You know you're a dog person when.............

Hi......i just found this and thought i'd share it with you.......... Laughing

You Know when you're a dog person when.........

-You slipcover all the furniture in a complementary color to your dog to make it easier to hide/remove the dog hair.
-Your dog gets regular checkups every 6 months, but you don't have a doctor yourself.
-You don't think twice about trading licks of an ice cream cone with your dog.
-You justify the purchase of a larger vehicle or house because of the dogs.
-Your neighbors cringe at your landscaping ... more chainlink to fence off the few remaining shrubs, more deep sandy "pits" than patches of grass and more slabs of concrete.
-You meet someone when out walking your dogs and introduce your dog first.
-Vaccination and licensing records for all your dogs are in perfect order, but your checkbook hasn't been balanced in months.
-You have a kiddie paddling pool in the backyard, but no kids.
-Your dog gets a deep cut on the pad of his foot and gets emergency medical attention at the vet, but you break your toes and settle for taping them together with duct tape and taking some aspirin to kill the pain.
-You buy supplements for your dog and administer them daily (wrapped in cheese if necessary), but consider yourself fortunate if you remember to take your own more than twice a week.
-Your family has resigned themselves to the fact that you're bringing your dog to all holiday gatherings, or you don't bother coming at all.
-Your parents give up on grandchildren and start to refer to your dogs as "your kids". (a bonus if they start to call them "our granddogs".
-You have kiddie gates permanently installed at strategic locations in the house, but no kids.
-You have nose prints on all glass surfaces ... windows, doors, inside the car, etc., and you leave them there because cleaning them seems so futile at this point.
-Relative solidity of dog excrement is a suitable topic for discussion in mixed company.
-You have hundreds of pictures of your dog on your desk at work, in your wallet, etc., but none of your family or yourself.
-You don't mind finding dog hair in the sink, tub, embedded in the carpet or clothes, or mixed in your food.
-You upgrade from a double to king-size bed to make room for the third or fourth dog.
-You've had long meaningful discussions with your friends about the best way to trim your dog's nails, but have never had a manicure or pedicure in your life.
-No one wants to ride in your car because they know they'll get dog hair on their clothes.
-You talk to your dogs the way most people talk to their children.
-You spend more time and effort grooming your dog than yourself. And it shows ... your dog gets more compliments than you do.
-You know more about canine nutrition than human nutrition (and it shows.)
-Your dog gets his coat stripped/trimmed more often than you get a haircut.
-You're willing to pet sit, but not baby sit, for friends.
-All of your clothes have dog hair on them, even when they've been laundered.
-You've had a bad day and decide that your dog is the best "person" to talk it over with.
-Your vet, back-up vet, emergency vet clinic, obedience instructor are all programmed speed dials on your phone.

You have extra dog collars and leashes on the walls, grooming tools on the TV and sofa, Dog Beds strewn across all flat surfaces, chew toys everywhere, dog-fur dust rhinos skidding across the carpet and floors, and a long line of drips from the water bucket to the living room across the hardwood floors ... and you don't care.
