Ever wonder what your dog gets up to while you’re at work, running errands, or out with friends? Sure, the chewed-up shoes and shredded loo roll might give you a clue – but there’s a whole lot more going on when you’re not around. Let’s peek into the not-so-secret life of your pup.
1. Party for one
Your dog doesn’t need guests to throw a paw-ty. Toys become VIPs, water bowls double as spilled drinks, and zoomies around the sofa are basically a dance floor. The living room mess? Just evidence of a good time.
2. Netflix and woofs?
Some dogs really do watch TV. Fast movement, bright colours, barking animals – it’s basically their binge-watch dream. Bonus points if they bark at the squirrel on screen.
3. The great escape
Whether it’s sneaking into the kitchen, swiping socks from the laundry, or edging out through an open door, dogs love a challenge. Call them mischievous, or call them problem-solvers.
4. That “guilty” look
Tail tucked, eyes wide, head down. We’ve all seen it. They might not feel guilt exactly, but they definitely know when you’re not thrilled. Smart little actors, aren’t they?
5. Nap goals
Truth is, most of your dog’s “secret life” is probably napping. Anywhere from 12-18 hours a day! And yes, those twitchy paws mean they’re dreaming of squirrels, fields, or meeting up with their pals.
6. Snack bandits
Food mysteriously missing from the counter? Bin mysteriously tipped over? That’s not your imagination – it’s your pup’s side hustle as a professional snack thief.
7. Paper shredders in disguise
Toilet roll, tissues, even your post – dogs love to rip it all up. Don’t take it personally; it’s their version of arts and crafts.
So, no, your dog isn’t throwing wild parties with the neighbour’s spaniel (well, probably). But whether they’re snoozing in the sunshine, raiding snacks, or redecorating with shredded paper, one thing’s for sure: life’s never boring when a dogs in charge of the house.
