You may own a dog / cat...

[Dog Dancer]

You know the e-mails we all get "If you ______ you may be a Canadian or you may be an American..."

I think we need to start one about if you _____ you may own a dog/cat. So let me start and please add on - it's just for fun and I'm sure we've got a ton of them.


1. If you drive in -10 weather with the heater on full blast and your car windows open - you may own a dog.

2. If you are outside in your jammies jumping up and down like a fool because your puppy just did #2, you might have a dog.

[Dog Dancer]

Oh yeah - we're rolling now... That's just what I meant. Tks 14+ - now you have to add a kitty one though, you must have a hundred of them!

[14+kitties]

Yep, but I have 2 dogs too.

If you are on your knees digging things out from under stoves/fridges two or three times a day, you might have cats.

If you are outside in -41 degree weather shoveling a path to the catuary (cattery), you might have cats. (a few of them)

If you always have a scratch or two on your hands or arms, you might have a cat.

If you can't find an outfit to wear because they all have cat/dog hair on them, you might have a cat/dog.

K, someone else's turn.

#7- if your best outfits are all black...you may own a black dog

#8-if you find yourself cleaning your patio door 10 times a day....you may own a dog...and a grumpy hubby *L*

...if you sample the can food to ensure it tastes good before feeding your dog (or cat).

Oh just the thought.

[AmericanBullMom]

If you are constantly "saving"your kitties....You might have a dog AND cat household.

If you stub your toes on bones(or a hercules)....you might be a dog owner

If you have to fight for bed space....you might have SPOILED dogs

If you have a container of chicken feet sitting next to your spaghetti... you might be a dog owner

If you see green tripe as a wholesome part of a meal...you might be the owner of a RAW fed dog....

[BenMax]

...if you throw your DH or DW off the couch to make room for the dog...

[Sib.HuskyMom]

If you plan your vacation time around the coat-blowing season (knowing that NO sane pet sitter would be willing to take that on ) you might have a dog.

[Rottielover]

I love this one "If you are constantly "saving"your kitties....You might have a dog AND cat household."(so true)

If you do not mind having a bath with fur, you own a cat or dog

[Love4himies]

If you casually pull cat fur from your food and continue eating you can have cats.

[cpietra16]

If you pick up dog poop,with a smilewhile saying "good puppy"... you definately own a dog and love her too.....

[BenMax]

...if you don't mind re-using scattered toilet paper....

[ancientgirl]

If you wake up half an hour earlier than you need to, you may own a cat/dog.

If you find little bits of litter on your bed, you may have a cat.

If you find holes in your blouses and know it's not moths, you may own a cat

If you have an entire section of your living area dedicated to cat toys, you may own several spoiled cats.

So true. But in my case.... it's the kitchen.

[Melinda]

if you awarded prizes to who ever finds the first hair in their meal............you might own a dog or cat (ok so it gets so bad at times you HAVE to inject humour into meal times)

I could go on, but I have to go see what that crash was out in the living room.

[jillybeanrocks]

If you shovel paths in the lawn so your small dog can go play or go pee...

[lUvMyLaB<3]

if your floor is covered in stuffing from the inside of toys, you may own a dog..

if you tell people your kids names are fluffly, fido, felix.. you may own a cat/dog

If you have baby gates, and no baby, you may own a dog..

If you get excited at the thought of being waken up at 4 am to go outside in -45, you may own a dog..

If you get up at night to walk to the bathroom and you step on 15 things that "squeak" at you, you may have a dog..

heehee I am trying to think of more, how fun! LOVE IT!

[Dog Dancer]

These are sooo funny!! Isn't it terrible that we can all relate to so many of them though??

If you own a "fur" coat, but would never buy a fur coat - you may own a cat/dog.

Keep going, I needed a good laugh, you guys are great.

[Spatx]

Trying to think of some more, lol. I can already relate to so many! The babygate one is still very true for us

If you spend more money on toys, than you do on groceries, you may own a dog.

[ancientgirl]

You have taken to reading nutrition labels, but not for human food.

[lUvMyLaB<3]

if you have noseprints all over your window

if you have EVER apologised to your guests for the "smell

[Dog Dancer]

Oh yeah, the "smell". Not in our house, but my mechanic didn't want to work on the "dogmobile" because of the smell (Halo had upchucked a couple days before).

[TacoGrl]

If you let your cat/dog sniff your food before YOU eat it...

If an afternoon of fun includes crawling around on all fours looking for your necklaces, pens, mittens, socks, underwear, etc...

If the "you touch it, it's yours" rule doesn't apply in your house or you would get nothing to eat!

Everything you buy comes with the question "will it hold the weight of (insert pet name)?"

If your best dress pants have fur cuffs...

[BenMax]

.....if you don't mind the vaccum and steam cleaner always plugged in just in case (even when company comes over)..

....if someone tells you to lock up your pets when they visit and you kick THEM out.....
