I may not own any dogs of my own, but I grew up having them around the house and I do love them. Sometimes I struggle with dog allergies, but I've found that if I just do a good job of not touching my face after petting them, then nothing goes wrong. This was a very important habit to continue as I would be staying with four dogs for almost a week while visiting my brother.
You may have already seen me talk about my mom's two dogs Tito and Fritz. They rode up with us, but my brother's two dogs Nala and Littleton were up there waiting for us to join.
I love all four of the dogs in different ways. Fritz is just the most well-behaved and cute little dog ever. Tito is so loveable, yet very hyper and always down to play. Nala is the best guard dog, the most loyal and obedient girl ever. Then Littleton is a sweet little boy who loves to cuddle and seems to be especially fond of me. We are lucky that none of the dogs are demons like our old toy poodle Remy, RIP🪦.
Being around these dogs so much made it really hard to not snap some photographs of them. All of them are pretty good at striking cute poses, but it still isn't easy to capture the image before they move. Let's just say I took way more bad photos than good ones. However, I will of course only be showing you the best photos of the bunch today.
There were times when they'd all start barking at random people walking by the living room window or loud cars, but for the most part, they were very well-behaved. There were zero piss/shit accidents in the house. I just can't deal with dogs who don't understand that outside is the bathroom. I'm so glad all four of our family dogs get that and are patient to go outside to relieve their bladder or drop a deuce.
Despite all of the good times with the dogs, I still didn't really have any desire to have one of my own. It's fun to see dogs occasionally and enjoy the best parts of them. However, taking on the responsibility of owning one, paying for all of their needs, and dealing with their issues just isn't for me. I'm way too happy in life to willingly invite the possibility of stress like that. It's not to say that I wouldn't one day own another dog, because anything is possible. It just seems that where I am right now, especially where I live, having a dog around really isn't the move for me.
There's a whole bunch of cute photos for you to enjoy. Comment below which of the dogs you think is the cutest.
