You Know You Have A Big Dog When ...
I received this from an animal rescue list ... hilarious.


YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A BIG DOG 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 port-a-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.

* 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'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 vacation home in Florida.

* 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 and you find yourself quickly transported straight to the front
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 McDonalds 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.

* After surgery, your bored pup decides to get up and cruise around
the vet's office, pulling the rolling IV stand behind him.

* You have to get a horse watering bucket for outside

* You tell the oil changing people, don't worry about the back seat
it is a hopeless cause.

* The vet has to special order your dog food to keep enough in stock

* The neighborhood kids only like the dog after it has laid belled
up so they know it is not mean.

* You have to walk it with two leads and collars - one for
correcting, one for holding on to them.

* You give up on trying to keep the dust in the house under control
