    Oh yeah I have many of the crazy dog lady items. I might add I place a bowl of water in front of my dogs face to make sure she stays hydrated. I feed my dogs apart so the pup doesn’t steal the older dogs food, I sit on the floor next to her while she eats. I look at them and cry because I can’t get past they will leave me one day and I already know I can’t handle the loss.

    You might be a crazy dog lady if you have to say good night to your dog a dozen times and make sure they’re comfortable for the night yet don’t say good night to anyone else in the house.

    O yeah, I can relate myself to many of these items.
    I plan my days in around the dogs and only leave them with someone I trust if I can’t take them with me. My husband wanted a camper and he was allowed to buy one if the dogs had the room. So he bought an old touringcar and is making it into a touringcamper
