🐾 7 Signs You’re a Certified Dog Spoiler (And Proud of It)
You talk to them in full sentences. You buy them birthday cakes. You’ve rearranged your entire sleep position so they’re comfortable. 🐾✨
And you know what? We’re not judging. We’re celebrating.
Here are 7 signs you are — without question — a Certified Dog Spoiler.
🎂 1. You’ve Celebrated Their Birthday (Properly)
Not just acknowledged it — celebrated it. Cake, candles, maybe a little outfit. Because they deserve a whole day dedicated to them.
💎 Bougie Tip: A pupcake made with peanut butter and banana costs less than $5 to make and will give you content AND joy for days.
🛒 2. You Shop for Them Before You Shop for Yourself
New treat drops? In the cart. Cute harness? Already ordered. Your own new shoes? Maybe next month.
💎 Bougie Tip: That’s not a problem. That’s priorities. Welcome to the club. 💎
📱 3. Their Camera Roll Is Bigger Than Yours
Your phone storage is 90% them, 10% everything else. You have 47 nearly identical photos from the same afternoon and you will not be deleting any of them.
💎 Bougie Tip: Create a dedicated album. ‘Penny & Gizmo’s Greatest Hits.’ You’re welcome.
🛌 4. They Sleep in Your Bed (And You Sleep Around Them)
They have the prime position. You have the edge. And somehow, that’s perfectly fine.
💎 Bougie Tip: If the bed is crowded, a luxury dog bed right next to yours is the bougie compromise. They’re close. You’re comfortable. Everyone wins.
🗣️ 5. You Narrate Their Life Out Loud
‘And now Gizmo is considering the window.’ ‘Penny has decided the treat was beneath her today.’ You provide full commentary. In different voices.
💎 Bougie Tip: Talking to your dog isn’t weird — it’s bonding. Science backs this up. Keep narrating.
🥺 6. You Feel Guilty Leaving Them — Every Single Time
Every. Single. Time. Even if it’s just to get the mail.
💎 Bougie Tip: Leave them with something that smells like you. The guilt doesn’t fully go away, but it helps. For both of you.
✈️ 7. You Factor Them Into Every Major Life Decision
New apartment? Must be pet-friendly. Vacation? Either they come or you’re not going. Job offer? ‘What’s the WFH policy?’ You get it.
💎 Bougie Tip: Building a life around your dog isn’t a sacrifice. It’s a reflection of your values. And that, friends, is the bougie way.
💎 Bougie Truth:
Spoiling your dog isn’t indulgence. It’s love expressed in action. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
