I’m not shy about loving dogs. I grew up surrounded by them. But while I love their energy, their penchant for unconditional love, and their undisputable cuteness, I recently discovered that there is such a thing as too much dog. When 5 huge dogs (including a Grand Pyrenees, a Mastiff-Rotteweiler mix, and a pitbull) get together, it can be overwhelming to say the least. And 3 nights of sleeping on a couch in the designated dog zone? Supremely chaotic, but you make do when visiting family. Needless to say, I was happy to get back to the relative quiet of my apartment, and my relatively calm cats. 

After that experience, I’ve been more than pleased to enjoy dogs vicariously: at the park, in our Brooklyn office, and, of course, on the Internet. And while cute dog pics are always a pleasure to enjoy, we happen to be more interested in dog memes. Because, y’know, Memebase. So without further ado, here are our favorite of the many, many dog memes we enjoyed this week. We hope you enjoy them, too.
