If I Didn't Have a Dog

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 a kennel.

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 and my bed the way I wanted, without
Taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would
Need to get comfortable.

I would have money ......and no guilt to go on a real vacation.

I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put
Their yet unborn grand kids through college.

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 house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.

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,
W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O, R-I-D-E

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat
Ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading
'mud' season.

I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many
Animals?' from people who will never have the joy in their lives of
Knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an
Angel as they will ever get.

How EMPTY my life would be!

:thumbup::thumbup: Great post. I've often wondered how Hair gets in my refrigerator:D

My freezer, and I pulled a pair of sweat pants out of the very top drawer of my closet, now it has to be six feet up, and well when I went out to shop this morning in the brilliant sunshine and looked down, I was a complete hair machine.. can you believe it. I blame the cat on that !

The only animal in our house that doesnt' shed is my yorkie:D

Oh, I love this. It made me laugh...because it's so true!!!! ....especially the spelling of things (squirrel is the number one thing we spell out because Ally just goes insane)..

Thanks for sharing.

I laughed at all of those. Very cute.

Bet ya wouldn't trade it for the world though :rolleyes: I know I wouldn't lol

Ah, but wait until they realize what you are spelling:)

Years ago we used to spell out B A L L - but Penni caught onto it:)

Yep, she's almost there. She does know some letters!

Ain't that the truth. Baxter is a maltipoo, no shed and the girls don't shed.. everybody else....accckkkkkk!!!!! And Bear when he blows his coat....egad, huge black tumbleweeds blow across the floor like the mojave.....

I also should have noted... I did NOT write this, it was sent to me, author unknown.

This is great! I laughed and laughed! Isn't it so true? ;)

Hahaha it is so true! Thanks for sharing :D I could not imagine life without pets!

That was the best! The other day I caught myself spelling something to my husband that didn't even have any meaning to my dogs!! Its become such a habit.

lol made me giggle. great post xxx

:thumbup: Aww, that is so cute, and very true!
