Valentine’s Day is almost here. Considering that it’s a day all about love, a lot of people don’t exactly love the holiday. In fact, some of you may be a bit anxious about it.

Listen, my friend… there’s no need to fret. I’m going to let you in a on a little secret. Humans are fine and all, but they’re totally overrated.
The best Valentine is the canine kind. Seriously, canines are where it’s at. (To paraphrase my favorite fashionable movie, Valencanines are so hot this year.)
Still not convinced? That’s okay. I’ve got ten reasons that dogs make better Valentines than their human counterparts…
- You don’t have to make extravagant plans for Valentine’s Day. Just set aside some snuggle time, and you’re golden.

- You don’t have to stress about making a reservation at a fancy restaurant.
No reservation needed (via giphy.com)
- There’s no need for clever dinner conversation. (Billy Joel would be pleased.)

- Buying a heart-shaped box of chocolate is not necessary. In fact, buying chocolate is discouraged. In all shapes.
Not impressed (via giphy.com)
- You don’t even have to buy a card, because your dog can’t read.

- Your dog won’t care if you’re not looking your best.
Or if you doze off (via giphy.com)
- You can finally ignore that heart-shaped candy that makes uninformed predictions about your love life. Channel your inner honey badger.
Forget it, candy (via giphy.com)
- You don’t have to worry about any awkward romantic moments.
Oh, hello there (via giphy.com)
- Human to dog PDA is generally adorable. (Human to human PDA can result in some judgy bear stares.)
Le sigh (via giphy.com)
- The chances of rejection are pretty low. A dog’s answer to “Will you be my Valentine?” will likely be yes. Because dogs say yes to pretty much anything.
Cats are a different story (via giphy.com)
Pretty convincing, right? After all, humans give love a bad name (or at least that’s what I hear from Bon Jovi).
Love hurts (via giphy.com)
Puppy love is not as hazardous to your health (although it might involve more slobber).
Worth it (via giphy.com)
What do you think? Will your Valentine be of the fur-covered variety this year?
Happy Valencanine’s Day!
This is adorable! Yup, 4 of my Valentines are of the furry persuasion 🙂

This is all kinds of epic. And I don’t know who that is kissing the pug, but he’s going to marry me one day 🙂

Lovely post. What a lot of work to get just the perfect image.
Human Valentine’s Day seems to be all about greed and guilt any more. Canine Valentine’s Day makes moire sense being just about pure love and devotion.

I have two valentine’s a human and a beagle! We’ll be having a relaxing evening with take out, movies, and lots of snuggles. Nothing would be better!

Yay for the Little Mermaid! Best animated gif ever!
My cat would totally give me the finger if I asked him. Good thing I have a dog who likes me.

And that is why I bought BD and Mity a valentines squeaky toy each this year!
I have one that will be my Valentine, I’m not too sure about the other one at the moment.
Dogs make wonderful Valentines!
