You know you're a dog person when...

• You have more dog beds, chew toys, collars, leashes, harnesses, and dog crates than you have dogs.

• You meet other people with dogs, and remember their dog's call name after 30 seconds, but don't get the owner/handler's name until you've met them 2 or 3 times.

• You don't think twice about trading licks of an ice cream cone with your dog.

• Your parents give up on grandchildren and start to refer to your dogs as "your kids" or your children." (Bonus: they start to call them "our granddogs.")

• 90 percent of your Internet connection time goes to the dogs (seeing what's new when you enter your breed into the browser, reading up on multiple lists, checking out photos, sounds and FAQs, etc.).

• You have hundreds of pictures of your dogs on your desk at work, in your wallet, etc., but none of your family or yourself.

• No one wants to ride in your car because they know they'll get dog hair on their clothes.

• You reach into your pockets for change, and liver treats, dog kibble, and pick-up bags fall all over. (Bonus: You've done this in a classy establishment.)

• You've had long meaningful discussions with your friends on the best way to trim your dog's nails, but have never had a manicure or pedicure in your lifetime.

• Books and movies are ruined for you if the dog references are incorrect.

• The highlight of your day is spending time with your dog.

• You watch simply awful movies because your breed is either featured in a cameo scene or there's a 3-second camera shot during a crowd scene.

• All of your clothes have dog hair on them, even when they come back from the laundromat or dry cleaners.

• The only thing your friends, colleagues, and passing acquaintances say to you when they see you is, "How are the dogs?" or "How many dogs do you have now?"

• Your photo Christmas cards feature your dogs (humans optional).

Dog Rules

1. The dog is not allowed in the house.

2. Okay, the dog is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms.

3. The dog is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture.

4. The dog can get on the old furniture only.

5. Fine, the dog is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the humans on the bed.

6. Okay, the dog is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.

7. The dog can sleep on the bed whenever he wants, but not under the covers.

8. The dog can sleep under the covers by invitation only

9. The dog can sleep under the covers every night.

10. Humans must ask permission to sleep under the covers with the dog.

• If I like it, it's mine.
• If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
• If I can take it from you, it's mine.
• If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
• If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
• If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
• If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
• If I saw it first, it's mine.
• If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
• If it's broken, it's yours.

• Make the world your playground.
• Whenever you miss the sandbox, cover it up. Dragging a sock over it helps
• If you can't get your way, lay across the keyboard till you do.
• When you are hungry, meow loudly so they feed you just to shut you up.
• Always find a good patch of sun to nap in.
• Nap often.
• When in trouble, just purr and look cute.
• Life is hard, and then you nap.
• Curiosity never killed anything except maybe a few hours.
• When in doubt, cop an attitude.
• Variety is the spice of life. One day, ignore people; the next day, annoy them, and play with them when they're busy.
• Climb your way to the top, that's why the curtains are there.
• Make your mark in the world, or at least spray in each corner.
• Always give generously; a bird or rodent left on the bed tells them, "I care".

1. They will starve if left home alone.
2. You love having cat hair on your clothes so much, you thought you would share it with your car pool buddies for the next year, since it is impossible to remove from the car seats.
3. You really want to have cat litter in your soda while driving.
4. The dash needed a few claw marks.
5. So when stopped for doing 90 you can say ""I'm sorry officer, but I need to have my cat surgically removed from my leg. Where is the nearest hospital?"

• Do you select your friends based on how well your cats like them?
• Does your desire to collect cats intensify during times of stress?
• Do you buy more than 50 pounds of cat litter a month?
• Do you think it's cute when your cat swings on your drapes or licks your butter?
• Do you admit to non-cat owners how many cats you really have?
• Do you sleep in the same position all night because it annoys your cats when you move?
• Do you kiss your cat on the whiskers?
• Do you feed your cat tidbits from the table with your fork?
• Does your cat sleep on your head?
• Do you like it?
• Do you have more than four opened but rejected cans of cat food in the refrigerator?
• Do you watch bad TV because the cat is sleeping on the remote?
• Will you stand at the open door indefinitely in the freezing rain while your cat sniffs the door, deciding whether to go out or come in?
• Would you rather spend a night at home with your cat than go out on a bad date?
• Do you give your cat presents and a stocking at Christmas?
• Do you put off making the bed until the cat gets up?
