Here's the ones I'm guilty of:

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 have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house, but no babies. - We have 2

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. - we can't see out of the windshield ... big dogs....

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.

ou have little songs that you sing to your dog, and he always wags when you sing, even though you can't carry a tune.- anytime I dance or sing Gomer joins in

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 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.

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

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.

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

You hang around the dog section of your local bookstore.


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 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

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 avoid vacuming the house as long as possible because your dog is afraid of the vacum cleaner.- Gomer hates that scary vacum

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

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