You know you are a dog person when...

[Pam]

I got this from another site and wanted to share with you all. There are many I can relate to now and many I could relate to in the past with other dogs and when my dogs were puppies. I have bolded the ones that apply now. :) How about you? ;)

You know you're 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

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. Not from my dogs but from my granddog, Dale. ;)

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

You refer to yourselves as Mommy 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. Despise is just a bit strong! LOL!

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). This is almost true. Bella and Ripley share the spotlight with my grandson! ;)

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...). Doesn't everybody? LOL!

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). Not steak or chicken but they definitely get the milk at the end of my cereal. :)

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

You avoid vacuming 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. I have lots of pictures of dogs in my wallet - current ones and Rainbow Bridge babies, but also pics of the family too. :)

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

[Smilla]

These are the ones I've been guilty of:

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. Most often the question, "Has he pooped for you yet today?"--as if it's a special gift, or something!

You refer to yourselves as Mommy and Daddy.

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 distrust people who don't. (I changed "despise" to "distrust.")

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

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

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

All of your charitable donations go to dog-related and humane society groups. (Well, I donate to bat conservation groups, mainly.)

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

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.

You keep an extra water dish in your second-floor bedroom, in case your dog gets thirsty at night. Makes sense to me!

You avoid vacuming 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.

They're special songs where I inject their names and special things about them! :o

And people who just don't like animals. That scares me.

To the point where people just look at me sometimes without even replying.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I sing a song to Lefty about his legs and snout. ?!? I would NEVER sing it in front of anyone else!

[Corinna]

I'm embarassed! I resemble all those. Also alot are cat things too now that I have 3 living here. In my defense though Merlin is the one causing most of those things. :D

:D That's cute, I'm guilty of alot of them!!

[Cookiebaker]

[lovemyshiba]

Here's my guilty list:

My dogs send and recieve Valentine's Day cards from other doggies and to and from mommy and daddy

We have baby gates, and no babies

All trash cans are behind closed doors, under sinks, or require a step to open them

It seems we do talk about poop often--how's this for embarrassing--I can even identify who each pile belongs too when cleaning up the yard:o

We are mommy and daddy

Our dogs have at least 32 different names, and understand all of them-and all of them sleep with us--just not at the same time!!

They all have special songs that I sing to them

I don't really despise people, but I would rather not spend time with anyone who doesn't like dogs

I keep treats in my car at all times

I love to go to pet stores on Saturday--we take turns every week!!

I always take the dogs to the vet--me, I'll suffer.

I would share an ice cream cone with them--vanilla of course:)

We just bought new furniture and put wood floors in--why? For the dogs

The only donation I make is to the ASPCA

I am the idiot out in the rain, Kito won't go out in the yard when it's raining, so he has to go for a walk:rolleyes:

The dogs usually get a bit of my steak, or crusts from my pizza

My dad hates this

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...). I would do this, but I don’t have an up stairs. I bring it outside all the time though.

You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken (so your dog gets a taste, too). Guilty! If Syl didn’t chase Harley she’d be 30 lbs!

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

[trayi52]

Guilty of just about all of them!

Your freezer contains more dog bones than anything else. We currently have frosty paws and some very old popcicles in there.

You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken (so your dog gets a taste, too). They used to get table scraps like this but not anymore! It's very hard not to :(

You shovel a zig-zag path in the garden snow so your dog can reach all his favourite spots. Well, Florida doesn't have snow, but I often walk out with Simba with a towel or umbrella over him in the rain, while I get completely soaked.

You avoid vacuming the house as long as possible because your dog is afraid of the vacum cleaner. It kills me :(

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

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

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