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 :D


* 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 gotta 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 :o

* 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 :o

* 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.

How about,you can give out to your dog but god help anyone else who does.

You put your hands/arms at risk by rooting in a ditch for a ball,so the dog does not get hurt.

The pup chews someone's favourite shoes,you take the flak and say you did it.

Dog hair as a condiment? Never thought of it that way... hmmmm.

They forgot the one about turning on the electric blanket when you're out of your bed so your dog can snuggle under the covers in luxury. I do this so the Dink can luxuriate under the heating blanket for hours on end. She really gets miffed when I come back and try to get back in bed to watch TV after she "thinks" I got out of bed for the day!

How about giving your dog your partners sock because he's giving you a sad look? I've given new socks. R is not happy with me.

Shoes, I do it all the time. They're not always old shoes.

Jasper and Chewy both sleep on the bed and I make room for them, not the other way around. Maybe that's why I'm so tired.

Do not laugh, but I take my bunnies for walks. They have little bunny harnesses and a leashes and we walk around the lawn. I tried going up the street with one of them but truth told, you don't walk a bunny, the bunny walks you.

My friends mother bought a stroller for her dog but when her grandchild was born she gave her son a stroller she found being tossed with the trash. Only one of the three wheels that remained was usable. The material was ripped and there was an odd stain but hey, it was free.

The dog stroller cost $350.00. It's made especially for dogs.

Exactly. Little miss edith and I may have only been together for a week now, but I will scratch out the eyes of anyone who tries to hurt her. The same goes for her kittens, once she finally has them. I will do my best to make sure they go to GOOD homes, not homes where they'll be left outside to fend for themselves or not given all the cuddles they deserve.

I'm just worried I won't be able to find them good homes. I can't afford to have more than 2 kitties. I'll have to find the others homes.

I refuse to give animals to the shelter. The only shelter in the county is a kill shelter. They spent a month or two last year putting down all the cats they had to make room for more.

I'm not going to let that happen to my babies.

Now, if edith would just HAVE the babies already. It's hard looking for homes for kittens that haven't been born yet.

Put an ad in the paper and if you don't like something about the peron or persons who respond then wait. I think we animal lovers have a sixth sense about others who don't like animals.

We saved our two kitties from being put to sleep. I wanted to bring all of themm home with me. Now I always tell my friends when they are thinking of buying a cat or a dog to go to the animal shelter instead of a breeder. Our kitties had already been taken care of shot, spayed and nuetered and have microchips.

One-Hundred and Fifty dollars each but all the money goes back into the care of the other animals. You have seen how inhumane some animals are treated by the owners, the people there love them as if they were their own animals. Hope you find good owners for the kitties. Salutations to Ms. Edith...

hheath541
Mar 10, 2010, 01:53 PM
I would rescue an animal from the shelter, if I could afford the adoption fee. Maybe someday. Hopefully it'll be many years before I need to get another kitty.

Edith was a stray that hung around work. My boss fed her leftovers from lunch. When the weather started getting bad, she got put in a back room at night, and all day later on. I told her that if I got a place that allowed pets, I'd give her a home. When I found one and told her about it, she told me her name is edith. Found out she was pregnant a week or two later.

We are all of us just softies. Animals and children and older people are the ones I keep close in my heart. My niece found
A stray cat outside her apartment, took it in fed it named it Socrates.
She took it to the vet to get every thing done and found that
Socrates was female. She's had her now for nearly eight years and we call her Ms. Socrates.

My sister had a cat that kept having kittens. I adopted two of them. Thought they were both boys. Named them tobias and gallagher. Vet thought they were both boys.

Then gallagher got pregnant. She had 4 of the sweetest kittens, all boys (for the most part). Two brown tabbies had 2 black kittens, a silver tabby, and a Maine coon. The main coon and one of the black cats are perfectly normal as far as anyone can tell. The other black cat had 3 balls. The silver tabby had one ball, one that didn't drop, most of a uterus, and felopian tubes. He got spayed AND nuetered at one go.

Gallagher kept her name. Somehow it fit even better knowing she's a girl.

I miss those kitties something awful.

I'll bet you do. When Jasper our seal point died I was at school and my husband called and said it's bad. He was at the vets office
And told me what was wrong diabetes. He was so torn up but I got another teacher to fill in and I went to the vets office and he told us, we can keep him alive but he will be in a lot of pain because his kidneys had started failing.

