Do you know what time it is? Time to pet your pet!

Or someone else's pet. Whatever gets your hand atop a cutie little doggo is the way to go. There is nothing more stress-relieving than petting a dog. A good boy wagging his tail as you scratch behind their ears?? Seriously, sign me up. That sounds like heaven. And my heart is bursting right now just at the thought of it. I am petless currently, and it is weird. If I were to pass you with your dog, please let me pet them. Please?

Let me tell you about the other day when I couldn't stop crying for two hours because I was thinking about my sweet fur baby girl who passed over six years ago. Maybe that will convince you to let me pet my dog.

Well, I came across a video that said dogs and humans have the same chemical reaction that mothers have with their newborn babies. Which then led me to realize I was a grieving mother. Which then took me down the path of scrolling through the old photo album I have of videos and photos of my late baby, and wow, grief is wild. Anyways, two hours later, I had to put the photo album down and start to try and reenter society. Luckily, I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood, and a quick walk down the street and I have lots of dogs to pet. That always makes me feel better. So just think about it this way: if you let me pet your dog, you're actually helping heal my heart a little. That's great humanitarian work, bestie!

So, here are some wholesome and silly dog memes that will make you LOL. In exchange, if you see a sad girl strolling down the street, let her pet your dog. Thanks.
