I resemble those remarks.

Huh? Even the one where I said "if you're a dog or cat and you get sexually aroused...."?

Well, Sport used to often have to be pulled off of various female and male dogs he was trying to hump. It was a dominance thing.

Beau does not do that thankfully. He just loves laps. He does get me in trouble when he claims a lap of someone who owns a jealous Boxer or some other very large pooch.

If I found the right female human lap, I might be as overjoyed as Beau often is.

We easily trained her to stop licking the television.
However she still watches TV and when she sees an animal, she pants and moans.
She especially enjoys the Westminster Dog Show.

Beau shows no interest yet in TV but you never know how a young dog's mind might develop.

You bought your home in TV mainly because it had a fence, and not because it was the style you loved but because it had a house plan your dogs could best live with. If they're happy, we'll make due.

AND you decorate that home so the dogs are comfortable there and you don't have to fight against that all the time.

AND you buy a motorhome so you can take your dogs when you vacation.

AND you choose your car because it has enough dog room.

AND you choose most of your wardrobe according to dog friendly fabrics and colors.

OMG, I have to stop, I'm starting to scare myself.

Lollipop is a lucky girl to have you and with very good taste. She's invited over for the Hound Group next February.

Not to mention a car with the same color interior.

When you catch yourself talking to the dog as if they were human.

...you spend more $$ to have the front entry screened in, so your kitties can see what's out front too.
...your first consideration when planning a vacation is who can take care of the kitties.
...you don't buy leather furniture anymore, because declawing is a no-no and fabrics are easier to replace.
...you have multiple scratching posts and several tree houses for said kitties to play in and scratch claws on.
AND...the biggest (maybe)...you ALMOST think it's normal to see a cat sleeping above your kitchen cabinets. I still struggle with this one, but THEY are winning.

Our last cat won that battle. We gave up and put a towel up there, then endured the haughty, holier-than-thou stink-eye looks from on high.

I used to cat sit for a very long time family friend. He had three cats which would chase one another across the kitchen cabinets that were lower down and then jump on top of the refrigerator to get higher and then keep climbing as high as these three could get. All the time going at top speed.

... if you sleep on the couch so the dog can spread out in your bed.

[Barefoot]

... if you design games to amuse your dogs.
Like stay/hide and seek.

Where the dogs are told to stay in the living room
while their human runs around the house looking for embarassing
hiding places, like in a closet, behind the bed, in the bathrub,
... you get the idea.

And then the human calls to the dogs "come find me" and
tries to hold her breath while the dogs runs happily all over the
house looking for her.

And then the dogs find the human and there is a jumble of happiness
and then they do it all again. And again. And again.
And the dogs never get tired of the game.
And the dogs never figure out the hiding places.

... only dog lovers will understand the appeal of this game.

Only one gets up there...the baby (2 yrs.) gets up high in our closet. Crazy cats!

I once gave my daughter a serving platter that says "Everything Tastes Better with Cat Hair on it). As far as I know she still has it an uses it.

When your dog gets older, you make some steps for it to ease climbing on to bed, the couch, the truck, the window look out,,,,,,,,,,,
