.....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.

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

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
