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 through four or five (or seven) dog bodies who beat me there.

I could sit how I wanted on the couch without taking into consideration where several little fur bodies would need to get.

I would not have strange presents under my Christmas 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.

The 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 words such as:
B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E-E, T-R-E-A-T, etc.

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 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 them the MOST important thing in the whole wide world all the time?

Sounds like my house!

If I didn't have dogs? Well:

I could turn over in bed at night without fear of disturbing small furry bodies.

I could wake up at night and not have a patrol to escort me to the bathroom.

I wouldn't wake up at night because of large,loud snores coming from tiny moist noses.

I wouldn't laugh as they play "don't look at me" and barked at each other.

I wouldn't call my husband daddy and he wouldn't call me momma.

My life would be pretty boring!

Laugh!

One from my list. . .

I would use a regular vacuum cleaner instead of a ShopVac.
