Gone To The Dogs.........
- You know You've gone to the Dogs when:
- Gifts you & your spouse/significant other exchange consist of: grooming tables, X-pens, crates, stand dryers, etc.
- Your son makes you a set of pooper-scoopers in Metals 101.
- Your daughter surprises you with a Kennel Sign from Woodshop class.
- Your phone bill is higher than the National Debt.
- No item of clothing is bought without clearing the following hurdles:
a) Does it have pockets?
b) Will dog hair show?
c) Will slobber blend in?
d) Does the colour go with my dog/s?- A week-end get-away is a 3 day show.
- You can't remember Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc., because your calendar is filled with Show dates, closing dates, due dates, heartworm & med. dates, etc., leaving no room for anything else.
- Bitch, Artificial Insemnation, sperm, semen, ovulation are words you use frequently.
- You plan your vacation time around your bitches due/heat dates.
- A gift from your Grandchildren brings tears to your eyes- a new heater for the whelping box.
- Your Child/Grandchild takes puppy tails & dewclaws to Show & Tell- and describes Banding & Dewclaw removal.
- Jewellry means Doggy earrings, pendants, pins, watches, etc.
- Weddings & other special occasions are planned for non-dog show days.
- You celebrate Mothers Day by taking your Mother along to a Show-and get her handle a dog for you.
- YOUR Wedding is not only on a Dog Show week-end, but performed at Lunch Break
AT THE SHOW so all your family & friends can attend.
