DOGSHOWAHOLICS ANONYMOUS...
Good Afternoon. I am a DOGAHOLIC. I would like to welcome all of you
to this month's meeting of "Dogaholics Anonymous". Some of you are
here tonight because a friend or relative brought you. You may be
sitting here thinking that you are OK, and that you really don't need
any help.
It is not easy to admit that you are a Dogaholic, and it is even
harder to bring yourself to a DA meeting for help. DA is here to
assist you. I have some questions to ask. If you can answer YES to
three or more of the following questions, you have come to the right
place.
* Can you say "BITCH" in public without blushing?
* Do you drive a station wagon, van, RV or 4x4 when everyone else
drives a real car?
* Do you have more than one car? One for you, and one for the dogs?
* Do you spend your vacations and holidays going to shows,
specialties, and seminars, when everyone else goes on a cruise?
* If you do go overseas, is it London in March to attend Crufts, or
Finland in June to attend the World Dog Show?
* Do you discuss things at the dinner table that would make most
doctors leave in disgust?
* Do you consider formal wear to be =2 0 clean jeans, and freshly
washed tennis shoes?
* Is your interior decorator R.C. Steele?
* Was your furniture and carpets chosen to match your dogs?
* Are your end tables really dog crates with tablecloths thrown over
them?
* Do you know the meaning of CD, CDX, UD, UDX, TD, TDX, HIC, JH, SH,
MH, OTCH, CH, AJ, AJX, MACH, FD, VST, FTCH, WC, FC, OAJ, NGDC and
AFC?
* Is your mail made up primarily of dog catalogs, dog magazines, show
photos and premium lists?
* Do you get up before dawn to go to training classes, dog shows and
seminars...but have trouble getting up for work?
* If you have dresses, do they all have pockets? Do those pockets
often contain freeze-dried liver, Rollover, clickers, or squeaky
toys?
* When you meet a new person, do you always ask them what kind of dog
they have... and do you pity them if they don't have one?
* Do you remember the name of their dog before you remember their
name?
* Do you to find non-dog people boring?
If you answered YES to one of the above, there is still hope. If you
answered YES to two of the above, you are in serious trouble.
If you answered YES to three or more, you have come to the right
place.
