I was searching some old posts and saw this and thought I would share again...I thought some of these were :lol: VERY funny!


You Know You Are A Giant Breed Owner when:
-The sound of running water makes you jump up and yell, "OUTSIDE!"
-You tell your dog to sit, and he backs up until he finds a chair
-It takes 3 people to get your dog on the scale at the vets
-You walk your dog and everyone knows him by name, but you have no
idea who these people are
-You can carry on a conversation with a dog's muzzle firmly in your
crotch
-You own a dog capable of pulling someone from a porta potty
-Your dog can hide an entire tennis ball (among other things) fully
inside his lips and give you that innocent look that says, "What? I'm not
eating anything!"
-You carry a tape measure with you when shopping for a new vehicle
-You keep at least one color-coded "drool towel" in every room of
your house
-After banishing your husband, the snoring in your bedroom still
keeps you awake
-You are hiking with a friend who later suggests that you ought to
have an environmental impact statement done on your dog
-Visitors enter the house holding their privates protectively
-You toss your dog a ball and cringe when he almost hits his head on
the top of the doorway
-You take your dog for a ride and he rests his head on your arm,
causing you to make random right turns
-You have given up on water dishes and you just use the bathtub
-Your two dogs decide to play in the house, and they end up pulling
the ceiling fan down -- for the second time
-You have to move over when brushing your teeth because your dog
wants a drink
-You show a picture of your dogs and kids together, and the first
person you point out is your dog
-While stopped at a stop light, everyone stares as your car rocks
back and forth because the dog is panting out the window
-You go to vacuum your car and most of the fur is up there on the
ceiling
-You avoid the dogs on your way out the door, so they won't smear your
makeup
-You've learned to force a smile when asked "do you have a saddle for
that thing?"
-The monthly dog budget exceeds your home mortgage payment
-Your veterinarian has been able to put in a swimming pool, build a
large home, buy jet skis and a personal plane
-You have had to train your dog not to lick dishes, and the dishes
are in the sink
-The donuts you put on top of the refrigerator are gone when you get
home and your dog has powdered sugar on his nose
-Your dog can see what you're cooking, and he tries to assist you in
the preparation
-You're holding him straddled between your legs when the doorbell
rings, you take a short (but fast!) ride straight to the door
-The pizza delivery people tell you to meet them at the end of the
sidewalk
-Your dog stands in your lap and reaches over you to stick his head
in the drive-through window at MacDonald's and nearly gives the cashier a heart attack when she turns around to give you your change
-You purchase a large screen TV and you still can't see the program
when he stands in front of the television

These are so funny. I have never seen them before.
Lola just learned the drinking out of the bathroom sink when I am brushing my teeth yesterday

Our girls (and several of the cats) drink from the tub spigot.

Hubby gets a kick out of letting the dogs "get the change" at drive-thru's, to see the cashier's reaction.

Did the "running water" thing with an Irish Setter we had when I was a kid. Took weeks for the old shag carpet to dry out in that room.

Our vet definitely likes to see us coming. She's joked that I should have a personalized parking spot in her lot.

"You carry a tape measure with you when shopping for a new vehicle "
Yep, measure inside height, length of back area and when Sara couldn't jump up any more, and had to be lifted, I measured the height of the back deck for how far I had to lift. Found my xB had a 20" height, easy on the back. :D

These are good. I'd add, rests his chin on the kitchen table in an attempt to participate with the family during dinner.

These are so true that it makes me smile!

"You carry a tape measure with you when shopping for a new vehicle " Heck, I just took Seamus with me when I went shopping!
 
I LOVED the one about teaching your dogs not to lick the dishes......and they are in your sink. To be honest at first I didn't get it, doesn't everyone teach their dogs not to lick the dishes in the sink......then I remembered that not all dogs can reach in the sink!

"You carry a tape measure with you when shopping for a new vehicle "

This one got us the strangest looks/comments. We actually went to a car show to specifically look at a Honda Fit for my wife (its a tiny little thing for those that dont know) and whipped out the tape measure to measure for the dog. This was her make or break deal in buying the car.

"It takes three people to get your dog on the scale at the vet's"

LOL. Just went through this one yesterday...
 
"The sound of running water makes you jump up and yell, "OUTSIDE!""

Only heard that sound once. But when I came oput of the shower, and heard that sound at the bottom of the stairway I knew what had happened. It was off season hot humid day, ad I knew Snuffles was loaded up on water from our walk just before.

"You walk your dog and everyone knows him by name, but you have no
idea who these people are "

So true! I say hi to people, and they look at me strangely, and then i say I am the guy with the big black dog.

"Your dog can hide an entire tennis ball (among other things) fully
inside his lips and give you that innocent look that says, "What? I'm not
eating anything!" "

One day after being at the dog park, and driving home, when Snuffles got out, there was a tennis ball in the back seat.

"You take your dog for a ride and he rests his head on your arm,
causing you to make random right turns "

Not that, but he lays his head between the seat, and I can set my elbow down.

"You show a picture of your dogs and kids together, and the first
person you point out is your dog"

No kids, but anyone else in the picture, sure do.

"While stopped at a stop light, everyone stares as your car rocks
back and forth because the dog is panting out the window"

Hehe I don't really let Snuffles hand his head out moving unless very slowly like the park. But I love when people look over, and you see that BIG smile on their faces.

"You go to vacuum your car and most of the fur is up there on the
ceiling "

In the Snufflemobile, his head does touch the head liner. And the fir is impossible to get off. Grandma's car is a bit taller inside.

"You avoid the dogs on your way out the door, so they won't smear your
makeup "

I don't wear makeup :)

"You've learned to force a smile when asked "do you have a saddle for
that thing?"

Yes, but I don't like Snuffles to be compared to a horse or a lion. Now I do like when they say bear.

"Your veterinarian has been able to put in a swimming pool, build a
large home, buy jet skis and a personal plane "

Glad I haven't had a lot of vet problems, but I do know people with multiple normal size dogs, and that is their claim. But I do feel the heart worm meds is a scam, since I have to pay almost double, I think they should give a break if you have the buy the largest size plus.

"You have had to train your dog not to lick dishes, and the dishes
are in the sink "

Haven't had that problem here, but I know Snuffles use to dig dishes out in his old home.

"Your dog can see what you're cooking, and he tries to assist you in
the preparation "

Snuffles is real good in not counter surfing etc. What he does is lay right by the stove so yo have to straddle him while cooking.

"Your dog stands in your lap and reaches over you to stick his head
in the drive-through window at MacDonald's and nearly gives the cashier a heart attack when she turns around to give you your change"

I don't really do fast food, but when we go to the bank drive up, I open the window so he can give the teller atht I am starved look. Wish they would give me extra money for food instead of a dog biscuit for him.


My favorite is when we went to the Blessing of the Animals at a local Catholic Church/grade school, and the Father gave Snuffles a double shot of holy water because he was so big.

That was cute.

The one line reminds me of when my friend Tori, whom I hadn't seen in years, stopped by and met our Shiloh Shepherd (larger than a GSD) Telah. She ran out of the house screaming 'where'd you get the wooly Mammoth?" and Tae had just looked at her. What? You never saw a 150lb dog before?
