I came across this post of why sleeping with your dog is awesome a few days ago, and while I agree with these very warm and loving ideas, here are a few more that come to mind.
One of Fit’s favorite pictures
1. You don’t need to buy an alarm clock. Once you wake your dog up at 5:30 for a week straight, your dog will wake you up at 5:30 forever. Good luck trying to sleep in on the weekends. (Weekends don’t exist anymore.)
2. Since you’re waking up at 5:30 every morning, you get to start the morning with a nice little dog walk or run. First workout done by six in the morning, might as well do another later. (Now you’ll fit in that new bathing suit for summer.)
3. If you’re home, covered in sweat from your run, by 6:00 then you should really shower before you go to work. Remember all those times you skip the shower because you’re cold? Then you’re the gross, smelly person at work. Not anymore. (Trust me, we know you didn’t shower.)
4. Since we’re talking about hygiene, nobody likes to wash their bed sheets. Laundry is expensive and time-consuming so you always convince yourself that they look clean, so they are clean. All that dog hair says differently. (End of the first date? You’re welcome.)
5. Who likes waking up in the middle of the night with a spider, cockroach, or other creepy crawly in their bed sheets? No one. Good thing they’ll be nowhere near you since they know the dog will eat them. (We have NO bugs in the house.)
I hope you’ve been convinced to get a dog now. They’ll give you all the benefits listed above and a ton of love. Just make sure you love them back and treat them like they’re a part of your family. (Only applicable if you like your family!) And as always, stay hungry and fit!
Now we know the real reason you got a dog….no spiders in your house! xxO
