Pet care

You know you're a dog person when...

All kinds of things around the house are in need of repair, but the injured dog you rescued by the side of the road requires immediate surgery and out comes the checkbook.

All your social activities revolve around other dog people.

Your voice is recognized by your vet's receptionist.

And after 3 and a half hours of grooming you let that beautiful creature out to go potty before bedtime and he turns and looks back at you, all clean and pretty, he smiles a little smile that warms your heart so deeply that words can never say. A picture you will remember forever. When the dog comes back in you realize he has been rolling in the dead bird/squirrel you thought you carefully buried that morning.

Complete strangers call you on the phone to ask questions because they heard you were a" dog person".

It takes an entirely separate garbage can to handle dog poop.

No matter how large your bed is, it is not large enough for you and your dog(s).

No one wants to ride in your car because they know they'll get dog hair on their clothes.

The instructions to the dog kennel are longer than the instructions to the house sitter.

While proudly showing off your family album, your guest asks, "Isn't there anyone else in your family besides the dog?"

You become the family dog kennel for all your relatives.

You believe it is your duty to talk to, pat, and even feed every dog in the neighborhood. You know their names.

You can't see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are nose-prints all over the inside.

You don't think twice about trading licks of an ice cream cone with your dog.

You go to pet supply stores on weekends because it's one of the few places you can take your dog.

You take your dog for rides in the car and treat him to a drive-thru window burger at Mcdonalds on special occasions.

You have little songs that you sing to your dog, and she always wags when you sing, even though you can't carry a tune.



You know your a cat person when...

You think cat fur makes a wonderful garnish to any meal.

You meow so well, you confuse the cats.

All of your clothes have cat hair on them, even when they come back from the laundromat or dry cleaners.

You call long distance and talk with your cat.

Kiss your cat more than 10 times per greeting.

Onlookers grimace at the sight of you sharing your sandwich with your cat, bite for bite.

The only thing your friends, colleagues, and passing acquaintances say to you when they see you is, "How are the cats?" or "How many cats do you have now?"

You avoid vacuuming the house as long as possible because your cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner.

You have kiddie gates permanently installed at strategic locations in the house--but no kids.

You have no reservations about kissing your cat on the lips, even when you know where his lips have been.

You keep eating even after finding a cat hair in your pasta.

You keep license tags from cats that have passed away.

You give your cat your last name.
