If I Didn't Have Dogs...

I could walk around the yard barefoot and in safety.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.

When the doorbell rang, it wouldn't sound like a kennel and I could get to the door without

wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.

I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how

much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.

I would have money ....and no guilt to go on a real vacation.

I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand kids

through college.

The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave

him/her/it ALONE.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.

My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.

My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.

I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O, R-I-D-E

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading 'mud' season.

I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who

will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as

close to an angel as they will ever get.


How EMPTY my life would be

So very true & I wouldn't change it for anything!

I would be C-R-A-Z-Y!! They are stress relievers!!

My mortgage would already be paid off!

Just sometimes, for a little while, it would be nice.

...I'd be able to go to the bathroom alone!
