Do you find yourself among that rare breed of dog lover that your friends think have gone just too far in your love for your dogs? Read on and see if any of these dog lover traits sound all too familiar. You circle the parking lot over and over trying to find that perfect spot for your pooch. You know the one I mean not too close to the construction or traffic, in lots of shade on a warm day, and by all means in plain view of the door so that he or she can see all the comings and goings. We wouldnt want our dogs to be too bored or lonely while were in the market, gym or post office. Even if its threatening rain, we take our dogs along, thinking we can always wipe out the soggy car later. Its more important that our dogs get a chance to get out and about, even if it means open car windows on a rainy day. We fluff up their bed just one more time, to make sure theyre comfy cozy during the night-time hours. And of course, if they should deem our bed more to their liking at 4:00 a.m., were happy to oblige with a scoot to the edge, braving cold toes or worse yet, a dangerous fall-off to the floor below. If they ask to be in the bathroom with us during our morning shower, well leave the door ajar should they feel an urgent need to leave, even if it means less privacy and a strikingly cold draft. We plan our dinner outings around their eating habits, begging them to chow down early so that we can sit in comfort at a restaurant awaiting our entr, awash in the peaceful fog of knowing theyre safe at home with full tummies. We wouldnt dream of keeping the TV too loud, the house too warm, or running low on dog cookies, treats and toys. We announce our comings and goings explaining when well be back, how long well be gone and what well bring them when we return. All in all, we know what life would be like without our dogs, and we shudder to think of the possibility. Are you a member of this rare breed of dog lover? If you are, then join the ranks with the best of the best we cant all be crazy, can we? |
