Has your house gone to the dogs?

[hallswel]

I have decided that my home has really gone to the dogs. This last week Simon our bird decided to become a dog. Yes he is barking just like the boys. At first it was a few little barks now he does it the minute I walk in the door. The dogs are quiet but the bird barks.

Go figure

So here is a list help me add to it

You know your house has gone to the dogs when:

1. Your bird barks when you come in the door.

12. When you get on your hands/knees to look under the bed for your shoes/socks.............jan

PS...To pjoe's girls, that's exactly what I'm doing except I'm not sure if I want tile or laminate flooring, either way the carpeting is going.

Your bathroom reading material consists of The Whole Dog Journal, Drs. Foster and Smith catalogs and The Comprehensive Guiide to Owning and Caring for your Cairn Terrier.

19. When you make your grocery shopping list and the first thing that gets written is "treats." (The heck with what the rest of the family needs to eat! )

P.S. Just read this somewhere: " God made dogs and spelled his own name backwards"

20. When you try not to ever use your front door because it is easier for the dog to get out that way. Carport door becomes door of choice.
