........ when you find poo bags in your designer handbags,
your "Fav" coat is now your walking jacket (nothing trendy anymore),
you carry a dog hair removing lint roller everywhere,
you have to check all pockets before washing for dog biscuits,
you must close all upstairs doors for fear of whirlwinds (aka Poppy)
all used tissues must be placed out of cocker reach....
and your most used phrase is "sorry she is only a puppy" :005:
Would not change a thing though :luv: :luv:
-
:lol: That's so true - with a couple of exceptions ;) (no designer stuff here - can't afford it with 3 dogs :D )
you carry a dog hair removing lint roller everywhere,
ph34r this one i don't do so am often walking aroung like a fur magnet :shades: :005:
Doesn't matter what i wear as Fern is mainly white and Jock is black and Braan is brown :shades: Used to get away with it when we only had jock as I always just wore black as the hairs didn't show :005:
-
awwwwwww.........
so true :005:
there's also
- when your dog decides that pairs of socks and pairs of slippers cannot live 'together' and must be kept completely separately for the safety of everyone at all times....
- when your dog decides that the most appropriate greeting for a guest is to press into the guest's hand a pair of your knickers (that weren't in the clean washing pile ::) )
- when you avoid, at all costs, people on your walks that are wearing trousers that are a) pale in colour and b) very clean (i.e without muddy paw embellishments.....) or ladies with skirts on that your cocker will entwine himself in.....
ISN'T IT GREA ?? :D (actually, I wouldn't swap the lessons in humility FOR THE WORLD :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv: )

:rofl1: That's me! :lol: :005:
Don't have designer bags, but poo bags (empty) in every handbag.
My favourite jacket used to be a really nice one, now it is my waterproof thing with lots of pockets and a nice deep hood.
I have many small (pocket size) lint rollers, very practical since I like wearing black, but have a golden cocker.
Whirlwind inside the house is nothing out of the ordinary anymore.
Tissues safely placed om top shelves.
I am lucky because Laurië still looks like a puppy, an adorable barking and exeptionally bouncy puppy.
I love being a dog owner, but I can understand why "normal" people laugh at us ph34r

......and the garden that had a 2k garden designer ph34r only last summer now looks like a mud bath and has more holes than a little !!!
but as long as he is enjoying himself !! :005: :luv:
-
.....your favorite footwear is wellies/walking boots....no more 6 inch heels ::)
.....whatever your original floor colour..it is now nearly always a brown colour ::)
.....your favorite ornament is the mop...well its always out :005:
.....your arms have grown by 2 inches...of course my dog walks to heel ph34r
and finally
......your heart no longer belongs to you....someone stole it :luv: :luv:

You're a dog owner when you have a conversation with someone whilst holding a bag of dog poo ph34r.
-
Forgot this one......
when the first conversation you have with your OH on returning from work is.....
"Yes she has had wee's and a poo and yes it was quite a solid one......" :005:
What has become of our "normal" life ph34r :005:
-
... When you decide to lino' the whole downstairs of your house to adoid hoovering dog hair. :embarassed:

My husband always asks "has he done the full compliment?" and if I say he has been but not a "full load" then Dave declares himself on "bum watch" :005: We have an unhealthy obsession with Griffin's bum!
-
...when no outfit is complete without dog hair...
...the grooming table has pride of place in the sun room as it is used almost daily...
...you spend all your time addicted to websites where you can discuss all things cocker spaniel!...

... You automatically pull on your jeans, walking boots and anorak, then realise that you really should be dressing up a little to meet your friend for lunch.
... You call a child in the park "a good boy".
... A dog comes into your work and you can produce any assortment of biscuits from your pocket.
... You never go anywhere with a bag anymore, unless it's a poo bag.
:lol:
-
.....poo bags.....
we went out with friends for a meal (nice, dressy, fab restaurant, really nice night out etc) after christmas, and at some stage both me and the friends wife pulled out (new) poo bags from our pockets, by accident! We then spent a large part of the meal comparing the relative merits of Tesco v Sainsbury poo bags (aka nappy bags)... :005:
They have a cocker as well ;)
Oh yes, I know I'm a proper dog owner, because my car is never clean any more, inside or out....really must treat myself to something a little more cocker-friendly shortly..
-
Your decorating and furnishing choices are based on whether they will show the mud/hair, and if they are easily cleaned.
-
How true all these posts are!!!! ;) :005: :005:

this was me yesterday....buying a new stair carpet and looking for a colour that resembled the colour of mud :005: ::)
-
When you offer a friend a lift in you car and have to find something for them to sit on so they don't get covered in hair!
Oh and by the nose prints on every window, car or house!
How about the cobwebs outside are all hairy!
I can relate to all of the other comments too!

