurt a fly and the reason he's running and jumping to you is that he wants to lick your face.

The only problem I see with big dogs is that the eat a lot more than little dogs, thus, costing more. Also, they don't tend to live as long as little dogs and that's just so unfair. Actually, all dogs should live 100 years. Period.

It's always the big dogs that are the sweetest. In fact, after having worked with many dogs of all sizes, I tend to be more wary of the little dogs. They seem to have something to prove. But, honestly, who can blame them? Everything and everyone is so much bigger them, though, it must be terrifying to see them all towering over you. Whereas big dogs are the ones towering over you, probably drooling and waiting for the okay to lick your face and jump into your lap and crush your legs.
