Updated September 6, 2021

I'm a proud pet parent to a beautiful, wonderful, hell raiser of a puppy. And while I have nothing but pure love for him, there are days where I think, "Yep, the struggle is most definitely real."

No one ever said owning a pet would be easy, of course. But sometimes you just gotta wonder if it's not supposed to be just a teeny, tiny bit easier than this.

Still, we adore our pets, and we can at least take comfort in knowing we aren't the only people out there struggling to raise them right. Here are some fantastic quotes that I think all you pet parents out there will definitely relate to.

I spring out of bed like it's a catapult.

That alarm clock would be both the best and worst thing to happen to me, because I would never accidentally sleep late again, but I would also start every morning with the heart-pounding fear that my carpet's about to get destroyed.
