Ever wondered what your dog does the moment you close the door? While you imagine them patiently waiting for your return, the reality may be far more dramatic. Here’s a peek into your pup’s top-secret solo activities.
1. They Host Meetings with the Squirrel Council
That intense stare out the window isn’t random. Your dog is tracking every squirrel’s movement, reporting back to their canine contacts on suspected squirrel conspiracies. It’s a full-time job, and they take it seriously.
2. They Master the Art of Furniture Forts
Your couch cushions? Reorganized into a fortress. The throw blanket? Now a royal banner for their canine kingdom. Interior design might not be their specialty, but they’re giving it their best shot.
3. They Audition for “America’s Got Talent” (In Their Head)
Between dramatic howls, expertly timed spins, and impeccable toy-juggling skills, your dog is certain they’d win a talent show. If only you’d leave the camera running.
4. They Host Secret Paw-ties
Dog beds become VIP lounges, and kibble turns into hors d’oeuvres. If your dog has some new chew toys mysteriously scattered around, there’s a good chance they threw a solo bash. (Need to restock? Barks and Buys has you covered.)
5. They Patrol the Perimeter (aka Bark at Everything)
Delivery trucks? Suspicious. Birds? Definitely plotting something. Leaves blowing across the yard? Highly questionable. Your dog’s security detail never takes a break.
6. They Plan Elaborate Welcome-Home Greetings
All that pent-up energy is funneled into a whirlwind of tail wags, zoomies, and joyful leaps when you return. In their mind, this is their Oscar-winning performance.
7. They Daydream About You (Probably)
Between all the chaos, they take breaks to sigh dramatically and think about you—especially if you left a piece of your sock behind as a souvenir.
Help Them Stay Entertained
While your dog’s secret life may seem chaotic, boredom can lead to mischief. Keep them entertained with puzzles, chew toys, and snuffle mats from Barks and Buys to ensure their solo adventures are safe and fun.
So next time you head out, just know your dog isn’t just napping—they’re living their best (and busiest) life!
