Swipe Right for Dogs

Hey people! I have been in and out of the dating scene for as long as I can remember. After almost each and every new interaction with a potential significant other, I’m left feeling empty, rejected and most of all – hurt. So people of the world, instead of looking for a soulmate I suggest you look for a dog to adopt. I know this concept has been stated before but I’m here to validate it for you. Sure, finding the right pup may be a lot of work – but unlike people, dogs are never disappointing – so the search will definitely be worth it. First things first, a dog will never care what you look like. You don’t need a new outfit. You don’t need to style your hair. You don’t even have to bathe. A dog will love you in evening attire or in pajamas. When starting to date someone, I always worry about “I wonder if he’ll like me when I’m sweaty” or “I wonder if he’ll like me when I don’t have make up on.” Dogs literally do not care. Are you familiar with the term “ghosting?” Ghosting is when you think everything is going great and then all of the sudden the person you were interested in just stops communicating with you out of the clear blue sky. It sucks. It’s one of the most cowardly ways to tell someone,

“Hey, this isn’t working out for me.” Dogs do not EVER practice the ghosting trend. When you leave your pup at home, they are always there when you get back. Upon your arrival, they are ALWAYS happy to see you. If a dog had the ability to text or call you, they would. It’s such a great feeling. You’ll soon be thinking, “Why did I waste all my time trying to find a human?” Dogs are also very agreeable creatures. They’ll join you on almost any adventure (minus the vet of course). Do you want to relax on the sofa? A dog will happily join you. Do you want to go to the beach? A dog will be thrilled to go. Do you want to take a joy ride in the car? A dog would love to accompany you. They just want to be with you – and isn’t that all we want – for someone who just wants to be with us? Look no more – a pup at your local rescue or shelter wants Y O U. Dogs aren’t the best at buying gifts. Most of them don’t have jobs and can’t drive a car. However, when a dog offers up their favorite toy or favorite blanket – you will feel so honored. Money can’t buy that feeling. Who needs an engagement ring when Rover just presented you with an amazing pinecone from the yard?! It’s such a treasure. Dogs are also extremely helpful when you decide that you want to throw yourself back out on the market (I don’t advise putting yourself out there, but to each their own). Dogs have a great sense of character. If you introduce the person you’re dating to your dog and they do not like him/her – SAY GOODBYE. I know it sounds irrational, but I mean it. Every time a person meets my dog and my dog acts out, I’m like, “Hmm… that was weird.” THEN magically, weeks later, the person was actually NOT a good person. I may have been fooled – but my dog was not. (This has happened on multiple occasions.) So, if you’re planning on a long term relationship with someone – make sure your dog approves. After reading this I’m sure you’re thinking, “Wow this chick is really jaded” – and the answer is yes, I really am jaded. I do have two great dogs and a couple of other foster dogs waiting for me though and I know they will never let me down. Humans have broken my heart time and time again. A dog makes me feel appreciated, happy and most of all “whole.” So what are you waiting for?! Go rescue your new four legged best friend today!
