My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and Laminated. … All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would Be hair-free.
When the doorbell rings, my home wouldn’t sound Like a kennel plus I could get to the door without Wading through all the fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
I could sit on the couch and my bed any way I wanted, With out having to take into consideration how much Space several fur bodies need to get comfortable.
I would have enough 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 grandkids 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 and makeshift barriers.
I would not talk ‘baby talk’. ‘Eat your din din’. ‘Yummy Yummy for the tummy’. “where’s mama’s babies?..lol” My house would not look like a day care center, with toys everywhere- especially when i break out the bottle of catnip.
My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats a nd 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, S-U-P-P-E-R, a nd 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’d look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading ‘mud’ season.
I would not have to answer the question: ‘Why do you have so many animals?’ from people who will never know the joy of being loved unconditionally by the closest thing to an angel they will ever encounter.
