This happened to me last summer
You know you love your dogs when you go on vacation and while they are boarded you call the boarding place every single day to ask how they are and you get them on your way back home even though you are tired and they all have to sit on your lap because there is so much luggage and you haven't unpacked yet.

you know you love your dogs when you miss half of your favorite t.v. show or your telephone conversation because you are so busy watching your dogs play.
