This week's nut goes out to everyone who's whispered, "Mama loves you" to a Frenchie in a sweater. Turns out you're not a weirdo- you're a product of 40,000 years of canine manipulation. Let's sniff this one out. When researchers stuck moms in MRI machines and showed them pics of their kids and their dogs, the same parts of the brain lit up like a dog-friendly Christmas tree. Emotion. Reward. Bonding. Your brain doesn't know if it's looking at your human child or your Terrier mix named Harold. And frankly? It doesn't care. Dogs didn't always look like that. They used to be wolves- scary, serious, no interest in belly rubs. But then they figured out that looking like a chubby infant with big eyes and floppy ears got them food and cuddles. So they adapted. Now we're out here pushing 12-pound cavapoos in strollers and calling it enrichment. That rush of joy when your dog blinks at you? That's oxytocin. The same love hormone released when you hold a baby. You've been chemically tricked into becoming a full-time dog butler with a baby voice. And honestly? You seem happy. Sending your dog to daycare, dressing them in pajamas, and FaceTiming them from the airport isn't you being "extra." It's you following a deep-rooted, evolution-backed instinct to nurture your small, hairy soulmate. Bonus points if your dog has a Halloween costume and a dedicated voice in your group chat. Well that's this week's nut. I'm sure everyone reading this understands. Nutasha and I get it- dogs are family. We're currently in heated discussions about whether to adopt a rescue beagle or a squirrel-sized corgi. (She wants Butternut. I want Bark Twain.) Either way, hug your dog. They're not just your best friend. They're your four-legged, fur-covered, treat-obsessed baby. And science says so. Your friend, The "soon to be dog dad" Squirrel Wait… Really? You're already looking for the Unsubscribe. button? Well, just know we have a pigeon army, and they WILL find you. But go ahead… Hit that button and see what happens.
