Why a Dog Roommate is the Best Roommate

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNH chapter.

You know your roommates a dog if…..

1. It’s almost impossible to spot all of the fluff from the torn up and ripped apart stuffed animals. Not to mention the battle of vacuuming while the dog is trying to bite it like it’s about to take over the world and steal all their treats. 

2. When you finally reach Friday and you have a night out, you come back to some pee on the kitchen floor and other surprises in places that should be outside. But hey – isn’t that what the cutely decorated doggie bags are for? 

 

3. You’re so late for class and you don’t have a minute to spare. You wouldn’t dare look back at your dog that knows how to do the “puppy eyes” so well you can’t bare to hear the little pouts when you finally shut the door to walk to class. 

4. Next thing you know you’re in Rite Aid looking for those new “Durham, New Hampshire” t-shirts ($4.99 – what a bargain) and you catch yourself looking over your shoulder to the “dog treats & toys” isle. 

5. When the boy you crush on comes over, but it’s obvious he has a bigger crush on your furry roommate. 

6. Those little furs you find on your yoga pants DON’T come completely come off in the wash – ever. 

7. You find yourself in a group message with your other roommates constantly texting about how the pup knocked down a shelf – oh and apparently it’s $35 to repair a pair of shades for the window. 

8. Don’t be alarmed, that tail-wagging slobbery kissing creature is just your roommate coming to greet you after a long day of class. It will definitely take care of any bad day!