Yes like this morning when I was on the last lap getting ready to leave for work when you turn around and get biscuit slobber down your black work suit trousers...
Or when the 'fur monitor' on the beige staircarpet is flashing at you. well I think I've lost the plot altogether, when I have the X-cross lab I had dark brown carpet, now I have Coco (black & tan) I have beige carpet, downstairs I'm party to designer, mud and skid marked laminate flooring does anyone else have clean floors for approximately 10 mins while its in the process of drying after being mopped.
-
......when you look at your shopping list that consists of pilchards (for the dog) carrotts (for the dog), baby wipes (for the dog) & a knife (yep for.........scraping the mud off boots after a walk with the dog)
& when like this morning something must have tipped over in the boot & I had to stop myself from apologising to the dog for taking the corner too quickly & he wasn't even in the car ph34r
-
when you used to spend your weekends in John Lewis....
Now it's Pets at Home. :D
-
....when you don't mind how many plants, twigs, fircones etc they bring in from the garden and proceed to chew up on the carpet ....... but shout and scream at the kids for not tidying their rooms or leaving their trainers out :lol:
-
How true this thread is. :005:
-
Oh this is great!
When you get rid of your second car (nice wee two seater) and get a van instead - thinking oh it'll be great for the dogs!
-
When you come back in after being away for just a couple of hours and your 8 month old cocker has turned into an Andrex puppy and 'decorated' the bathroom (which is downstairs) floor with loo paper, but you smile quietly as you clear it up and then it occurs to you that had one of the children done the same when they were little, you'd have gone ballistic! ph34r
-
How true this thread is i have been smilling and nodding my head to most of the posts on here.Also when you end up having to put the washer on again as your dog took your pile of clean washing you have just ironed to make himself a bed out of it while you answer the phone
-
.... when you have permanent 'nose art' on you car & patio windows... :005:
-
When the door goes and the first words out of your mouth are "Sit! Stay!" even if you're at someone elses house, minus dog! :005:
-
.... when you have permanent 'nose art' on you car & patio windows... :005:
Ah is that what it is 'Nose Art' :005: when OH is complaining he can't see out the window again I'll let him know it's art :005:
-
You're a dog owner when you have a conversation with someone whilst holding a bag of dog poo ph34r.
mmm I do this all the time ph34r
For anybody that has a blue roan, we have found the most PERFECT blue roan cushion floor - it matches Blue perfectly. Our previous flooring was white - that was before we had a dog, never again :005:
-
What a great thread :rofl1: :rofl1:
And I thought it was just me that has "nose art" everywhere, a comfy coat with lots of pockets, no bag without poo bags or biscuits in it etc.etc.
All the dog owners around here must think I'm a complete scruff as I don't go out looking immaculate and always have a silly hat on to keep out the cold.

When you sell your 2004 model Audi Quattro Estate and buy a van because the dog will have more room ph34r
-
when you used to spend your weekends in John Lewis....
Now it's Pets at Home. :D
That's so me!
And I never offer anyone a lift anymore - I'd be too embarrassed!
-
When you meet another dog and talk to the dog, telling it how lovely it is and asking it its name, before even acknowledging there is a person with it.
-
When you turn round to your kids and say 'leave it' or 'off'.
-
when you're picking out dog toys or bedding and say to your OH....do you think she'll like it
-
When you turn round to your kids and say 'leave it' or 'off'.
I did this with the dance class kids, they were messing about, I just shouted sit, I must admit I'd never seem them move so quick. Me I just turned around to face the other way. I was told, I covered my mouth and rolled my eyes..

When even after becoming recently engaged your phone wall paper is still the picture of your babies. :luv:

-
Similar to Matthelen,I've replaced the screensaver on my computer from my kids to my puppy. How sad, but we all agree it's really cute to see him there on show in the hall for all to see. (BTW the kids told me to do it!)
-

-
When you get a salesman round to measure up for a new door - spend 15 minutes on talking about the door and then 1 HOUR talking about dogs and training methods! :lol: Thought he'd never leave :005:
Also my purse is sadly lacking a pic of my daughter but Ben is there ::)
-
:005: :005: :005
You know you are a proper dog owner when you go from being completely squeamish- refusing (nicely) to change nappies for other peoples kids or wipe thier snotty little noses and yet can quite happily pick up a fresh turd and congratulate the dog generally with a running commentary on colour and form!! :005: ;) :rofl1: :rofl1:
I am loving this thread- long may it continue!!! :D
-
When you rush after a person to tell them why the dog food they bought should be avoided like the plague ph34r ph34r Yes, I did do that :embarassed:
-
Just thought of another one...
When sitting down to dinner with OH and you can quite seriously discuss your dogs anal gland problems or diet to make nice solid poos without a second thought about subject matter whilst eating ph34r

-

So true ! When a friend arrived to meet me for lunch this week they said I bet you've got your wellies on, & sure enough I did as had just taken H out for a walk before going out. They seem to be permanantly attached to me at the moment !
H has redesigned my hall carpet with different sizes and colours of brown circles created by his toilet accidents & sick !

Me too, and also when people leave their dogs in cars. I actualy got thanked a few weeks ago, for pointing out the dangers. :shades:
-
......when it takes you three seconds to work out that husband is looking pi**ed off because (a) you just clicked your tongue and said "good boy" to him and (b) he ISN'T actually a dog....
......when your sister (a dog-less person) says "it's only a dog!" and there is hushed silence and shocked looks from my mum (she's as bad as I am), my husband and me - and mum covers Paddy's ears so he can't hear my sister....
.....when your seven year old nephew is gurgling on like a prat and you realise everyone is laughing because he's imitating you talking "normally" to the dog.....
......when you finally treat yourself to that "champagne" coloured fake fur throw from John Lewis for cold evenings in front of the TV - and have now put it, one week later, onto the spare sofa so Paddy can snuggle on it (he likes it and it's a lovely colour contrast to the black fur...... ph34r)
Oh dog....
