12 Weird Things We SECRETLY Do As Dog Owners

Let’s face it–we’re absolutely crazy about our pups. So crazy, in fact, that sometimes we act a little weird around our canine companions. Whether it’s baking them special treats or talking to them like they’re wittle babies, you know that your non-dog crazy friends would totally tease you if they knew how you really treat your dog.

But that’s okay, we understand. For every weird little way you show your dog love, there’s another person out there who does the same thing. Here are 12 weird things we dog owners do that we try to keep secret–but don’t worry, your secret’s safe with us!

1. Give your dog a ton of weird nicknames.

Your friends may have heard you call your pup “Sweetie” or even “Fluffbutt,” they haven’t heard the more colorful nicknames like “Mushy Maggy Moo Moo ” or “Snugz-a-rooni.”

But you just wuv your puppy wuppy so much!

3. Refer to yourself as “Mommy” or “Daddy.”

As in, “Daddy loves you” or “Give Mommy kisses!”

  1. I don’t think it’s weird that people consider them self a “parent” to a dog we raise them we love them
    We provide for them just like a human baby they’re a baby to many of us so therefor I am a dad

  2. #7 irks me. I love my baby girl (Jack Russell/German Shepard mix) and I wish I could take her everywhere, but we still need to respect those who have allergies to dogs. That is why I get so mad when I see people bring in their dogs to grocery stores and put them in their basket. Your dogs dander could cause someone’s asthma to be aggravated or the dogs dander could get on someone’s food. I’m very allergic to cats and I would lose it if I saw someone bring a cat into a grocery store. Unless the dog is outside of a cart with a service dog vest on it has no place in a place that sells or serves food.
