When the door bell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.
When the doorbell rings, 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 not have strange presents under my Christmas tree-dog bones,
stuffed animals, toys, treats nor would I have to explain to people why I
wrap them.
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 words used 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 and extra
leash.
I would no longer have to Spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E, W-A-L-K,
T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-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 don't have a dog.