That would mean shots and maybe he could live another year. We were with him when he was given the shot and he was so peaceful. I really think he had somehow gotten hold of my mother-in-laws medicine. She has alzheimers and used to get mad and throw her medicine. Jas had never been sick the whole ten years we had him

He started peeing on the floor and he had never done that. After two weeks , we took him to the vet. Now listen to this, the vet sais, "cats are finicky, he wouldn't have eaten a pill and I said how did this come on so fast and we didn't notice. For pete's sake that cat was
With us when we went on vacation , he slept with us, we would have noticed sooner. I don't know. I miss that little sweet jaspie. You must love cats as much as we do.

6 months ago I was living with friends. We had 8 (there were 9, but one died about a month before I left) cats, including toby and gally and all 4 of their babies. They decided they didn't want me in their lives anymore, so I left. Left everything behind; friends, everything I owned, and all the kitties.

I finally found a home and moved in just over a week ago. Since then, it's been me and miss edith. Soon, it'll be me, her, and an unknown number of babies.

That's scary starting all over again but seems you're doing okay for yourself and Ms. Edith. Someone knew you needed each other.

I've seen a girl who raised a kitten from before it was weaned pick it up and hug and cuddle it in the street. Then, as soon as she got back to her yard throw that same cat and yell at it and kick it and throw rocks at it. All because her boyfriend, who she was living with, had a dog he trained to kill cats.

That poor cat didn't know what was going on. The person it saw as mommy, who had bottle fed and raised it for the first year of it's life, would love it and hug it one minute, and kick it and throw things at it the next.

I don't know. I hope it's OK, and found someone who really loved it.

they were just as nasty to people. They had a friend living with them who, admittedly, has issues that make it hard to deal with her. 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.

* Your non-dog friends won't eat food prepared in your kitchen.
-MY mother's saying is ''No meal is complete without dog hair.''
* You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are dog nose prints all over the inside.
-Well I can't see out my back windows...
* Your dog sleeps with you.
-He sleeps beside my bed... Most of the time(lets not tell my mom about the others though ;)
* You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your doggies than go to the movies with your sweetie.
-Where I go he goes.
* Your have 32 different names for your dogs. Most make no sense but they understand.
-Rex, Rexy, Rexypoo, Wolfy, Hobo...
* You send birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards from your dog.
-Of course...
* You like people who like your dogs. You despise people who don't.
- My dog seems to be the best judge of character I know... I won't question his judgement.
* You lecture people on responsible dog ownership every chance you get.
-Someone needs to.
* You carry dog biscuits in your pockets all the time.
-You never know when you may need them.
* You talk about your dogs like other people talk about their kids.
- I would say my dog is cuter.
* Your license plate or license plate frame mentions your dogs.
-Oh hell yeah. My Mustang's license plate says'' Rex, True Friend'' and has a pic of a husky.

You reall love your dog when you give him half your steak.

hheath541
Mar 11, 2010, 06:16 PM
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 gotta 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

Kitkat22

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.

once I find a cat brush, that doesn't cost a ridiculous amount of money, it's pretty much a guarantee I'll spend more time brushing kitty hair than my own hair ^_^

Hey, I just did something non-cat-related. Didn't have anything to do with the Internet, either.

I have a pedicure about once evry two months.When we adopted our kitties they were declawed after we had them a while. And they hate getting brushed. Oh by the way you know you love kitties when you allow them to scratch your leather couch and yoou know you can't buy another for a while.

Don't feel too bad. You have probably gone through the rabbit, bird, lizard ,hamster thing with your child, by saying they ran away or their with the other birds. My youngest was six and we had a funeral for a lizard. You do what you got to do with little ones.

Growing up, the only pets we were allowed to have were birds and fish. I usually ended up 'adopting' neighborhood cats or dogs. It was a fairly common occurrence for a dog to follow me home. I always found it's home and was able to return it.

I got an aquarium when I was in high school. I kept fish until I went off to college. When I ended up living with friends, there were cats. At the height, I was living with 9 cats.

When I became homeless, I promised myself that I would try to find a place that would let me have pets. When I met edith, before she even told me her name, I decided that I would do everything I could to give her a home when I found one for myself.

I moved in the beginning of the month, and brought edith home before I even bought groceries. We've been happy in our new home ever since. I'm looking forward to her having the babies. I just wish I could keep them all.

I wish you could keep them too. I have a neighbors cat (he's an outdoor cat) who's been coming around every day. Our neighbor is in a retirement center. She loves that cat so I told her son Patrick we would watch out for Toby. He has a little nook right beside the wood bin. I don't think my kitties like him they stand right up making these growling sounds when I'm outside with him looking through the glass doors.

Next year I'll be going to college, for Human Services and a concentration in Addiction Counselling. And the only way I'm moving into an apartment is if they accept animals. I have Rex(Siberian Husky), Princess and Sox(cats), Shadow(Ferret), and my aquarium full of fish, frogs and eels.

