    You vacuum one room with the Dyson and it needs emptying - 90% black hair, 10% mud. :eek:

    It's all about him....your social life is around HIM (my 8 month old puppy Cooper).
    Your daily schedule is figured around him! He has changed my life for the BEST!
    He is first....I am a far second! But love every moment......

    You leave lights on and the television on when you go out in the evening, that is if you brace yourself to go out in the evening ;)

    I always feel awful leaving Lady alone. I don't think she really cares though! :-[

    ....You have more pokes and scratches on your hands than jewelry....

    .... You think it's time for new glasses as everything seems out of focus....only to find that you just need to clean the puppy kisses from the lenses! ::)

    ... you find yourself wanting to scream, "Willow, just go to SLEEP!" at your over-tired, restless puppy who is doing everything she knows she shouldn't just because she needs some shut-eye... :eek:

    Your dog walking waterproofs smell vaguely of fox pooh.

    In our case you actually change your total wardrobe FROM black (Bones was black) to all earth tones. Then you progress to changing all your soft furnishings and the curtains, too, so you can't see the blonde dog hairs too much.

    When the bathroom gets redone, you nix the cool grey tones you had originally hankered after and go for warm terracotta and cream... New carpet for upstairs? Think a nice beige colour would be most appropriate...

    You are in a supermarket shopping for food & are inexplicibly drawn to the dog treat/toy aisle.

    Or you have a yellow dog but buy a black suit anyway and you have an important meeting and ask your hubby 'is my butt covered in yellow fur' and he says no but he is wrong and you sit through the meeting looking like your suit has been knitted from yak hair....

    ...the floors in your house have become a human health hazard due to the number of bones/toys scattered about just waiting to break your ankle!

    They automatically say no to any question that begins "is my butt...."

    Also questions that involve the word 'fat'. e.g.

    Me: "Do my thighs look fat in these jeans?"
    Hubby: "No".
    Me: "What's that then?"
    Hubby: (frightened high voice) "I don't know".
