2. When your dog starts barking in the middle of the night and it makes NO SENSE.

3. That humiliating moment when you accidentally say your dog's adorable breed name wrong.

4. When you realize you work harder at this relationship than they do (but you know that won't change anything).

5. That moment you realize you'd rather be unemployed than stop cuddles.

6. That moment when you realize you'd maybe rather actually die than stop cuddles.
