If I didn't have pets
If I didn't have pets:
1. I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.
2. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled
and laminated.
3. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and
cars would be free of pet hair.
4. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound
like the humane society kennels.
5. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the
door without wading through furry bodies who beat
me there or who are running away to escape the
stangers.
6. I could sit on the couch the way I wanted,
without taking into consideration how much space
several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.
7. I would not have strange presents under my
Christmas tree...like dog bones, stuffed animals,
little balls and string toys. OR have to answer
to people why I wrap them.
8. I would not be on a first name basis with three vets.
9. The most used words in my vocabulary would not
be: "out", "sit", "down","come", "no", "stay",
and "leave him/her/it ALONE".
10. My house would not be cordoned off into zones
with baby gates or barriers.
11. My pockets would not contain things like poop
bags, dog treats and an extra leash.
12. I would no longer have to spell the words
B-A-L-L or F-R-I-S-B-E- E or W-A-L-K or
T-R-E-A-T-S.
13. I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my
house as outside.
14. I would not look strangely at people who
think having their ONE pet ties them down too much.
15. I'd look forward to Spring and the melting of
the snow instead of dreading "mud season".
16. I would not have to answer the question "Why
do I have so many animals?"Ê from people who will
never have the joy in their life of knowing they
are loved unconditionally by something as close
to an angel as they will ever get.
17. How empty my life would be.
"We give our pets time we can spare, space we can
spare and love we can spare. And in return, pets
give us their all. It's the best deal man has
ever made" M. Acklam
Strive to be first; first to nod, first to smile, first to compliment, and first to forgive.
