20 Problems Only Dog Owners Will Understand

8. That Moment You Realise You Don€™t Have A Bag

Oh € poop. For anyone who doesn't have a dog, this is the equivalent of realising your out of toilet paper before it is too late. This is quite possibly the greatest fear any dog owner may have, if you're caught leaving your dog's waste on the floor then you become public enemy number one. If it hasn€™t happened to you yet, do worry because it will. It€™s a right of passage all dog owners must go through, it€™s a true test of strength, perseverance and creativity€ Screw it, you just end up using a £5 note.

7. Cyclists: Dog€™s Greatest Nemesis

You€™ll be minding your own business, walking along when a harmless cyclist pedals past, however, your dog lurches forward, nearly pulling your arm clean out of its socket and barks madly at the poor person who just wanted a little exercise. Seriously, what is it with cyclists and dogs?

6. The Consequences Of Letting Your Dog Off The Lead

When letting your dog off the lead you€™re putting the ultimate trust in them to behave and not run off never to be seen again. Fortunately, 99% of the time everything goes to plan, that 1% though? That€™s the trickiest walk you€™ll ever experience in your life as you try your absolute hardest to chase down the disobedient mutt (who probably went off chasing squirrels or deer) and put the leash back on them before they can do any damage. You just pray deep down you don€™t fall victim to being the next youtube star in the making.

5. Meeting A New Friend Or Foe

The tension that comes with introducing your dog to another is overwhelming at times. Are they friendly? What if your dog isn€™t? Do they bite? Do you mention €˜He€™s friendly€™? Will they bark and scare the children? Most of the time, the pups will happily bark and chase each other, while also discovering the secrets of the universe inside each other's butts. The that's that and all your tension and worry is for nothing, but you can€™t help but fear the day you carelessly introduce your dog to the next Cujo on crack.

4. Vacuum! Run You Fools!

You can never clean your house in peace. They don€™t know what this device is, they just know it makes a horrid sound, it is probably a monster that wants to claim the souls of the family and they hate it. You can€™t hoover your carpet without your dog completely freaking out.
