If I Didn’t Have a Dog… or a Cat…

I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.
My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
All surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.
When the doorbell rings, it wouldn’t sound like a kennel.
I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, with out taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.
When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
I would have money, and no guilt to go on a real vacation.
I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand-kids through college.
The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave it ALONE.
My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.
I would not talk ‘baby talk’. ‘Eat your din din’. ‘Yummy yummy for the tummy’.
My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.
My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.
I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L,, W-A-L-K,, T-R-E-A-T, O-U-T,, G-O,, R-I-D-E,, C-O-O-K-I-E
I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much.
I would not be as happy!
