If I didn't have dogs.....
I could walk around safely barefoot in the dark
My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated
All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of dog
hair
When the doorbell rang, it wouldn't sound like the SPCA kennels
When the doorbell rang, I could get to the door without wading thru four or five
dog bodies who beat me there
I could sit how I wanted to on the couch without taking into
consideration where several little furbodies would need to get
I would not have strange presents under my tree....like dog bones,
stuffed animals and have to answer to people why I wrap them up
I would not be on a first name basis with a vet
Most used words in my vocabulary would not be: potty, outside, sit, down, come,
no, and leave him/her ALONE
My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates
My purse would not contain things like poop pick up bags and dog treats
I would no longer have to spell the world B-A-L-L and F-R-I-S-B-E-E
I would not buy weird things to stuff into "kongs", or have to explain
why I'm buying them, or what a "kong" is
I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside
I would not look strangely at people who think having their ONE dog ties them
down too much
I would not have to answer the question why do I have so many dogs from people
who will never have the joy in their life of knowing they are loved
unconditionally by something as close to an angel as they will ever get.
Who else has a friend who considers you the MOST important thing in the whole
wide world all the time?
