If I didn't have a pet.....

I could walk barefoot around the yard in safety.

My house would be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture and cars would be hair-free.

When the doorbell rings, my home wouldn't sound like a kennel.

When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through all the fuzzy bodies who beat me there.

I could sit on the couch and my bed any way I wanted, without having to take into consideration how much space several fur bodies need to get comfortable.

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

I would not be on a first-name basis with six 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 it ALONE'.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates and makeshift barriers.

I would not talk 'baby-talk'.

Like 'Eat your din-din.' & 'Yummy for the tummy.'

My house would not look like a day care center, with 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...W-A-L-K... T-R-E-A-T...O-U-T...G-O...R-I-D-E...S-U-P-P-E-R...V-E-T or C-O-O-K-I-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 them as 'mud' season.

I would not have to answer the question: 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who will never know the joy of being loved unconditionally by the closest thing to an angel they will ever encounter.

How empty my life would be :!:

I couldn't agree more. I only have one right now, but I am looking for another one to play with him. I love my dogs and could not go though life without them. I would not want to. I love my entire family and they are part of it. I wouldn't have it any other way..................

So funny!! But true!! We live the same way. When we come home frome work, it is chaos until everyone has had their treats, welcomes, and the horse is fed!! My dog, Gus won't let me do anything until we go feed Buster. I'm sort of an ass though...I don't allow them on the bed. The only compromise Mrs.B. was willing to make. Don't think for a second that I'll hesitate to kick one off my spot on the couch for football though!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Dear Slatten

I would have it any other way!

the only problem with more than one dog is you can't properly spoil any of them as any time you spend on one is time you can't spend on another

***********************
Beautiful. I believe I was without a cat for less than 1 month when I called my landlord to state that if he resented a cat in the house, I would relocate. The Burmese I bought became everyone's pet and had free reign of the entire house although my apartment was in the basement. Thanks for that memory even though I am presently surrounded by cats (all born in my present house). It's hard to put a lid on the number as each one has its unique personality or appearance. :D :D :D

Yep, and I could walk around the house naked, without needing to protect my privates as though I was in jail. I could also bend over to dry my feet after a bath, instead of having to sit on the toilet, for fear of getting a cold nose up my bum ( that'll give you a heart attack ).

There must be another Yorkie in Georgia looking for a GREAT home. It is time to start looking, you waited a while before getting this little guy, and tow are better than one. Besides you can take two in one carrier on an airplane if you want to travel, they don't take up much room. We on the other hand have to drive everywhere we want to go because two 150 pound dogs do not fit under any seat anywhere
