1. Can you say "Bitch" in public without blushing?
Yes, and everyone kinda gives that look of "How dare you call that female dog a bitch!"

2. Do you drive a station wagon, van, or 4x4 when everyone else drives a real car?
My mom has a van, complete with dog hair covered seats, dog washed windows, and wet dog smell after coming home from the beach

3. Do you have more than one car? One for you and one for the dogs?
Yes, my dad has a smaller station wagon, but the van is mostly for the dogs. LOL

4. Do you spend your vacations and holidays going to shows, specialties, and seminars when everyone else goes on a cruise?
Not yet, but it eventually will be

5. If you do go overseas, is it to London, in March, to attend Crufts?
It will be!

6. Do you discuss things at the dinner table that would make most doctors leave in disgust?
My whole family does. LOL

7. Do you consider formal wear to be clean jeans and freshly washed tennis shoes?
Most of the time this all I wear... haha

8. Is your interior decorator R.C. Steele?
All of our furniture is either used, or is just "modern" and nothing fancy or expensive. It has to be comfortable enough for the dogs to lay on.

9. Was your furniture and carpeting chosen to match your dogs?
Match our dogs looks or lifestyle? LOL Definetly to match their life style. Cheap $20 roll-out carpets from Wal Mart which can be replaced, all other furniture is cheap and easy to clean when you have 4 dogs coming in from outside in the dirt, or coming home wet and sandy from the beach.

10. Are your end tables really dog crates with tablecloths thrown over them?
When we have dogs using the crates, yes they are. They even have lamps to go on top

11. Do you know the meaning of CD, CDX, UD, CGC, HIC, WC, JH, MH, CH, and OTCH?
Yes and if I said "CD" to comeone, they'd think I was talking about a compact disc LOL

12. Is your mail made up primarily of dog catalogs, dog magazines, and premium lists?
It's getting there!

13. Do you get up before dawn to go to Training Classes? Dog Shows? Seminars?
I will with my next dog

14. If you do have dresses, do they all have pockets?
None of them have pockets. I don't wear dresses if I'm going to be with the dogs. That's where the T-shirt and sneakers comes in

15. Do those pockets often contain freeze dried liver, Rollover, or squeaky toys?
Any pockets often times contain either toys or treats.

16. When you meet a new person do you always ask them what kind of dog they have and pity them if they don't have one?
Many times

17. Do you remember the name of a person's dog sooner than you remember their name?
This happens to me all of the time. I feel so embarassed when I have seen this person 4 times before, they've told me their name and I'm coo-ing over their dog and my question ends up being "What's your name again?" LOL

18. Do you find non-dog people boring?
YES! VERRY! Ugh, I can only talk to them for so long.

Do people think you're strange because it doesn't bother you to "scoop" your yard, have drool towels in every room, clean eye goobers or clean up regurgatation from your dog eating something that just didn't agree with him/her?
Yes, they often times have to leave the room. I respond to them "It's just poop/puke!" I'm usually the one in the house to clean it up.. my mom gags if she see's throw up.. I asked her "How on earth did you manage having kids then??" LOL

Do you let people know ahead of time, before they visit, that if they don't like dogs, don't bother, because they live here, you don't, and they won't be put away just to make you comfortable.
Yes. And also if they don't like dog hair, to not come over, or not to wear black. Dog hair is a free, and wonderful souvenir that everyone gets while leaving the Beck Zoo. AHAHAHA

Do you spend more time shopping for dog supplies that you do for things for yourself?
Yes, all of the time. I'd rather spend money on my dogs/animals than myself.

When you're talking to a friend or family member on the phone, sometimes even people you don't know, do you bring up your dogs at least once?All of the time. And I hate when they say "Oh that's nice" and quickly change the subject.

Do you spend countless hours each day on the internet, or reading books, magazines, newspaper articles, or television with topics anything to do with dogs?
That's all I ever do when I'm home.

You go for a walk through your neighbourhood. Do you even recognize those neighbours of yours that don't own dogs? LOL
I have no idea who my neighbors are that don't have dogs. Actually, I do know them, and I wonder "How can they not have/want a dog?"

Can you determine whether a dog lives at that home, just by looking in the back yard and seeing brown grass and bald spots?
I sure can!

Do you have this feeling of happiness and pride when you look at your dog? Or stare at them lovingly while they are sleeping?
Yes, everyday.

I'm guilty! But while I may be guilty, I don't have a problem! That I will never admit! lol

I answered "yes" to 7 out of the 18 but then there is one more:
#19. Are you worried that your dog(s) is/are missing out because you cannot answer "Yes" to more than 50% of these questions?

LOL!