I'm kind of worried about taking my cats, as right now they are indoor/outdoor, but if I were to move away they would have to be indoors all the time.They aren't even litter trained, if thy need to go out the cry at the door( their better house trained then my bros 4yrs old black lab ;) )

k, I got one, how about when you saw the legs of an old couch at your camp, because your dog is very arthritic, and had a hard time getting up on the normal couch and it's too hard for him to get from the down and up position from the floor. Or how about when you carpet the stairs so they can go down stairs, even though there is nothing they could possibly want down there unless they are planning on doing laundry??

When any clothes that fur DOESN'T stick to become your favorites, no matter how much you really don't like them. And you seriously consider buying several more (on in each color).

Kitty, just the other day I was *trying* to squeeze into a pair of pre pregnancy pants size 6. I am about a size 10 myself. Well I was laying on the bed but I just couldn't get a good grasp on the zipper, my hands were sweating, my face was sweating, tears were welling up. So I grabbed a wire hanger and stuck it through the little loop at the end of the zipper and pulled them. My daughter came in and was like "mommy, what are you doing" ? All I could do was laugh. When I stood up I had a major muffin top happening, and no shirt was going to hide that.

Hahaha... You hold your breath and everything else until you get home. If you don't hold yor breath and the snap or button pops off, it could put someone's eye out. I believe it could probably break a window.

Heath, some days when I get home and un do my pants, I can hear my organs sigh in relief when I reach for those sweat pants. I try not to wear my pants disgustingly tight, but I am smallish around the waste, smaller hips, and a big BUTT! Pants are hard to find. So I usually opt for them to be a bit tighter in the waste instead of baggy on my bum and hips. Maybe I should start wearing skirts :p
I haven’t worn a skirt since I was 16!

there's nothing to apologize for ^_^

I, sometimes, use the fact that my screename makes people think I'm a guy to my advantage. There are some subjects people just do not take you seriously in if they know you're a girl.

I'm quite the tomboy. It doesn't bother me one bit if people think I'm a guy, or know I'm a girl.

Don't worry about it. Sometimes it's really hard to tell someone's gender from their screenname. Other times it's easy to make the wrong assumption. I see no reason to get bent out of shape over it.

Now, my mother gets called sir all the time. By people who are talking to her face to face. She keeps her hair really short and wears shapeless clothes.

I LOVE roller coasters. The best part is sitting in the front so you can look down from the top of all the hills. I've been on most of the ones at cedar point. Well, most of the ones they had as of a couple years ago.

I used to take my camera everywhere with me. You never know when you'll find a good picture. Now my camera is acting up and I need to get a new one. Unfortunately, the one I want to $300.

You know you're a dog person if. (NA - not applicable ones removed)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Your freezer containes more dog bones than anything.
You even Beef meat which nobody eat at home!

* You hang around the dog section of your local bookstore way too often.
Very true. Even before grocery purchase, first one is to visit pet shop to purchase and look any thing new came


* You skip breakfast so you can walk your dog in the morning before work.
You very much. He takes many time more priority in list than even children's at home

* 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.
:) even blocking the temple room door with chair to stop him entering there


* You don't go to happy hours with co-workers anymore because you need to go home and walk your dog.
You.. can't keep him alone much


* 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.
Hahha. Do potty do potty do potty do potty. And all falling in deaf ears

* 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.
You more comfortable to take him out there. As many malls don't allow


* 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.
You he been attended first

* Your weekend activities are planned around taking your dog for a hike.
All visits/ picnic/ vacations strictly suitable for him.

* You refer to yourself as "mommy" and "daddy".
You.. even ask when call from office. Where is the most naughtiest son of mine hanging around?


* Your dog sleeps with you.
You he prefer sleeping in lap. Then I pick him to take to his bed

* You'd rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your doggies than go to the movies with your sweetie.
You watching movies at home is the solution

* You keep an extra water dish in your second-floor bedroom, in case your dog gets thirsty at night.
You fresh water always confirmed before we hit bed

* You never completely finish a piece of steak or chicken so the dog gets some too.
More avoid giving leftover.. but many time can't resist. So getup with selected pieces in plate and let him enjoy first. Then continuee having own food


* Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other.Ya. Every time discussign the colour, the status


* You like people who like your dogs. You despise people who don't.
Agree

* You lecture people on responsible dog ownership every chance you get.
Of coarse.
You. Not forget to state, if you feed a hungry dog it won't bite you ever, and that makes it better than a human


* You talk about your dogs like other people talk about their kids.
You very true
