We have all been there, you know, the moment you realize that you are still single and the biggest love interested in your life is the fake one you have with Sam Hunt. As if being back home for Christmas with your family asking you, “When are you getting married? Anytime soon? I thought you’d have a ring and two kids by now!” wasn’t bad enough… Valentine’s Day came all too soon.

I am a firm believer that God doesn’t give us someone when we aren’t ready. And that goes for all the Sam Hunt look alike’s out there as well! God isn’t going to give you someone if he is “the one” at the wrong time. I believe that both people have to be at the right place in their life to meet each other and for it to actually work. There have been many times that I have been with someone who I thought was “the one” but the timing was off and we both ended up getting our hearts broken.

So with ALL that being said, a dog is the best bet, hands, and paws down!!! They never leave you, cheat on you, say mean things! All they do is love you, come when you call, cuddle and kiss you whenever you want! So what is better than having Valentine’s date with your 4 legged fur-child?….. Umm, nothing!

My perfect date night with my fur baby is a bottle of wine for me, some snacks and treats for him, a little photoshoot for insta (duh), some toys all over the floor and watching Must Love Dogs!

We have pulled together some of our favorite Valentine’s Day gifts for both you and your pup! Click on the photos for all the deets!
