Is it normal to be obsessed with your dog?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—it’s normal to adore your dog and think they’re the best thing ever. It’s only worth rethinking if the obsession is getting in the way of your dog’s needs or the rest of your life.

Dogs are lovable little weirdos, and caring for one can make the bond feel enormous. Lots of people talk to their dogs, take too many photos, and arrange their day around getting home to them. You’re in very good company.

The only real line is whether your devotion is crowding out your dog’s wellbeing, your own responsibilities, or relationships you care about. Otherwise, go ahead and be a little ridiculous about your dog—that’s part of the deal.
