You know you're a dog person if.

Asked Feb 12, 2010, 10:22 PM — 173 Answers
I had to share this with everyone... I filled out my answers for each part, feel free to do so yourself or just have a read


* You have a kiddie wading pool in the yard but no small children
I have a small, blow-up swimming pool for warmer months, it gets blown up and filled every year even though the dogs don't use it.

* Lintwheels are on your shopping list every week.
Not so true with this one... Dog hair adds character to clothes.

* Your freezer containes more dog bones than anything.
I have a freezer full of chicken necks and not much food for ourselves!

* You hang around the dog section of your local bookstore way too often.
My first stop at the library is the pet section.

* Your non-dog friends won't eat food prepared in your kitchen.
Dog hair is a condiment, just like sauce or salt.

* You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house but no babies.
Yep... Makes life easier!

* You open your purse and that big bunch of baggies you use for pick-up pops out .
No, but the back pocket of every pair of pants I own has doggy bags stuffed in them.

* You skip breakfast so you can walk your dog in the morning before work.
Nothing gets in between, me, a cigarette and AMHD of a morning.

* The trash basket is more or less permanently installed in the kitchen sink, to keep the dog out of it while you're at work.
I found this one out the hard way.

* You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are dog nose prints all over the inside.
But the smeared nose swirls look so pretty!

* You don't go to happy hours with co-workers anymore because you need to go home and walk your dog.
I just feel bad leaving them locked up for too long.

* You don't think it's the least bit strange to stand in the back yard chirping "Molly, Pee!" over and over at your dog who tends to play and forget what she's our there for.
Prada, come on wee wee's, come one do your wee wee's!

* You go to the pet supply store every Saturday because it's one of the very few places that lets you bring your dog inside, and the dog loves to go with you.
Nah, there's only one pet store that doesn't sell puppies here and the staff are just plain rude.

* You get an extra long hose on your shower massage just so you can use it to wash the dog in the tub, without making the dog sit hip deep in water.
I have been through several trying to find one that has the right "spray" to wash the dogs properly.

* You and the dog come down with something flu like on the same day. The dog sees the vet while you settle for an over the counter remedy from the drug store.
I had to wait a month to see a doctor because Prada needed her medication and we didn't have enough cash for both.

* You not only have dog toys strewn about, but your guests also have to be careful not to trip on the dog jumps. (well we got to exercise them in the winter somehow)
I have nearly lost a few guests due to wayward toys.

* Your weekend activities are planned around taking your dog for a hike.
Of coarse... Sunday afternoon is park time!

* You refer to yourself as "mommy" and "daddy".
Let's not talk about this one

* Your dog sleeps with you.
Only 1 sleeps with us because he can[t handle the heat and he sleeps on the foot of the bed in front of the fan.

* You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your doggies than go to the movies with your sweetie.
I'd prefer a movie at home with both

* You keep an extra water dish in your second-floor bedroom, in case your dog gets thirsty at night.
They have a crunchy biscuit right before going to bed... I don't want them choking on it

* You avoid vacuuming the house as long as possible because the dogs are afraid of the brain-sucker.
Nah, not so much because of the 'brain sucker' factor, more because of the 'well if I vacuum it now it's just going to be dirty again in 5 minutes' factor.

* When your dog is getting old and arthritic, and you go buy lumber and build it a small staircase so it can climb onto the bed by itself.
Haven't yet but I would do.

* You shovel a zig-zag path in the back yard snow so your dog can reach all of his favorite places.
Haha, that may be a bit too extreme even for me!

* Your have 32 different names for your dogs. Most make no sense but they understand.
Prada, Prady, Pradster, Miss Mouse, B*tch face, Troll monster... I'll stop there.

* Your dog eats cat poop but you still let him/her kiss you (but not immediately after, of course)
Not cat, but they sure do love bunny poop.

* You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken so the dog gets some too.
How can you say no to those eyes?

* Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other.
Yeah sure, I want to know if the dogs stools are firm.

