YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A BIG DOG WHEN . . .

— you tell your dog to sit, and he backs up until he finds a chair.

— it takes three people to get your dog on the scale at the vets.

— you walk your dog & all know him by name, but you have no idea who THEY are.

— you own a dog capable of pulling someone from a porta potty.

— 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.

— he rests his head on your arm in the car, causing you to make random right turns.

— you have to move over when brushing your teeth because your dog wants a drink.

— you show a photo of dogs & kids together and the first you point out is your dog.

— stopped at a light, all stare as car rocks because the dog is panting out window.

— you go to vacuum your car and most of the fur is up there on the ceiling.

— you have had to train your dog not to lick dishes, and the dishes are in the sink.

— the pizza delivery people arrange to meet you at the end of the sidewalk.

— you’re holding him straddled between your legs when the doorbell rings, and you find yourself quickly transported straight to the front door. And!

— your dog stands in your lap, reaching over you to stick his head in drive-through window at McDonald’s and nearly gives the cashier a heart attack when she turns around to give you your change.
