If I didn't have a dog...
 

I read this on my FB stream and thought I'd share here too:

If I Didn't Have A Dog

If I didn't have a dog I could walk around the back yard barefoot without worry. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled. My clothing, furniture and other belongings would be free of hair.

When the doorbell rings, my home wouldn't sound like a kennel. I could sit on the couch or lie in my bed the way I want to, without taking into consideration how much space she needs to be comfortable. I would not have strange presents under the Christmas tree like bones, stuffed animals, toys and treats...nor would I have to explain why I wrap them.

I would have no guilt about going on vacation. I would not be on a first name basis with three veterinarians, as I put their kids through college. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be sit, stay, down, come, go pee pee.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates and barriers. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats, and an extra leash. My house wouldn't look like a daycare center with toys strewn everywhere. I would not have to spell out the words, BALL, Treat, bye-bye, walk.

If I didn't have a dog.... how truly empty my life would be.

Love this! :) The zones and looking like a daycare center applies here, lol.

Haha--it's like the author lives with us! :D Thanks for sharing!

If I didn't have a dog, I could sleep in most mornings and have my pillow to myself nights! Instead, there's a fuzzy little face sticking itself right into mine softly growling and a paw digging at me to get up and take him outside first thing in the morning. Plus, I go to sleep with my furbutt's butt almost in my face because he absolutely insists on sleeping right beside my head on the very same pillow. Not much room left on a pillow with a Yorkie and a human head on the same pillow.

So sweet! At least Tibbe is small. My big boy Max likes to share my pillow and sleep under my chin.

Love this! Thank you for sharing!:goodpost:

I love it.

If I didn't have a dog I can walk into my house without being barked at until I say hello to him.

If I didn't have dogs, I'd be 15,000.00 richer and would have a lot more fabric.

But I'd be depressed and wouldn't care, so I'm glad I have the dogs,

If I did not have a dog I would not have met all you lovely people

I can't imagine my life without my fur baby anymore, she brought happiness into my life from the very first day I brought her home :wub:

I love this! It's all very true!
