You have more dog beds, chew toys, collars,
leashes, harnesses, and dog crates than you have dogs.

You meet other people with dogs, and remember
their dog's call name after 30 seconds, but don't get the owner's
name until you've met them 2 or 3 times.
-
You don't think twice about trading licks of
an ice cream cone with your dog.
-
Your parents give up on grandchildren and start
to refer to your dogs as "your kids" or "your
children." (Bonus: they start to call them "our
granddogs ")
-
90 percent of your Internet connection time
goes to the dogs (seeing what's new when you enter your breed
into the browser, reading up on multiple lists checking out
photos, sounds and FAQs, etc.).

You have hundreds of pictures of your dogs on
your desk at work, in your wallet, etc., but none of your family
or yourself.
-
No one wants to ride in your car because they
know they'll get dog hair on their clothes.

You reach into your pockets for change, and
liver treats, dog kibble, and pick-up bags fall all over. (Bonus:
You've done this in a classy establishment.)

your friends on the best way to trim your dog's nails, but have
never had a manicure or pedicure in your lifetime.

Books and movies are ruined for you if the dog
references are incorrect.

The highlight of your day is spending time with
your dog.

You watch simply awful movies because your breed
is either featured in a cameo scene or there's a 3-second camera
shot during a crowd scene.

All of your clothes have dog hair on them, even
when they come back from the laundromat or dry cleaners.
-
The only thing your friends, colleagues, and
passing acquaintances say to you when they see you is, "How
are the dogs?" or "How many dogs do you have now?"
-
Your photo Christmas cards feature your dogs
(humans optional).
