Remember that meme circa 2012? FLASHBACK TIME!

Sharing your life with a dog is one of those experiences that changes you. It involves learning what bully sticks are made of (you might not want to do a Google Image search for this one), finding out your dog’s funny scooting across the carpet means he needs his butt squeezed, and investing lots of bones on lint rollers (or just changing your wardrobe to match the color of your dog’s fur. Yes, I’m that person.).

Even the things you say change when you become a pup parent. Things like:

1. “I rescued him, but sometimes I feel like he rescued me, you know?”
