Which dog breed is known for its distinctive spotted coat and is often referred to as the "firehouse dog"?

You give your all to your dog.  

You feed them, walk them, rearrange your life, and worry late into the night.  

Still, self-doubt has a way of creeping in.  

Deep down, you wonder: Am I doing enough? Am I letting them down?  

Many local pet owners quietly struggle with this guilt, believing true love for their dog should only bring joy, not anxiety.  

The role of dogs has changed—they are our family, our support, and our confidants—so the expectations are higher than ever.  

Comparisons to other owners and endless advice can turn love into pressure.  

But these worries aren’t signs of failure; they show real emotional investment.  

Your concern means you care deeply.  

Instead of seeking perfection, focus on staying present and connected.  

If you sometimes feel anxious or guilty, you are far from alone—many in our community feel exactly this way.
