• I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.
  • My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
  • All 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, with out taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.
  • I would have money, and no guilt to go on a real vacation.
  • I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand-kids through college.
  • The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave it ALONE.
  • My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.
  • I would not talk ‘baby talk’. ‘Eat your din din’. ‘Yummy yummy for the tummy’.
  • My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.
  • My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.
  • I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L,, W-A-L-K,, T-R-E-A-T, O-U-T, G-O, R-I-D-E, C-O-O-K-I-E
  • 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 would not be as happy!
