Dog People:
Are a special breed not usually recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club.
They think everyone has crates in their living rooms.
Have messy houses - their kennels are spotless.
Can always find a show catalog from somewhere within arm's reach.
Have kids who know more about the "birds and the bees" when they're 5,
than most people do when they're 40.
Drive trucks, vans and station wagons expecially equipped to haul dog crates.
Can never be reached on a weekend, they're usually at a dog show.
Will drive 400 miles, spend $100 on gas, $200 on a motel room and $150 for meals to bring home a 25 cent ribbon.
Have kids who regard the word "bitch" as just another household word.
Have lush, green, beautiful back yards -- and never bought a bag of fertilizer.
Get up at 6 a.m. to walk the dogs, can be a ringside dressed to kill at 8 a.m. but have trouble getting to work on time.
Will usually give up the $150,000 home in the suburbs to move to a shack on 10 acres so they can have a $150,000 kennel.
Never miss a closing date for entry fees - but pay the mortgage 10 days late.
Would rather be audited by the Revenue Canada than the CKC.
Use dog food bags for trash and 30 gallon trash cans for dog food.
Talk for hours on the phone to another dog person in a language known only to dog people.
Have parents who think they've lost their minds.
Have doggy friends who think they are terrific.
