You know your a proper dog owner.......

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!!

I am loving this thread- long may it continue!!!

When you rush after a person to tell them why the dog food they bought should be avoided like the plague   Yes, I did do that

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

When you work full time and yet you time your walks so that your dogglet can meet his / her friends......

...........your Oh asks you were something is and you reply it's in the dogs room!
...........your Oh gets food out of fridge and you say "you can't have that it's for the dog"
..........you don't know what you did with your time before you had one!

I stand at the shop door holding Gari and call someone over to get me what I want. I did actually say he was an assistance dog once - he was assisting me choosing my sandwich, they didn't laugh.

I get really bad urges to lecture people on dog food all the time... I've managed to contain them so far but now i know it's not just me i might have to do it.

.....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 


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.
