If I didn’t have Boxers…
1) I could walk around safely barefoot in the dark.
2) My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
3) All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture and cars would be free of dog
hair.
4) When the doorbell rang, it wouldn't sound like the SPCA kennels.
5) When the doorbell rang, I could get to the door without wading thru
four or five dog bodies who beat me there.
6) I could sit how I wanted to on the couch without taking into
consideration where several little fur bodies would need to get.
7) I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree ...like dog
bones and stuffed animals; and have to answer to people who ask why I
wrap them up.
8) I would not be on a first name basis with a vet.
9) The most used words in my vocabulary would not be Potty, Outside,
Sit, Down, Come, NO, GET DOWN, and Leave him/her ALONE.
10) My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates.
11) My purse would not contain things like poop pick up bags and dog
treats.
12) I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, T-R-E-A-T-S,
O-U-T-S-I-D-E, and F-R-I-S-B-E-E.
13) I would not buy weird things to stuff into "kongs," or
have to explain why I'm buying them, or what a "kong" is.
14) I would not have as many leaves and Pine Straw INSIDE my house as
outside.
15) I would not look strangely at people who think having their ONE dog
ties them down too much.
16) 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??? |
