To have fallen in love with a puppy

This is MN so everyone will say I am BU and dogs should be banned but a golden lab pup came in a cafe when I was having lunch and I have lost my heart.

So AIBU to exchange my children for this adorable dog (not really but you know)

and even if you don’t like dogs AIBU to think you’d have loved him too!

We have a 6 month old puppy and he's lucky he's the cutest thing in the world. People stop on the street to squeal at him but they don't know that deep inside he is a horrible bitey landshark wearing a fur suit he almost certainly stole from an innocent old lady.

I love him so much.

You are most definitely NBU.

My customers all know that I will make the right noises when someone has had a baby, however, if they get a puppy they have to bring it in for me to see IMMEDIATELY, and I have to get to stroke at least one of its ears.

I have never been baby broody, but show me a puppy and I am lost.

Agree that puppies are evil little land sharks in disguise. They keep you awake all night, chew everything in sight (especially expensive shoes / trainers), bite your ankles / legs / hair / face if you let them anywhere near you, cost an absolute fortune.. The list of misery is endless.

So yes, definitely get one 😀

We're 4 years into the puppy phase and it's just about getting easier 🤗

You are being VERY unreasonable 😏
My puppy is an absolute arsehole

That pissed off look is legendary tbf

Herdinggoats · 20/03/2024 15:12

Puppys are arseholes. The cute eyes and fluffy bottoms is how they trick you.

Id get another tomorrow if I had the room.

I'm nine years in with my twat, and she's still awful.

@JamieJ93 does your absolute cutie have his own camp bed in the lounge?
He's bloody handsome

I go all gooey over puppies. Even though we have dogs at home! It's instinct I think, a bit like when some people see a human baby.
Can't believe you didn't get a photo for us :-(

Puppies are the best. When I'm expected to look at a photo of a human baby I often have to imagine them as a puppy in order to provide the socially accepted response and not my usual "yep, it's a baby."

They are arseholes though.

Mybeautifuldogs · 20/03/2024 15:25

I heard someone outside the doorway of a shop say "awwww so cute" the other day, I casually walked out, and was disappointed to see it was a baby and not a puppy 🤣

Here's my girls anyway.

Everyone loves him.in the park because he grins and prances like a pony.

There is a solid gold reason why puppies look so cute: they are arseholes.

I mean, I love dogs and intend to always have at least one - but puppies are the cutest little devils ever. They are such hard work for very little short term payback - they have to look cute so you don't just pop them out on the doorstop again to fend for themsleves Grin

I love puppies... other peoples' puppies that is, much like babies I can hand them back & don't have to deal with all the things that come with them.

I've only raised one dog from a pup for this reason, although I'm inflicting another one on myself later this year.

I think this next one will be slightly easier though, my first was a rescue & a livestock guarding breed, so a little ball of fluff should be a doddle.

Starlight1979 · 20/03/2024 16:12

@Drowningnotwaving74 Oh my goodness bull terriers are my absolute favourite. Ok you've convinced me to get another dog.

He's less landshark like now.
He does evil kneval round the walls when doing a zoom though.

Just get him over the girls smell beautiful thing and he will be back to being my favourite man

Golden Retrievers are gorgeous. I'd forgotten how much hard work puppies are so it's a good job he was so cute. He's 9 months now, over 4 stones & still thinks he's my lap dog!

O my goodness he is lush 😍
I used to be scared of EBT and then I met one in real life SO LOVELY!!

Tumbleweed101 · 20/03/2024 17:03

I love puppies... to look at...

I much prefer my 5yr old pest now than when he was a puppy even if he doesn't look so cute 😆

Shivermetimbers0112 · 20/03/2024 17:08

New pup, zero regrets, he can chew whatever he wants…..

My dog was an arsehole as a puppy although her face always made me forgive her. Now she is 3 and an angel. You get so much enjoyment from dogs but they do smell and they don't live long

frankie001 · 20/03/2024 17:12

Neither of these are puppies, but small enough to be! Boy dog can be an asshole, girl dog can do no wrong!

I was feeling tired and a bit tense when I opened this thread. Now I am a soft lump of goo. The photos were effective enough, but when I read I went to stroke him and he put his paw in my hand I totally melted. Aaaaaah.

Thanks, all, for the free therapy!
