You Know You Love Your Dog When.......

I know the feeling! I've nearly wet my pants because Gracie has fell asleep on my arm and I would hate to wake her up. She's just too cute. You can also tell you love your dog when you are late for work because you needed to finish your long petting session or your game of tug of war. The good thing is my job understands.

You know you love your puppy when: you hold him in your lap and hold whatever he is chewing on so he does not have to.
you dry his paws and legs off every morning after his walk so he does not get cold when he comes in the house.
you end a phone conversation just because he is sitting there barking wanting your full attention.
you take him to pet daycare twice a week so that he can have fun with the other puppies
and all of the other wonderful things all of you have mentioned already.

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.

You know you love your dogs when you miss your fave tv show because they are so engrossed in Meerkat Manor!

ykylydw...you leave a prerecorded message talking specifically to the dogs so while your on vacation your family can play it for them.

...when you specifically take your dog out the front door so that he can go to the bathroom there instead of in the fenced in back yard with the other two dogs...only because he doesn't like the grass in the back.

You know you love your dog when...

you spend a few hours a week baking homemade dog treats because Drake won't eat the store bought ones anymore!

you rearrange your schedule around his playdates

you leave a party/event/etc... early because you don't want him to be lonely all by himself at home

You know you love your Dog when.......

You opt to spend time with your dog in spite of wanting to get online and go to Pet of the Day.

You constantly rinse out the water dish and replace it with ice cold brita water and you make sure that the kibble dish is clean and as fresh as a Spring Daisy.

You cover your bed with a worn quilt instead of the one you "swore" you would display one day. ( it's still stored away

)

Your daily schedule revolves around a dog that you are in love with.

You know you love your dog when:

You are sorting through all your recently retuned belongings that were stolen (fought for 4 months to get my things back!!), and are planning on selling as much of it as you can (even though they are your childhood treasures & will miss them dearly again), so you can afford the up coming vet bills (puppy shots + extras, like all kinds of other tests &, the spay)!!

As many of you know, my puppy was dumped on me & had a rough start to her wee life. I have no way to afford her this soon, but ya.. I love her sooo much I'm going to be selling as much of my things as I can. I cannot part with my JP collection, but I'm going to sell it anyways, as Digi comes before my needs.

I also used some of my food money on her, to buy her good puppy food(Nutro!!). I'm going milkless & breadless for 2 weeks. Its worth it, as those kibbles n bits was poo food, & was doing havic to her bladder late last week...

I know she knows that I love her, as shes stuck to me like glue & shows me her love for me all the time

you know you love your dog when your son is sooooo sick with the flu and you see all of them cuddled up with him so you can get a few hours sleep.

**cloverfdx** · 09-19-2007, 08:52 AM

when your large dog sits in your lap, you can no longer feel your legs but he just looks to darn comfy for you to make him move.

LOL Yes i know this one well, a friends 50KG/ 110 lbs Rottie x was quite comfy on my knee but i did not want to wake him so i could go get another drink.

Val your post sounds very familiar aswell LOL.. the things we do.

**dukedogsmom** · 09-21-2007, 05:05 PM

When you're almost late for work because he's propped up on you, happily snoring, feet twitching from dreams. Gotta go!

You know you love your dog when....

You are crammed up on ONE cushion of a three cushion couch just so your dog can stretch out and be comfortable.... and she STILL kicks you. lol

I know I love this dog (even though she's not my dog) because ... My upstairs neighbor has a brown and white Papillon, Cammy. I know I love her because ... I just feel better after petting and talking to her.
