I was at home for the past two weeks and I got to do my favourite thing in the world - spend time with my dog! I am indeed a crazy dog lady. Everyone should be as enamoured with their pets as their pets are with them. This is a fact regardless of age.

I'm a bit of a pushover when it comes to my puppy. 

This wisdom-filled coaster appeared beneath my coconut hot chocolate last week and made me smile almost as much as Rani makes me smile.

As a result, I have decided to share some amazing Rani moments.

Young Rani proving that wrinkles are cute and beautiful - take that cosmetics companies!

My kryptonite - the puppy head tilt.

Sorry Hugh Jackman, this arse is definitely cuter than yours.

Watch out Serena Williams!

Rani is a feminist - she refuses to let patriarchy dictate how women should dress. Don't even think of referring to her as a "bitch".

Everyone's in agreement that bulldogs make the worst guard dogs; they're simply too friendly. Rani guards only one thing - the kitchen (she peers down from the top of the stairs to make sure that there actually is food involved before she makes her way down).

I think this is my mother's way of telling me that she misses me - she dressed Rani up in my school jersey and basher. 

And, in conclusion, a quote that anyone who's been covered in more dog hair and slobber than any actual dogs will wholeheartedly agree with:

"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face." ~ Ben Williams
