* 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.

* 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?"

* 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.
