We Heard it thru
The Grapevine…
(Got it in our e-mail)
YOU CAN TELL YOU ARE
OWNED BY PETS WHEN...
Running
out of paper towels is a household crisis.
You
have a bumper sticker that reads ‘My Greyhound Is Smarter Than Your
Graduate Student.’
You
wish someday they would manufacture Teflon furniture.
Given
the choice of having your teeth cleaned or their teeth cleaned, they get
their teeth cleaned.
You
not only allow pets on the couch, guests have to sit on the floor because
the dog has ‘territorial issues.’
You've
forwarded more warnings about the dangers of chocolate, onions and
mistletoe than the National Centers for Disease Control has issued about
anthrax and smallpox.
You
needed a prescription to recover from ‘Old Yeller.’
You
wear white year-round, not because you are flouting a fashion law or
belong to a religious sect, but because you have a Dalmatian, Great
Pyrenees, Samoyed or white Persian at home.
The
world would never guess from your ‘doggie woofs’ or kitty speak’ posts to
e-lists that in reality you are chairman of the IBM corporation.
Vacuum
cleaners in your household don't just die, they go out with more smoke and
noise than the 4th of July!
For
relaxation, you went mall shopping with a friend. Your eyes glazed over
when you saw a sign in front of a pet shop, ‘20 percent Off All Puppies &
Kittens,’ and it took three security guards to get you safely confined in
the manager's office.
You spend eleven months of the year
preaching an appreciation and understanding of canine behavior and the
nature of the dog, then stick fake reindeer antlers on the dog and
photograph him for your Christmas Card.”
Thanks to Carleen N. for sharing this