* You are the only idiot walking in the pouring rain because your dog needs his walk.
Nope... If the weather is bad they have a couch day!

* You send birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards from your dog.
They get birthday and Christmas presents.

* You like people who like your dogs. You despise people who don't.
Funny how that works huh?

* You lecture people on responsible dog ownership every chance you get.
Of coarse.

* You keep eating even though you find a dog hair in your pasta.
It's not dog hair if it's in food, it's a condiment!

* You carry dog biscuits in your pockets all the time.
Nah but quite a few trips are made to the cupboard daily.

* You talk about your dogs like other people talk about their kids.
What you talkin' about, they are my kids?

* You have your dog pictures on your office desk. (but no one else's).
The only framed photo in our whole house is a big one of the dogs.

* Your license plate or license plate frame mentions your dogs.
No, but if it did my partner would never drive it, ever again.

* You match your furniture, carpet and clothes to your dog.
Hmmm... Black and white furniture... Black and white dogs.
Red cushions... Red collars... Oops.

She has the emotional maturity and of an 8 year old, but she doesn't seem mentally retarded. They would go between treating her like a friend and saying some of the meanest, nastiest, things I have ever heard anyone say to someone they called a friend. The worst part of it was, they phrased things in such a way that, if you took them just at face value, they didn't seem mean. The girl just didn't have the ability to distinguish tone of voice.
People like that will always hurt anybody they can by words or actions. But I have found you reap what you sew and what goes round comes round..Later Heath

You learn to crochet even though you hate it and make the doggies and kiddies little cute pet vest.

You get in the giant tub with him when its time for his bath.

You cry when he whimpers as he's getting his shots

Ok, let's see exactly how many of these apply to cat people ^_^



* You have a kiddie wading pool in the yard but no small children
Somehow I don't think my kitty would appreciate a wading pool

* Lintwheels are on your shopping list every week.
Most of my clothing is dark enough that a little fur won't matter. The rest, I keep out of fur range and put on right before I leave.

* Your freezer containes more dog bones than anything.
My freezer contains an ice cream tub and ice packs.

* You hang around the dog section of your local bookstore way too often.
The local bookstore went out of business a couple months ago

* Your non-dog friends won't eat food prepared in your kitchen.
So far I'm the only one who's eaten anything prepared in my kitchen. No one else has been over to visit

* You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house but no babies.
With the kittens on the way, I'd love to have a way to keep them out of certain rooms, but the set-up of my house would prevents it. Besides, baby gates only work with cats for a few weeks.

* You open your purse and that big bunch of baggies you use for pick-up pops out .
One of the perks of having a cat, is they use a litter box

* You skip breakfast so you can walk your dog in the morning before work.
No, but I've left later than I meant to because I was apologizing for not letting her go outside and explaining that she's an INDOOR cat now

* The trash basket is more or less permanently installed in the kitchen sink, to keep the dog out of it while you're at work.
Edith is amazingly disinterested in the trash bag. I have to get a real trash can before the kittens are mobile, though

* You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are dog nose prints all over the inside.
I don't even own a car, so it's a moot point regardless of what pet I have

* You don't go to happy hours with co-workers anymore because you need to go home and walk your dog.
Never went to happy hour to begin with, but I worry if I'm not home by the time it gets dark. I don't want edith to be afraid of the dark, even though I know that's a silly worry for a cat

* You don't think it's the least bit strange to stand in the back yard chirping "Molly, Pee!" over and over at your dog who tends to play and forget what she's our there for.
Once again, a perk of having a cat that uses a litter box

* You go to the pet supply store every Saturday because it's one of the very few places that lets you bring your dog inside, and the dog loves to go with you.
I don't think there's a pet supply store in town anywhere

* You get an extra long hose on your shower massage just so you can use it to wash the dog in the tub, without making the dog sit hip deep in water.
Yeah, I LIKE my skin attached to my body. That means I do NOT try to shower the cat

* You and the dog come down with something flu like on the same day. The dog sees the vet while you settle for an over the counter remedy from the drug store.
If she gets sick enough to need a vet, i'll go without whatever I need to. I don't take medicine, anyway

