You know you have a dog when...

when your house smells !

I'd rather have the smell of a damp dog ,than the smell of a soap dodger
And body odour could be the subject of another looooong thread

When you look outside and see wind, rain, snow etc whether it is light or dark and think "Yeah, I think I'll go out for a walk"..........

...when you've finished doing a number two, he gets up from sitting in your underpants, because doing that keeps his back paws off the ground to stop them getting chilled on the tiled floor. You look down, see a skid mark in your Y-fronts, but don't know if its his or yours...

When you know what the time is because there are 3 mutts sat at your leg, waiting for dinner ! ( 4-55 pm !! )

Even when the clocks change.

...you’re sat on the couch and open anything edible and suddenly lose all personal space accompanied by two small cold, wet patches on your face where they came at you a bit too hot and then backoff a whole inch away from your face.

When you try and sneak a digestive from the biscuit tin and no matter how quiet you are and no matter how deeply asleep you think he is the door into the kitchen still gets head butted open.

Same for cream crackers and cheese, ditto sausage roll, etc etc.

And that moment you open the fridge, ever so quietly- thinking that you've managed it- and in a flash, comes "dog of your life". And that moment ,when aftr all the coaxing into the back of the car, you give up and lift them in. To be greeted ,after clipping on the harness with that look" where is my treat?".

Today, realise there's a significant bit of anthropomorphising here, but this morning put on some trousers that I hadn't worn since the summer.

Idly fishing around in one of the pockets I found the wooden stick from a Magnum choc ice stored there months ago with the intention at the time of sticking it in a bin at the first opportunity.

Holding the stick and heading towards the kitchen bin realised that I was subject to an intense accusatory stare as someone strongly suspected he'd been denied the last licks of an ice cream.

Definitely remembering I am a dog owner, when traveling all over the place I find myself pulling (clean) poo bags out of every fleece and jacket I packed with me.

You don't realise your doorbell has been broken for years......

House
Holiday
And dog.

Especially cheese... how on earth can they identify the sound of a packet of cheese being opened, yet ignore it when you're opening various other packets in the kitchen.

When you come in at all sorts of weird and wonderful hours from work, and yet the house remains silent as Mutley is upstairs, sound asleep next to swmbo.

BUT

Once a month I may roll in at a stupid hour on a Saturday morning from a poker game with friends, and despite my best efforts of entering in stealth mode, all of a sudden Mutley, (Steve) has now become a fully trained attack dog just as the key goes into the door.

You get stopped by the sniffer dog at the airport for a pocket full of treats.

[CooperS]

When you work away for the night and you get video clips of your young pup running around the house trying to find you

My wife has never minded me being away but being at home with a 6 month old pup who is very use to me being around is challenging.

[Gromm]

When someone is insisting on giving you a wet kiss every time you get down to tie or untie your shoes.

I don't know if you jest or have experienced this.

But many years ago at Liverpool the armed unit had a springer who was all over my case.... I could see the bloke on my right tensing and the chap with the dog was being cautious. Then I opened my case and showed him my tuna sandwich that was parked on my law books...... The dog's tail was wagging furiously..... The look on the copper's face was hilarious..... I did tell him never mind my dogs would have been worse, but that didn't seem to make him feel better......
