But the poor dog just looks so ashamed.

You have to man-up and do what needs to be done!
LOL If I don't have a bag, they can find a way to get it out themselves! I will NOT touch poo with my bare hands. That is where I draw the line lol

LOL me either! I may be the only woman in Richmond Tx that buys Latex gloves by the gross! On walks, I always have one tucked in my back pocket (just for those dingleberry emergencies).

i never thought i'd fall in love with a little, furry, big-headed, big-nosed creature... and still feel the exact same way 14 years later.

OR

that i'd do things like buy a KING-size blanket for my couch just so i'd stay covered when he sprawls out and takes over. (because, you know, with the little blankets, suddenly you find only one leg covered.) do you know how big a king size blanket is? it's huge, that's how big it is.

OR

that i'd drive 500-miles roundtrip every eight weeks for a year to the speciality vet because he got sick and no one nearby could treat it.

OR

that instead of making him move when i wake up in the middle of the night to find that he's migrated to the middle of the bed, i contort myself into a pretzel to make sure he stays comfortable.

ahhh. the things you do for love.

I can sure relate to the bed thing I have 3 goofy fur babies and instead of just moving them over I also contort myself so as not to wake them up or disturb them in any way. Sometimes I end up gripping the edge of the bed so as not to fall out because that's all the space i am allowed and it's a gueen size bed for gosh sakes

Has anybody else actually gotten out of bed walked around and gotten back in on the other side rather than waking the dogs to get them to move over?

Yup - I did this when DH was on travel and I would let the fur-kids up with me. They would push me to the edge & I'd just go around rather than trying to move them all over!

Did you all do all of this stuff for your human children? I think not. Yes, I have dogs.

To be honest unfortunately I did not have children. These dogs are my children and I do think I would have done if for a human child as well. That's just me.