* You not only have dog toys strewn about, but your guests also have to be careful not to trip on the dog jumps. (well we got to exercise them in the winter somehow)
Edith isn't interested in the balls I bought her, so they're in a drawer until the kittens can play with them. After that, I fully expect to be tripping on them

* Your weekend activities are planned around taking your dog for a hike.
No, but I don't think i'll be away from home for more than a few hours at a time until the kittens are weaned and I've found most of them homes. It's just not nice to leave an expectant mother or babies by themselves for longer than absolutely needed

* You refer to yourself as "mommy" and "daddy".
No, it's one thing I've never seen the point of. Besides, with a cat, you are not the head of the house, they are

* Your dog sleeps with you.
My cat sleeps near me. She doesn't like to lie in one place for long, and I move too much for her to get comfy

* You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your doggies than go to the movies with your sweetie.
Yes. And it doesn’t even matter that I don't have a sweetie, or money for the movies

* You keep an extra water dish in your second-floor bedroom, in case your dog gets thirsty at night.
No, but there's only one floor to my apartment, anyway

* You avoid vacuuming the house as long as possible because the dogs are afraid of the brain-sucker.
Well, once I get a vacuum, that'll be true

* When your dog is getting old and arthritic, and you go buy lumber and build it a small staircase so it can climb onto the bed by itself.
I will build whatever I can to make her life easier when she's old

* You shovel a zig-zag path in the back yard snow so your dog can reach all of his favorite places.
Nope. If I decide to harness train her and take her next winter, she's going to have to deal with the snow if she wants to get somewhere that's not shoveled. And i'll have to walk right through it after her

* Your have 32 different names for your dogs. Most make no sense but they understand.
Edith, miss edith, gorgeous, round one, mommy

* Your dog eats cat poop but you still let him/her kiss you (but not immediately after, of course)
Thankfully, NOT a habit edith has decided to pick up

* You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken so the dog gets some too.
Edith gets dibs on all my dishes once I'm done with them

* Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other.
No SO

* You are the only idiot walking in the pouring rain because your dog needs his walk.
Please see the shower head comment. I LIKE my skin

* You send birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards from your dog.
Havne't had the chance yet. Haven't decided if she'll be included, or not

* You like people who like your dogs. You despise people who don't.
If you don't like my kitty, you don't have to come visit me.

* You lecture people on responsible dog ownership every chance you get.
If they can't realize that having a pet is a lot like having a kid, then they have no right having either. You have to love them and take care of them and be there for them and not leave them by themselves for days on end or forget to feed them or give them away because they just wants cuddles and you're not willing to give them

* You keep eating even though you find a dog hair in your pasta.
Yeah, it's still food and I'm still hungry. Besides, I know my cat, it's not like it's hair from a strange cat or something

* You carry dog biscuits in your pockets all the time.
No, but the kitty treats are in the cabinet with the human snacks

* You talk about your dogs like other people talk about their kids.
Yeah, and? I find it only fair since I don't plan on having any human babies

* You have your dog pictures on your office desk. (but no one else's).
I don't have my own desk

* Your license plate or license plate frame mentions your dogs.
I don't even own a car, so it's a moot point regardless of what pet I have

* You match your furniture, carpet and clothes to your dog.
No, but it's all dark enough that a black fur doesn't show up



Hmmm...so it's basically just the outside ones that don't apply to me. I don't think the vehicle ones count, since I don't own one

You go out at two in the morning to buy hairball snacks.

All the decorations on the Christmas tree are at the top.

You send your friends pictures of you and your husband,children grandchildren and the kitties in your Christmas Cards.

Your sister tells you all about your new baby. You tell her all about your new kittens.

The only time you close a door is when you're showering, so the kitties are never locked out of a room.

You plan meals around rather or not your cat will want the leftovers.

You can go days without seeing or speaking to another human being, but you ask your cat's opinion on everything from what to eat to what to wear that day, and tell them what you're doing every time you get up to go into another room.
