    ... you hear whining in the night so you get up, chuck on some clothes and head to the living room, where you see they're completely zonked out and it must have been a dream. :eek:


    Your go!

    I've definitely been there Fiona! For the first month every night featured a false alarm where I was hearing puppy howls in my sleep!

    Nowadays my biggest embarrassment is that I seem to be turning up EVERYWHERE with a whistle around my neck. Fine if you're a PE teacher but turning up with it to a key meeting with my boss and clients the other morning was not so cool. It's an interesting addition to a suit!

    .....you spend more £ on puppy biscuits than human biscuits and pay way more attention to the content.

    You blame yourself when they do something wrong (shouldn't have left that lying around, should have realised they need a poo/pee)

    ......you feel guilty for leaving the house, and to make it worse he gives you the puppy dog eyes as you leave. When your out you are thinking poor lamb so you come back early.

    You open your hand bag in public to reveal several clean poo bags and a couple of pizzles. No make up or things you would expect ???

    The inner seams of every pocket in every pair of jeans are impregnated with dog treat crumbs. And smell of fishcuits.

    You learn for the first time where the 'debris filter' in your washing machine is and how to clear it of dog hair.

    Oh Lordy, that's true too! It's the only reason I have kitchen scales!

    I've just done this one:

    ...every time you empty the washing machine there are 3 or 4 poo bags stuck to the drum. Thankfully, so far, unused poo bags...
