When Your Dog Pretends Other Dogs Don’t Exist

You ever notice how some pets are absolute masters of pretending the world around them doesn’t exist? My dog, Max, has perfected the art. Every evening, the neighbor’s poodle, Bella, puts on a full-volume performance—barking, yapping, narrating her entire life story to the block. Max? He sits on the porch, staring stoically into the distance like he’s contemplating the meaning of life. Not a single ear twitch. Not a glance. If Bella was on fire, I’m pretty sure Max would just sigh and look away. I used to think he was being polite, but now I’m convinced he’s just over the drama. Honestly, I wish I could channel that level of zen when people start oversharing in group chats. Pets really are the unbothered kings and queens we aspire to be. Anyone else’s furball just tune out the neighborhood chaos? #PetLife #DogPerson #RelatablePets #Pets
