You may be a pet lover...

If you cannot find a Feb 2015 TV Rental Pet Friendly

If you offer to keep someone's pets for them for the month of February!

When you don’t think it’s the least bit strange to stand outside at 4:04AM chirping “Pee Lulu Lulu...Pee for daddy”, while Lulu Lulu tends to play and forget why she’s out there. You can give 2 !@#$s what the neighbors think.

With a sweet, innocent face like that, I bet Lulu has you twisted around her little paw.

You spend more for their urinary incontinence food than your monthly nail and hair appointment.

You just dropped $650 at the vet and your dog's wearing jammies and you're more concerned about him than your upcoming Visa bill.

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if you find yourself looking for TV shows your pet loves watching and often get stuck with Animal Planet.

(Fortunately for some of us, our last pet who paid any attention to the TV--Sport-- loved watching anything with a moving ball-- golf, football, baseball, soccer, basketball. So, he was in pet heaven and so was my father.) :popcorn:

I rescind the offer to keep your pets for the month of February :shocked:

You try to buy clothes the same color as your pets' fur.

Lollipop loves watching television.
She was a rescue who weighs 70 lbs..
The people who gave her up for adoption found her very annoying.
The biggest complaint they had ....
Whenever a dog or cat appeared on TV, Lollipop would run over and lick the screen.
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.

Now that's funny Bare. Thanks for sharing. :doggie::doggie:

You may be a pet lover.....
 

.....if you love to watch Cesar Millan or Jackson Galaxy on TV.
============
.....if you have arguments with your spouse because you're obsessed with the Animal Planet Channel.
============
.....if you're a dog or cat and you get sexually aroused when another dog or cat of the opposite sex is around.
============
And..... ff you're not annoyed when you see Fifi taking her master out to dinner at a local restaurant or you see another poop thread starting on
TOTV.

You are a pet lover when the pet hotel (kennel) bill was as almost as big as yours on vacation and you just smile, realizing the total included a frost paw and tuck in sevice and knowing she was taken care of with no worries while you were away.

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if your pockets are almost always full of bags for poop clean-up.


I resemble those remarks. :coolsmiley:

Huh? Even the one where I said "if you're a dog or cat and you get sexually aroused...."? http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/im...es/scratch.gif

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.

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if you have an old set of shoes designated just for the dog park. :crap2:


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.

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if you have baby shampoo but no visiting grandkids scheduled.

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.

... 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. :D

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,,,,,,,,,,,

YIKES!! :) that's cute! If I stand back from the situation and look at it, it's kinda ca-ca...but, c'est la vie. I love my baby-cats, and that's it. The house is their's, too and I can't imagine life without a pet. I knew it was an animal when I took it in, I can't make it something else now, huh?

you're a pet lover when:

You choose your bedding for the dogs, not yourself. I have to have a washable bedspread cause my two little dogs sleep with us.

.......your small dog shares your pillow at night!

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if you back yard lawn looks a six year old's color palette after she tested all the shades of green and yellow available. And, added some recently covered black holes to boot. Maybe, some grey from these?

Anyone who has been to one of the Villages' dog parks or Doggie Doo Run Run should have an idea of what I am talking about here.

You may be a pet lover...
 

You know you may be a pet lover if you're willing to follow these instructions to wash your cat:

1. Put both lids on your toilet seat up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water.
2. Pick up the cat, pet and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet tank and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the loud noises, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".
6. Have someone open the door(s) to your lanai or pool area. Be sure that there are no people between the toilet and the front door.
7. Standing behind the commode as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the bowl, streak through the room and run like a bat out of hell into the lanai or pool area where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

I have done this....it works!!:1rotfl:

...if you have taken claws to the knees from begging cats!

I used to catsit as well as housesit for my older brother whose girlfriend had taken in a huge Tomcat before they got married of maybe 24 lbs. This cat named Mephistopheles and/or Butthead had a unique way of begging. He would get under the table where I was eating and watching TV from the couch. I would see a claw moving in for the kill and in it would go into my knee or leg if this pussy did not get his fill of meat.

I certainly thought of cleaning Butthead in this way!!!

You’ve come to the conclusion that anyone who hates dogs just can’t possibly have a soul.

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if you plan your trips to Europe around restaurants which allow dogs because you miss yours so much. http://goeurope.about.com/od/travelw...pet_travel.htm

You might be a pet lover...
 

...if while trying to listen to a Sumter Court Clerk talk about Jury Duty and hearing a groaning coffee maker that sounded like a whining dog all you can think about is missing that time you would have had with your dog at Doggie Doo Run Run. Rather than, of course, actually listening to the Court Clerk talk!
