You know you're a dog lover when..

These are great!!!

...When considering buying a new vehicle, you make sure it is one that will suit the dogs

...Every time the UPS man comes to the door, the dogs go crazy, because it is always something for them

...Every time you come home from the store, they are just waiting for you to open the bag with something for them in it

...You leave your TV on animal planet all day when you aren't home

...You take the dog hair factor into consideration when buying furniture, carpet, clothes, etc....

...You don't know half of your neighbor's names, but you know all of the dogs (Mitch, Max, Dakota, etc.)

...Some of your friends may have Super Bowl parties--you have a party for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

...Picking up poop doesn't bother you

...There are more cupboards and drawers in your house with dog stuff in them than actual food or utensils or dishes

...You don't take vacations because there's no one to watch the dog

...You tend to ask your co-workers how their dogs are doing more often then their family.

...You know your co-worker's dog names and breeds, yet you don't have a clue about his family.

...When you meet someone, one of your first questions is "Do you have any pets? Which follows with "What are their names?"

...You automatically judge that a person is cold hearted and evil because they dislike dogs.

This one doesn't apply to everyone...

The other day, I was driving with Sarah and I really wanted a cigarette bad. I didn't smoke because I didn't want her to breath the second hand smoke.

I kind of laughed to myself...that I was more concerned about my little baby's lungs then my own.

Hehe, I know my neighbor's gazillion cats and her dog's name, but can't remember her kids.

Also, another neighbor caught me saying the other morning "Hi Patches, hey Ashes." to my evil neighbor's cats. He started laughing and said "You never say hi to me, and I hear you call that out every morning!" (He has a bush that blocks him from view, so although I hear him, I can't see him, so I normally don't say hello.)

LOL!! Our yard is like a huge mosaic.

I love these! A couple more I thought of:
-You demand that everyone must eat chocolate outside of the house

-cooked chicken bones are zip locked, thrown in a bag, and thrown in a garbage can OUTSIDE of the house

-When people go through your photo albums, they find more photos of your dogs than anything else

-When you have hundreds of photos of your dogs on your computer yet, you have none of yourself

-When you go grocery shopping, you forget the milk you went to the store for..yet, you somehow manage to buy a months worth of dog treats

-When you write stories for english assignments and somehow incorporate your dogs' names into the story

...you have more dog beds, chew toys, collars, leashes, harnesses, and dog crates than you have dogs.

...you meet other people with dogs, and remember their dog's name within 30 seconds, but don't get the owner's name until you've met them 2 or 3 times.

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

That's all I can think of right now..

...People ask you why you don't want kids and you honestly answer (among other things) that you'd rather spend the time/money on your dog!

...You don't think twice about missing a final to take your dog to the vet when they split a dewclaw. >.<

...You always carry a leash and treats with you in case of wandering pups. (This has come in VERY handy)

...You have the local dog rescue's number memorized because you being them so many wandering doggies.

When you have every one of your school books autographed by a dog, either a muddy paw print or teeth marks

When you say no to a date with the cutest guy in school because you promised your dog a long walk at the park

When you make your friends sit at the table in the other room because the dog took the last seat at the table

**Kfamr** · 03-04-2004, 09:21 PM

I can relate to almost all of these.

I'd go on forever and forever if I listed everything!

When you see somthing at a store you really want and something for your dog but you only have enough money for one... you buy for your dog.

When re-modeling or re-decorating your home, it's done to suit the needs of our dogs, over your needs.

When you give up your dirty clothes basket and just leave them piled on the floor because you know your baby loves to curl up in the pile.

When your husband mows the yard and cuts as many piles of dog dropings as grass, you know you are a dog lover.

When you quit your job because your boss wont let you take off because your puppies are sick, the puppies are more important then any silly job.

When you will only go to your uncle's wedding, out of town, if you found a hotel that takes pets and they can go with you.
