They’re cuddly, loyal, and the embodiment of unconditional love – dogs certainly are our best friends. But what happens when that playful pawing turns into persistent clawing? Or when those adorable barks at the mailman become a non-stop cacophony of howls at 2 AM?

No matter how many old grubby shoes you send their way, dogs will love biting into brand-new sneakers that cost you a good chunk of your pay packet.
Granted, most dogs will grow out of the chewing phase, but they have already cost you $1000’s in shoes by then.

One user said that their dog “insists that we go to bed when he is ready to go to bed.”
“He will stand in the hallway, look into the living room, and just whine endlessly until one of us relents.” We can relate to this one!

That turkey that was resting before carving looked the best that I have ever cooked, that is, until my dog swiped it and ate it all in one go!

There is a reason there is a saying, “Don’t give me those puppy dog eyes.”
Barking at Everything

No, Champ, that is not a burglar that is just the owner next door casually taking her granddaughter for a walk. Please be quiet.

“Oh, what is that you have in your mouth Snoop? Oh, it’s my invitation to my next dental appointment that I now have no idea when it is”

Dogs always seem to head for the muddy puddles the morning after a long bath the night before. We need the energy for yet another bath and scrub the trail of mud you left along the carpet.

When they cannot find any food to steal, they sit staring at you from under the dinner table and beg you for another bite. No wonder the vet is telling me off for you putting in too much weight.
Bringing us Little Presents from The Yard

It is not only our small children. We need to wake up to help them go to the toilet. Zzzzzzzz.

Licking Everything

One online reader agrees with this one when they said, “He (their dog) goes into my room and licks my bed and pillows. It gets so wet that it looks like I got a bucket and water and dumped it on it.”

Not a bad thing sometimes, but when we have a deadline, we don’t need our dogs lying across our laptops.

You feel embarrassed when your dog is dragging you across the park, and you don’t have the energy to keep up.
Shedding

Dog shedding can be a nightmare “Oh, how we love our dogs, but oh, how we hate our vacuum cleaners.”
