We’ve all been there: plastering a smile on our faces while pretending to like our neighbor’s dog. 🐶😅 Whether it’s the endless barking or the surprise ‘gifts’ left on your lawn, we sometimes have to feign enthusiasm for the sake of neighborhood harmony. Let’s dive into the 10 telltale signs that you’re putting on a show for your neighbor’s furry friend.
1. You know the dog’s name, but still call it “buddy” just to be safe. 🐕🤷♂️
2. You politely laugh when it jumps on you, secretly hoping it doesn’t ruin your outfit. 🐾😬
3. You keep treats in your pocket, but only offer them when your neighbor is watching. 🍖👀
4. You nod vigorously at every long-winded story about the dog’s antics. 🙄👍
5. You always manage to be “just leaving” when they suggest a playdate. 🚪💨
6. You say “Aww!” even when it’s chewing on your favorite garden gnome. 🥲🪴
7. You compliment its coat, secretly thinking it could use a bath. 🚿🐾
8. You insist it must be the breed’s fault when it doesn’t listen. 🤔🤷
9. You act impressed by its new trick, which is just sitting… again. 😐👏
10. You share stories about your imaginary childhood pet to match their enthusiasm. 🐱📚
