    the tax returns come in and DH buys himself a new scanner.  What do I get? Gypsy's teeth cleaned and two growths removed. FWIW, the rest of the money is going in savings.

    When you put cartoons on for the dogs when you leave the house.

    I usually turn on Animal Planet for the boys and it was very important that their kennel is facing the TV so they could watch it Big Smile

    How about when you narrow down potential housing communities because of their pet accommodations. Looking for a house 150 miles from here, and won't think twice of turning down the job offer if my dogs won't be comfortable as well...

    When you are happy to get animal bones from a hunting friend to feed to your dog.

    And this one happened recently with a co-worker riding in my car and not used to dog fur.

    "Man, there's some fur in here," he said.

    "Love the dog, love the fur," I said. No apologies.
