You update your dog’s Instagram more than your own, you feed her higher quality food than you eat yourself, and you’ve spent more on accessories than you would ever splurge for yourself. Yep, you are completely, unabashedly obsessed with your dog. But don’t worry: the love fest goes both ways. Here’s how you can tell your dog is head-over-heels in love with you, too.

And she holes up in your suitcase as you’re trying pack—hey, if it delays you leaving for the airport a little later, it’s worth the effort.
