Are you a dogoholic???????

AND WEBSTER SAYS...

An obsession is defined as a complete absorption of the interests or the mind, excessive to an abnormal degree, dependence, addiction; addiction meaning to surrender to something obsessively. Do you wonder if you are simply devoted to your dog or are you a self-enslaved canine caretaker catering to Doggy's every whim?. To help you determine if you are merely enthusiastic or positively obsessive about your dog, answer the following questions.

* Does your dog wear Calvin Kanine sweaters and Poochi boots while you buy your clothes from the Salvation Army budget shop?

* Does your mother refer to your four-legged dependents as her grandchildren even though you have no human children?

* Is your monthly dog supplies bill higher than your house payment?

* While eating dinner, can you discuss pooper scooper tools and worm medicines without loosing your appetite?

* Is your house equipped with a doggy doorbell, installed at paw-height, so that your dog can let you know when he wants inside?

* Do you receive a "preferred customer" discount at your veterinarian's office?

* Is the interior design of your home color coordinated with your dog's fur?

* Do you fix your dog's breakfast before your own? Does he have his own table or placemat?

* Do you know exactly what your dogs say when they bark?

* Do you own a motor home for the exclusive purpose of being able to take your dogs on vacation with you (the size of the vehicle being relevant to the amount of dogs it can contain)?

* Does your dog go into the bathroom with you?

* Did you pay to have your dog's bed monogrammed instead of replacing the hole-riddled sheets on your bed which bear puppy's "this-was-fun-to-chew" signature?

* At night, when your dogs push you off your king-sized mattress, do you go sleep on the couch so you don't disturb their rest by making them move?

* Do your neighbors think of you as that "dog person?" Do your best friends live 300 miles away and the only thing you have in common is your interest in dogs? ...but your phone bill for calls to their number is slightly higher than the national debt?

* Have you ever run out of bread and toilet paper but had enough dog food and biscuits to last through a seven-year famine?

* When you buy your annual dog license, do you start a Christmas Club account for your dog?

* Is your favorite pastime browsing through travel books and planning trips to scenic parks where you are allowed to walk your dog? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may be a dogoholic, in some people's opinion, going slightly overboard when you pay attention to or care for your dog. Do you spend much of your time and money shopping for and buying fun toys, gourmet goodies and cute collars for your canine kid? Do many of your leisure activities or hobbies focus around your dog? Do you think that you're obsessed with your dog? Or does devotion to a canine companion bring you pleasure and add happiness to your life? Obsession is not always all bad. It can also mean fascination or passion, and, to be obsessed can mean to be consumed with belief.

those were funny and ummm...I'm not one of those...I'm shocked, I love my dogs....but ummm Calvin Kanine?????:wah:

When I worked for the Attorney's office, we had a client that was a regular and good friends with both of my bosses (husband and wife Attorneys) and she would bring her dogs in either a purse or a doggie stroller, all dressed up--they probably had Calvin Cannines for her dogs...it was INSANE!!
