Confessions: ALLLLLL the Ways Our Dogs Have Embarrassed Us

Marty and Laura share their most embarrassing stories with their dogs. From obedience exercises gone wrong to inappropriate public ejaculation, and many more incredibly awkward humiliations.

“Dogs don’t process things the same way we do,” Laura said. “If it feels good, it’s good and so whatever it is that makes them feel good, which might be eating all of your entire ham roast that you had for dinner.

Dogs live in a perpetual pleasure zone. That’s their gig.”

“We have to just realize that dogs don’t think like we do,” Marty said, “and they never will and we don’t want them ever to really because the whole point of being friendly with dogs is that they’re dogs.”

“Dogs do terrible things, not because they think it’s funny, but because it feels good to them,” Laura noted. “And it entertains them and it makes them happy. And so while we are often mortified, terrified, devastated, you know, all the emotions that we go through, dogs are just smiling. Their ears flying and their nostrils flaring and they’re having a grand old time.”

“And we really should appreciate dogs for that,” Marty added. “They live in the moment. They don’t plan for the future. They have no recriminations. No guilt. Maybe we should be more like that. I have often thought that we should all be a little bit more like our dogs.”
