You get ridiculously excited that a store is having a sale on tug toys and you're not only disappointed, but you also seriously don't understand why everybody else isn't as happy as you are x.x!

...........or when you see a dog food commercial and say,wow I bet that tastes good!

 

[Xeph]

Or when you think nothing of having to rub aloe on burned testicles because your dog sat on blazing hot Texas pavement x.x

Tell me about it...Strauss has a scar from that

OK, so sort of a continuation from the other thread.... Good reasons to neuter a dog. To prevent burned testicles from hot Texas pavement. LOL

You know you're too into dogs when a great Friday night is a house party with Doggy guests.

 

[Lounrox]

When you ask your tax lady if you can claim your dogs as depenants because you spend so much money to take care of them during the year lol
And the she responds she wish's because she is just as quilty as I am lol

 

[Inga]

Oh and when you get annoyed because someone cannot see how incredibly wonderful your dog is.

ex. They complain that they have a dog hair from your dog on their pants.

When people ask to see a picture of your kids, you pull out pictures of the fur family

I do that all the time. People show me pictures of kids and I show pictures of Upendi.

 

[Inga]

When you look at someone with a bunch of kids and think..."my kids are cuter then yours" and you don't have any human kids. lol

As it turns out I often think that. I also notice how "my kids" are better behaved then most human children also. lol

When you're in a room where people are talking about cars, and when you hear the word 'Evo' you think of the dog food...

 

[Xeph]

Y'know, if more people went all Cesar Milan "Calm Assertive" (or even better! Karen Pryor!) on their kids, maybe they'd bloody well behave x.x

When you spend all day at work with dogs, on your lunch break you get on the computer to check the dogforum or just look at doggy youtube vids. You are excited to go back into the room with the dogs. You then get home and play with and walk your dogs, then get back onto the dogforum to read more about dogs. On Saturday you wake up a little sad because you realize you won't be spending the day with 20+ dogs. Sunday night you are excited to go to work and spend the day with a bunch of dogs.

 

[Toby4Life]

You plan your entire vacation (and extremely inconvenience everyone you are going with) around the fact that your dog is part of your family so a family vacation HAS TO include him.

 

[winniec777]

You spend 4 days of your vacation driving 2,000 miles because you'd rather spend it with her vs. boarding her at home.

 

[Keechak]

When you drive hundreds of miles for a new puppy and your family thinks your crazy because "There were plenty of puppies of that breed for sale in the local papers."

If I ever have kids - I am seriously going to clicker train them and use every aspect of Operant Conditioning on them. Instead of treats, I'll give them quarters or something.

Seriously.

Anyway, I know I'm too into dogs when...

-I see nothing odd about burned testicles.

-I didn't think that preventing burned testicles was funny, but a good reason for neutering (add it to the health benefits!)

-Every time I see a dog - I'm constantly looking for calming signals.

-I go to PetCo/PetSmart and wonder why people don't respect a dog's calming signals - then wonder why they get barked at meanly by a dog.

-Same as above, but they wonder why their dog got snapped at.

-I am relieved when they still have a bag or two of 101 treats and wonder why they don't just stock more.

-When I'm here (or the internet) looking for new ways of training a certain behavior, or just training in general.

-When I groom Wally, then take him out and show him to people to get their opinions.

When you know more dogs than people...well, okay, I know tons of people, but at work I know more of the dog's names than their owners; For some reason I am horrible with human names, but I can see a dog once, and I remember him\her the next time...Lol!

 

[alphadoginthehouse]

You'd rather spend a Friday night at home with the "kids" than go on a date!
