20 Problems Only Dog Owners Will Understand

17. Those People Who Dress Up Their Dog

That seriously awkward moment when your pup comes across some pampered leather jacket wearing chihuahua with #Swag on their collar. Why? Seriously, why do people do that? They are not an accessory, a Barbie doll or your child, it€™s a dog that would rather roll in the mud and play fetch than wear a tutu. Judgment for anyone who dresses their poor pup like a Tinkerbell. Judgment!

16. Will You Just Pee Already!

This is more relatable to those living in an apartment with pets or don€™t have access to a garden. You have to take your pup out for a toilet visit so they don€™t go on the bedroom carpet; the only problem is they take an eternity to decide where to go. It's early in the morning, you look a mess and are in your pyjamas and slippers. You're freezing your butt off while your dog sniffs out every square meter of the grassy area they visit every day before deciding upon the appropriate spot to go. What is so damn special about that spot?

15. Thunderstorms

You can€™t help but feel for your long-suffering pup during a thunderstorm. The ear deafening crackle in the air, the unpredictability of it, you just want to pull them into your arms and remind them soothingly they€™ll be fine. They run around the house making a racket, hide under the furniture and chew the legs in frustration or howl at the window as loud as they possibly can. Of course, if this happens at night then you are not sleeping, and neither are your neighbours.

14. Love Is Not Free

No one warns you how expensive having a dog is; the insurance, vet bills, toys, grooming and food €“ it all starts to pile up (not to mention the money you spend on new socks and shoes). Having a dog can almost be as expensive as having a car.
