Dachshund Puppy Is The Cutest Companion While Tagging Along For Mom's Self-Care Day

If you're familiar with influencer Abby Baffoe and her sweet dachshund Lady, then you know how busy they can seem. Like jetting off to exotic locations while receiving celebrity treatment from flight attendants or just going grocery shopping together. In this TikTok video, the two slow things down a little for an in-home self-care day — and who wouldn't want such a cute four-legged companion by their side?

"Love our slow mornings," reads the caption, even though Abby woke up to some unexpected dog pee in the bed. The day that unfolds — described as a "self-care morning routine before the work day" — involves some pretty typical stuff, including Lady eating breakfast and brushing her teeth and a game of fetch. Then, though, we move on to more out-of-the-ordinary moments like at-home laser hair removal and a lymphatic drainage massage, which shouldn't be too surprising for this influencer. All the while, Lady is tagging along.

"That's a perfect morning for me 😍," noted one person in the comments, as others oohed and ahhhed over the fancy NYC apartment shown off in the video and asked where the influencer purchased everything from her pajamas to her coffee cup. One thing we want to know, though, is: how did she get such a cute dog?

Dogs have a funny way of turning themselves into part of everything you do — and, honestly, who doesn't love that? Whether you're making coffee, working from home, or heading out, your dog would probably prefer to be right there by your side. That's because dogs are social animals, so being around their favorite people can make them feel safe and part of the action at the same time.

For them, being included isn't necessarily about doing something exciting. Simply hanging out in the same room is enough. Sometimes, your presence can also provide reassurance when something unfamiliar or scary is going on. Basically, you're their favorite person and trusted source.

That's why your dog may follow you from room to room, supervise every household chore, or magically appear whenever you sit down — they're not necessarily being pushy or nosy; they just want to stay connected to you. So, remember that, and try to include them in your everyday activities, even if it's something as simple as a short walk or a few minutes of attention. They're like us and just want to be loved!
