...when you're friends give you a hard time for looking @ dogs online so much!

When you start most of your sentences to family and friends with ... "Today, on the dog forum I read...."

You can open your designer bag to find a smelly leash, chewed on tennis ball, & a bag of treats.

Moments after some one in the house has passed horrendous gas (you know, the kind that makes your eyes well up with tears) you look to DH, and say "Please tell me that was you? I really don't want to have to change the dog's food again."

You have had ramps installed over the stairs in your house, because stairs aren't good for the dog to walk up & down. Surely, you wouldn't want to deny him access to all three floors of the house..

You plan vacations around what the dogs enjoy.

You go car shopping, with the intention of buying a sports car, but you can't follow through because you are worried that a two seater might be uncomfortable for one of the dogs if it were needed in an emergency.

In our house, it usually is me. To date, Shadow has never smelled as bad as I can smell. I'm not bragging, just stating the facts. I should register myslf as a deadly weapon.

I don't know Ron...I sense a bit of pride in your statement. Smile

You know...when...you go outside and play Chuckit in your bathrobe and houseshoes at dawn so the dog can get the pent up energies out before having to get dressed for work (waving at neighbors as they drive by).

When the dog is stretched out all over the bed, leaving you no room and YOU get up and move to the couch.

When you willingly live in your RV for five, going on six months, with your dogs because you can't find/afford a place that will allow SIX german shepherds and wouldn't think of rehoming them because of a temporary situation.

When you get your latest roll of film and there isn't a single
picture of a two-legged person in it...

People at work have stopped offering you their lint brushes; they
realize it is a hopeless case.

You have dog hair stuck on tape on wrapped gifts.

Your hungry hubby comes home from work, lifts the cover of the
pan on the stove and says, "Is this people food or dog food?"

Your parents refer to your pet as their granddog and themselves as granny and PopPop.

You shovel a zigzag path in the back yard snow so your dog can
reach all her favorite spots – we do this for Hailie every snow storm.

Your license plate or license plate frame mentions your dog.

Your dog eats cat poop, but you still let her kiss you (but not
immediately afterward, of course).

You refer to yourselves as Mommy and Daddy.

You have a kiddie wading pool in the yard, but no small children.

ETA:

It takes an entirely separate garbage can to handle the poop!!

You take an entire summer off work to "raise your puppy".

You only go back to work part time (even though you so need the money for bills) so that you don't have to leave your dog alone more than 4-5 hours a day.

You take comments about your dog so personally they can make you defensive as if it was your child they were speaking of.

You feed your kids dinner at 3:30pm so that you and the dog have more time to spend at the dog park together every evening.

Gosh I sound pathetic!!!!

You sign all your greeting cards with both human and pets names.

You carry milk bones in your car in case you spot any stray dogs who may be hungry.

You call your dog "baby" even though she's 12.

You're the first to run out in the street to rescue any neighbor's dogs who happen to escape.

. Embarrassed OMG.. I'm guilty on all of these fronts... especially the first and last.. It's gotten so bad, that when there's a loose dog in the neighbourhood, and my family sees it first they go "Shh.. don't tell Ashley.." Stick out tongue

You buckle your pets in the car with more care and concern then your own...

You sleep on an old mattress that's lumpy and falling apart, but your pet's sleep on a heated orthopedic memory foam bed...

On the calendar is every vet appointment, pet birthday, anniversary and special event clearly marked, but your family's birthdays are strangely absent...

When you see unruly kids in a store, you think to yourself that they could use a time out in a Vari-Kennel...

You get money in your birthday card, and immediately you know what you want to buy.. That matching collar and leash set that you saw the other day, or a squeaky toy that your dog doesn't have yet...
