Mornings can be ruff (no pun intended).

 No one likes to be woken up by the ringing of an alarm clock while they were just in a slumbered sleep dreaming of running through fields with their mut. But having a dog makes those mornings all the better. Who doesn't love waking up to the smile and serenity of a dog on top of you, wagging its tail, and touching you for good morning pets (and to go outside, of course). 

Most people need coffee to start their morning, but when you're a dog owner you may just need a snuggle with the pupper. As you pour food into your dog's breakfast bowl, you pour yourself some quick breakfast as well, and contemplate the day's tasks ahead. Whether you work in an office, at a restaurant, or you are work from home, you'll be thinking about your precious doggo during the day, sipping coffee, and just eager to go home and see the dog again. 

Have you ever just had a hard day, the kind of day where exhausting doesn't begin to cover the layers of negativity cooped up inside of you? Where the malarkey of everyday conversations with the barista or your funny coworker just doesn't seem to instill the same symptoms of serenity like they once did? The days where you crave being a small and insignificant inchworm to hide from countenances, eye contact, and empty conversations you'd rather not have. But it does come to an end. You get home, and who's there to greet you? Your adorable, heartwarming, wholesome doggo. 

Having a pet is like soaring through life with a super power. Everything you do is colored by a furry friend who you can always pet, cuddle, kiss, and rely on. If you have a pet you just can't wait to see when you get home, then these memes are for you. Here's to cute doggies to cheer you up on a day that doesn't feel yours.
