My life without a dog...

[tes218]

Not sure who wrote this but I thought I would share. I can relate on all of these:

If I had no animals....
I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.
My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.


When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like the kennels.
When the doorbell rings, I could get to the
door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
I could sit on the couch the way I wanted, without taking into
consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get
comfortable.
I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree -- dog
bones, stuffed animals , nor would I have to answer to people why I wrap
them.
I would not be on a first-name basis with three veterinarians.
The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down,
come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.
My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.
My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra
leash.
I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L-, F-R-I-S-B-E-E, or
W-A-L-K.
I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties
them down too much.
I'd look forward to spring and the melting of snow instead of
dreading mud season.
I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many dogs/
animals?" from people who will never have the joy in their lives of
knowing they are loved unconditionally by something as close to an
angel as they will ever get.



How empty my life would be.

I wouldn't have to explain to people why I couldn't get to the phone before the answering machine picked up. (the dogs seem to think the ring of the phone means race mom to the living room, I let them race each other anymore)

 

[Woodyspda]

I wouldn't have a problem finding an apartment or house to rent.
I wouldn't have to run out late at night for a bag of food for the next morning.
I wouldn't have a squirrell detector.

 

[Jameo]

I wouldn't have a squirrel/cat/dog/strange person in the yard detector.

These are soo funny, but so true.

 

[wharf rat]

There would be no bed, chair or foot warmers.

I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L-, F-R-I-S-B-E-E, or
W-A-L-K.

What do you do when the dogs know how to spell??? Ours when we spell it out or say it - know what we are saying. They know W-A-L-K and T-R-E-A-T

All true

I wouldn't have to spell B-A-T-H, and even that he knows what it means.

I wouldn't have to go talk on the phone outside because at that moment the dogs decide that it is excellent time to play.

I wouldn't have to put my nice leather boots up on a shelf.

I wouldnt' have to keep a de-linter in my car, desk, purse, and do hair check before leaivng the house.

I wouldn't have to put dog toys away to vaccumm and have them be out 5 minutes later.

I wouldn't have rawhides in the bed.

My life would be WAY to boring.

I wouldnt have my best friend that accepts me no matter what mood Im in.

life would suck.

That is especially true. You can be in the worst mood but when you walk in the door and somebody is so happy to see you that they can't stop jumping and runnig to you it makes you feel so loved.
