Being a dad < being a dog dad. 

Being a pet pawrent is a lot of work. Of course, it's nothing compared to being a real parent, with kids running around, a mortgage to pay, and a family to take care of. Being a parent has it's ups and downs, and even if it's so much devoted and constant work, it's worth it when you see your tiny tot grow up, become a real human, and have a deep relationship with the person. But there's always being a dog dad if you don't want the responsibility of children. 

A dog dad is different; it's kind of like being the fun uncle, but you still get to snuggle with the little guy. You two can take trips together, go on hikes, go to restaurants, share life together, while still being father and son in the best, most wholesome way possible. There's a specific kind of joy that only dog dads truly understand. They're called man's best friend for a reason! With their adorable stature, their devoted stares, and their unconditional commitment to keeping you company, greeting you at the door every time you come home, and snuggling you whenever you need a hug, they make themselves into something that's arguably better than humans. It's the joy of muddy walks that somehow feel worth it, of early mornings that begin with nose boops instead of alarms, and of coming home to a creature who treats your return like the highlight of their entire existence. 

For dog dads, wholesomeness becomes a marker for your health. It becomes your own unique way of checking in on yourself, of seeing how much you've evolved. It plays a mirror in your life, and when you can really appreciate that mirror is when you realize that your dog was the one who catalyzed your commitment to loving wholesomeness, chillness, and making it apart of your day-to-day. The relationship with your dog isn't performative, it's the bread and butter of what you feel like you have in the world. The memes below are the best memes to share with your dog, to appreciate wholesomeness, and to honor the bond between you two.
