You Know You Are A Dog Person When...


You have a kiddie wading pool in the yard, but no small children.

Pigs Ears are on your shopping list every week.

You send Valentine's day cards from your dog to his favourite doggy friend ( I know someone who does this)

You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house, but no babies.

The waste basket is more or less permanently installed in the kitchen sink, to keep the dog out of it while you're at work.

You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are nose-prints all over the inside.

Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other.

You refer to yourselves as Mummy and Daddy.

Your dog sleeps with you. You have 32 different names for your dog. Most make no sense, but he understands.

You have little songs that you sing to your dog, and he always wags when you sing, even though you can't carry a tune.

Your dog eats cat poop, but you still let him kiss you (but not immediately afterward, of course).

You like people who like your dog. You despise people who don't.

You carry dog biscuits in your purse or pocket at all times.

You talk about your dog the way other people talk about their kid.

You sign and send birthday/anniversary/Christmas cards from your dog.

You put an extra blanket on the bed so your dog can be comfortable.

You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your dog than go to the movies with your boy/girlfriend

You go to the pet supply store every Saturday because it's one of the very few places that lets you bring your dog inside, and your dog loves to go with you.

You open your purse, and that big bunch of plastic bags you use for pick-ups pops out.

You get an extra-long hose on your shower-massage just so you can use it to wash your dog in the tub, without making the dog sit hip-deep in water.

You meet someone when out walking your dogs and you introduce your dogs first.

You and the dog come down with something like flu on the same day.

Your dog sees the vet while you settle for an over-the-counter remedy from the Chemist

Your dog is getting old and arthritic, so you go buy some wood and build him a small staircase so he can climb onto the bed by himself.

You don't think twice about trading licks of an ice cream cone with your dog.

You match your furniture/carpet/clothes to your dog.

All of your charitable donations go to dog-related and humane society groups.

You have your dog's picture on your office desk (but no one else's).

You lecture people on responsible dog ownership every chance you get.

You hang around the dog section of your local bookstore.

You skip breakfast so you can walk your dog in the morning before work.

You are the only idiot out walking in the pouring rain, but your dog needs his walk.

You don't go out for drinks with co-workers any more because you need to go home and see your dog.

Your parents refer to your pet as their granddog, remember his birthday, and send him greeting cards and gifts.

Your friend's dog acts as Best Dog at your wedding.

Your weekend activities are planned around taking your dog for a hike (both days).

You keep an extra water dish in your second-floor bedroom, in case your dog gets thirsty at night (after all, his other dish is way down on the first floor...).

Your freezer contains more dog bones than anything else.

You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken (so your dog gets a taste, too).

You shovel a zig-zag path in the garden snow so your dog can reach all his favourite spots.

You avoid vacuuming the house as long as possible because your dog is afraid of the vacum cleaner.

You keep eating even after finding a dog hair in your pasta.

You carry pictures of your dog in your wallet instead of pictures of your parents, siblings, significant other, or anyone else remotely human.

And the number one reason you know you're a dog person: is you're on this web site reading doggie humour

I can honestly say I haven't done all of these things.......just most of them. Oh, and one other....someone says hello in the supermarket and you look at them wondering who they are then they say "You know, Mabel's Mum " and THEN you recognise them. :oops:

OMG !!!

Out of all that I'm appauld to say I do eat my pasta after finding a dog hair - I just pick it out and carry on. Plus they jump on my bed (with the extra cover on) after running about outside. They lick me after playing with a spider - I don't touch anything thats had a spider on. I vacuum when the dogs are out the way usually on my bed. My excuse for exclusive meals/nights out on my work is 'oh no I need to get home for the dogs' My mom & dad refer to them as the grandkids.

AND.....

I moved my bedroom downstairs in what should be the dining room because Winston is epileptic and kept having fits at the top of the stairs - I was worried he may fall down - I don't need a dining room :1971:

I've done most of those things, (I thought it was obligatory to find a hair in your meal) and I'd deffinatly say if people don't like my dog I don't want to know them and I know most people where I live by their dog's name same as I'm Paddys mum to them. We got cards at Christmas addressed to "Paddy and his Humans" I rest my case :1941:

Wow Aileen....I'd got as far as the one about the Valentines card and was just about to tell Lesley that we should send Ted one from Tasha when I realised it was written by you! It's only our 9th night since Tasha came home with us and I could relate to almost everything on your post - not got to sharing an ice cream yet but then again it's not been the weather...I'll wait till the summer to report back on that one! :1941:

Lucy
p.s. thanks for telling everyone how gorgeous she is....I think I'm in love :1971:
