If I didn't have dogs......
1. I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety. 2. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. 3. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of dog hair 4. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like the kennels. 5. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through dog bodies who beat me there. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. I would not be on a first-name basis with three veterinarians. 9. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: "out," "sit," "down," "come," "no," "stay," and "leave him/her/it ALONE." 10. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers. 11. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, dog treats and an extra leash. 12. I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E-E, R-I-D-E, C-O-O-K-I-E, or W-A-L-K. 13. I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside. 14. I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much. 15. I'd look forward to spring and the melting of snow instead of dreading "mud season." 16. I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many dogs?" 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. 17. How empty my life would be. |

VERY!!!  After several months you refer to the "doctor" as doctor again, instead of calling him the "VET!" |
| Thats wonderful Elissa! Thanks for sharing!
I'd like to add one more too. I often wear black tights with dresses in the wintertime and often joke about my "hairy legs" as more often than not I glance down and see white sheepie hair on my black tights. Yup, dog owners are a special breed too..seems we can laugh at ourselves. Marianne and the boys |
| Very true and well done elissa, did you write that, if so I am very impressed. |
Great! I wasn't expecting to hear from you til after the holidays!! Are you home or here on the east coast with the rest of us frozen northerners???? |
| All very true.

That is hilarious Elissa! I LOVE # 11, so true  |
| I LOVE IT! All true...where are you now? On the east coast freezing your tush off too? |
| Hi All,
I didn't write it but definitely could have, because I identified with every single one of those. lol
I am in NJ...Other than freezing my butt off I am having a good time. I've got to see my Cousins and Friends. I am having Brunch in Jersey City tomorrow with my Aunt and Uncle. We have been eating like pigs  I probably gained 5 lbs since Sunday  Oh well, It's not often that I get to pig out on good food. Pizza, Cheese steaks, Calzones, Cannollis, Diner Food mmmmm.
Did I mention it's cold here?!? I never used a scarf, hat or gloves when I lived here. I feel like I look like the kid from "A Christmas Story" So bundled up that I could hardly walk
Hayley does not like wearing jackets. The most she every wore in California was a hoody Sweatshirt. She's been her usual happy self. Impressing people every place we go. People constantly are saying "Is she always this happy?" She is  She just smiles and dances and babbles.
Pepsi is doing well with my sister and climbed up her stairs yesterday for the first time. Her house is the only place he's ever seen stairs. She said he walked upstairs looked around and came right back down. He's not eating much, but he's ok |
