"pick of the litter" information, resources & connections
You know you are a dog owner when...
You know you are a dog owner when...
If you get startled in your sleep, you jump out of bed assuming someone is eager to go potty.
You don't get grossed out by the sight of drool on the leather couch or the ceiling for that matter.
You start to think of every small bag that comes your way as a potential poop bag.
You don't really go on vacations.
You simply just pick the the random dog hair off your plate, w/out any comment or wince, as your guest looks over in disgust.
You think of your schedule in terms of potty times and how long you can be away from home before the dog needs to be let out.
You find yourself talking about your dogs like your family, friends and co-workers talk about their children
Your dogs picture is in your wallet...On the walls of your house...On the night-stand
You refer to yourself as "mom" or "dad"
You ask people how they like their vaccum
You even have a lint roller in your car
Can anyone add to the list?

You wonder what is in your coat pocket while grocery shopping, and it turns out to be a 'just in case' poop bag.

The backseat of your car is covered in dog hair...and you really just stopped caring about it!

Your dog can vibe you in the middle of the night, to get up and go downstairs, in an elevator, in your pajamas, at 3 or 4 in the morning, to pee and poop - rain or shine. True dedication.
Your dog's exercise becomes more important than your own.
Your car is full of dirt, hair and mud and you don't mind.
You talk to your dog as if their is another person in the room or on a walk and hope people don't think you are crazy, talking to yourself.

You roll over at night to cuddle with your spouse and there are two wet noses in the way.

and your partner gladly grabs a towel to cover the seat versus giving you grief about cleaning it
