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.”

Pet Tip

for the Month

 

From the HSUS -- Beware of cocoa        mulch and other gardening products. Cocoa mulch can be deadly if ingested and has an appetizing scent to some animals. Pesticides, fertilizers and other harsh chemicals can also be quickly fatal if ingested.
