If I Didn't Have Dogs
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 thru four or five dog bodies who beat me there.
I could sit how I wanted to on
the couch without taking into consideration where several little furbodies
would need to be.
I would not have strange presents
under my 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
the word B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E-E or W-A-L-K.
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 their ONE dog ties them down too much.
I
would look forward to spring and the melting of snow instead of dreading mud
season.
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 find.
Who else has a friend who
considers you the MOST important thing in the whole wide world all the time?
