A little email I got

If I didn't have animals . . . .

I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of
Hair.

When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.

When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading
Through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.

I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking
Into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to
Get comfortable.

I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree -- dog
Bones, stuffed animals, toys, treats nor would I have to explain to
People why I wrap them.

I would have money....and no guilt to go on a real vacation.

The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down,
Come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or
Barriers.

My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.

My pockets would not contain things like treats or an extra leash.

I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E-E, or
W-A-L-K.

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat
Ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to spring and the melting of snow instead of
Dreading mud season.

I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many
Dogs/animals?" from people who will never have the joy in their lives
Of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an
Angel as they will ever get.

How empty my life would be.

No idea who wrote it but I thought it was worth sharing

OMG that is so true and lots of those things apply in my house too

I can soooooooooooo relate!

i love it.

i have only one cat, but still rings true for me. thanks for sharing!

That is so true, but they left out these things:
1) I would not have anything "furry" to share my bed with.
2) I would not get to experience of coming home from work, and someone is actually excited about it...ect..

I can relate, but my dogs know how to spell b-i-s-c-u-i-t.

Brilliant!
Especially true about sleeping in strange positions!

It's all sooo true.

And we have to spell T-R-E-A-T-S here.

So true

That's really good! And pets can learn how to spell "important" words!

I was wondering where that was...but I can def relate to that

How very true

Deffinately sounds like life at my parents and here! My Tasha knows how to spell cookie, cracker, out, walk, ball, and the big one....ride!

Thanks so much for sharing!! I can defiantely relate! Sounds just like my house!

After my Corgi passed away (from old age- it's okay now ), it took me 6 months to quit spelling "ball" everytime I said it .

So true! Every night I wake up every few hours as I'm in a cat sausage roll under my blankets. Two cats on either side of the comforter against my sides, so I'm pinned like a mummy in a 'hot sausage roll' trying to break free of the heat and the body kinks.
Despite my complaints, I always feel like I've had a good sleep because i was enveloped in love!
My BF just adds to the mix!
