Low flying aircraft use the
craters in your garden as navigation marks
You can't help smiling smugly when you walk your dog past a drive
with a 'Beware of the Dog' sign
Friends aren't even surprised any more when you leave the party at
10.30 because you don't like to leave the dog howl
for too long
You're playing tugger with your six month old puppy and you have
to hold on to the door frame for support . . . and he or she still wins
:o (
You hide the vet bill from your partner until you know she's in a
good mood
Your heart sinks when you're searching the net for a holiday
cottage and all the dog-friendly ones read 'one small well-behaved
dog welcome'
If you had a buck for everyone who asks why you don't ride the dog
instead of walking it you could buy another wolfhound
You buy an expensive settee suite and sit on the floor
When the phone rings during a meal, you take your plate with you
to answer it
You buy family sized packs of everything, even though there's only
two of you
When the in-laws show off their latest exotic location holiday
snaps, you respond with a fistful of dog photos
You take 'maternity' leave from work because you have a new puppy
You're starting to think that ceramic-tiled floors throughout the
house might be nice . . .
and then you think, 'Maybe ceramic-tiled walls would be
quite stylish too . . . '
You've stopped eating beef because it upsets the dog's stomach
The sight of your dogs running free across an open field moves you
to tears
The pockets of every jacket you possess bulge with emergency poo
bags
You have to answer the phone by the second ring, before the
howling starts and the neighbors think the four-minute warning is
being sounded
The staff at the vet's surgery fall about laughing when your dog
sits on the chair beside you in the waiting room
You can't remember when you last ate a whole apple/packet of
crisps or ice cream without having to share it
You have accumulated so many photos of your dogs that you set up
your own website.
