This was a forward sent to Bob from his dad. It is so true.
1. You can’t see out the passenger side of the windshield because there are nose-prints all over the inside. (Actually, you can’t see out of the side windows on the passenger side and backseats due to major Kuma snot.)
2. You carry dog biscuits in your purse or pocket at all times. (I have a picture of Kuma as my background on my cell phone, does that count?)
3. You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house, but no babies. (No baby gates, she gets the run of the house.)
4. You have little songs that you sing to your dog, and she always wags when you sing, even though you can’t carry a tune. (No singing, I draw the line at singing.)
5. You like people who like your dog. You despise people who don’t. (I LOVE people who like my dog. I only like/tolerate people who don’t.)
6. Your bedroom door has a doggie door. (We just keep our door open so Kuma can come in and out as she pleases.)
7. You put an extra blanket on the bed so your dog can be comfortable. (If you mean on her bed, then yes. If you mean on our bed, then yes.)
8. Your dog owns more clothing and toys than your neighbor’s children. (She does have a box of clothing, that’s not too much, is it?)
9. You sign and send birthday/anniversary/Christmas cards from your dog. (Guilty! She’s the star of our Christmas card! And isn’t she ADORABLE?)
10. You decide you might have kids so the dog will have playmates. (Uh, no. She’s not a sharer. Kuma likes to be the only child, furred or unfurred.)
11. You talk about your dog the way other people talk about their kid. (Yeah, we must really bore our friends. No wonder they don’t invite us to do anything.)
12. You tell your relatives you aren’t coming unless the dogs are invited too. (Actually, Bob’s dad won’t let us come over without Kuma. It’s really her that he wants to see, we are only invited because we are the means for her to get to New Town.)
13. You’d rather stay home on Saturday night and cuddle your dog than go to the movies with your sweetie/friends. (See Number 11.)
14. You care more about getting your dog’s supper ready on time than your spouse’s. (Bob has thumbs, Kuma doesn’t. He can make his own supper.)
15. You make your significant other sleep on the couch because there isn’t enough room for the three of you. (Bob doesn’t sleep on the couch, but he does hold onto the edge of the bed for dear life because Kuma will use the wall as leverage to push against me, which in turn, pushes against Bob. She is a bed hog.)
In regards to Bob’s dad loving Kuma more than you guys I totally understand that. Anytime mom sees Simon it is as though I don’t exist even if I’ve been gone for several months.
I wouldn’t say I love Kuma more but I don’t put Bob and Jen up as my screen-saver at work. I alternate between Kuma and Umy, my other Grand-Dog. Speaking of Umy, she’s back in town and it’s time for Doggy-Smack-Down II!
