Must Resist Temptation....

Here are the 2 newest little shelter dogs, Tootie and Shorty. Tootie is the dark one, and Shorty is the fawn colored one. Shorty is Tootie's father. Their owner has been placed in a nursing home, so now we are trying to get them adopted out. They are so cute that I just had to post their pictures here. Since my mother had a chihuahua for 8 years, and I now have one, it's made me crazy for the breed. It's so hard to resist the temptation to just take them in. I think my 4 dogs and husband would kill me, if I brought any more to the house. I know I have a full house, but it is just so hard to resist. My mother only has 1 dog, and is interested. Time will tell if she decides to take them in.

Maybe I should attend one of these meetings:

Good Evening. My name is (your name here), and I *am* a dogaholic.

I would like to welcome all of you to this month's meeting of "Dogaholics Anonymous". Some of you are here tonight because a friend or relative brought you here. You may be sitting here thinking that you are o.k. and that you really don't need any help. It is not easy to admit that you are a dogaholic and it is even harder to bring yourself to a DAA meeting for help. DAA is here to assist you.

I have some questions to ask you:

1. Can you say "bitch" in public without blushing?

2. Do you drive a station wagon, van, or 4x4 when everyone else drives a real car?

3. Do you have more than one car? One for you and one for the dogs?

4. Do you spend your vacations and holidays going to shows, specialties, and seminars when everyone else goes on a cruise?

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

6. Do you discuss things at the dinner table that would make most doctors leave in disgust?

7. Do you consider formal wear to be clean jeans and freshly washed tennis shoes?

8. Is your interior decorator R.C. Steele?

9. Was your furniture and carpeting chosen to match your dogs?

10. Are your end tables really dog crates with tablecloths thrown over them?

11. Do you know the meaning of CD, CDX, UD, CGC, HIC, WC, JH, MH, Ch, and OTCh?

12. Is your mail made up primarily of dog catalogs, dog magazines, and premium lists?

13. Do you get up before dawn to go to Training Classes? Dog Shows? Seminars?

14. If you do have dresses, do they all have pockets?

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

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?

17. Do you remember the name of their dog sooner than you remember their name?

18. Do you find yourself referring to people as "Rover's Mom" or "Rover's Dad"?

19. Do you find non-dog people boring?

If you answered "YES" to one of the above, there is still hope. If you answered "YES" to two, you are in serious trouble. If you answered "YES" to three or more, you have come to the right place.

My advice to all of you who answered "YES" to three or more questions is to sit back and smile, turn to the smiling person next to you and know that your life will always be filled with good friends and good dogs, and it will never be boring.
