You’ll recognize a puppy person by a certain faraway look in their eyes…is it love? Amazement? Mere exhaustion and sleeplessness? If they’re raising a puppy, it’s probably a combination of all of the above.
While dog people in general have an awful lot in common, there are certain truths that only someone who’s raised a puppy is familiar with. From the yuck factor (the way they walk through their own poop) to the awww factor (the way they squeak in their dreams), we’ve compiled 14 things only someone with a puppy can understand.

Shoes, arms, teddy bears, other members of the family…a puppy is liable to fall asleep anywhere.
There is literally nothing cuter than puppy sneezes…
…except maybe puppy snores
Froglegs are a delicious treat
The world is one giant piddle pad
Paper towels are no match for sharp puppy teeth
Much like their smaller counterpart, the toilet paper roll, paper towels in a puppy household are always at risk of attack.

The best part of your day is the best part of your puppy’s day, too: the moment you get home.
Love my 4 month old Boston Terrier. She snores, whines, burps, and farts. Fits into to the family just great.
I’ve had puppy fever for almost 3 years now. I adopted Magnolia at 8 weeks of age (was told she’d be 45lbs max! She’s now 2 1/2 years old and 75lbs) She’s still my wonderful lovable puppy that I can’t wait to wake up to in the morning. I adopted Angelica this year on New Years Eve, 8 weeks old and a Blue Merle Corgi. Oh my gosh, such an adorable puppy! Nothing like having 2 puppies in the house playing all the time and two times the snuggling. Still suffering puppy fever…Angelica is 11 months old now, and as playful as ever but in one month, I’m adopting her half sister Veronica when she’s a legal 8 weeks old! Three puppies in the house and I can’t wait! Some people think I’m nuts but I can’t think of a better way to spend my days and nights. Once Veronica is here, my little ‘fur family’ will be complete and the 4 of us can grow old together!
My puppy is now 5yrs old, but i love everything about him. It may have taken him 9 months to figure out potty training or realize furniture was not edible, but i would not trade him for the world!!
My Puggle puppy just turned a year old, and still samples everything with his mouth, which is a problem because poop is his favorite treat (the deer and cat variety especially). He’s already had giardia because of his “tastes.” And I’m a neurotic mess when we go to our little dog park (we have no fenced yard), because we live in the Oregon woods, where all sorts of nasty toadstools and fungi abound. After learning of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s puppy, who died after eating a poisoned mushroom, I’ve decided to get my puppy a Puzzle (Pug muzzle). He’ll hate it, but part of me would die if anything happened to him!
I have a 10 week old Golden puppy girl named Lucy…omg adorable…so much fun. The dribbles? Well we have long way to
Go ????
