- You find yourself casually talking to them as if they are people, it's like cats really. You just say random stuff to them when you're not with anyone. It's great for when the house is empty, although when my sister hears me she thinks it's wierd. You can tell them anything, they won't understand a single word but they'll look at you as if they're listening... sometimes.
- You find yourself with mysterious stratches on your arms and legs, then remember it was from the dog jumping up or getting angry. Although that stage fizzles out. Thank God!
- You find yourself ironically shouting 'quiet' at them when they are barking. I find that funny every time! Although I doubt this will be any different if you have children.
- You end up not being able to walk anywhere without people wanting to see the dog. It's cute because the dog loves it as much as the person.
- You find yourself having to apologise to people after your dog jumps up at them. Most don't mind but you get the occasional 'you will be, I hate dogs.' Ok, I've only got one of those. Most people don't mind at all. They generally say hello.
- You will talk in funny high pitch voices when talking to them. You'll sound ridiculous but you won't care but you can take the mick out of each other for it.
- You will find that all of your friends will want to be the first to see the puppy when you get it and you'll just end up having lots of visitors within the first few weeks.
- You might find a shrub or 2 looking a little sorry for themselves in the garden.
Its great having a dog, I'm sure there are more things I could write here too, but I'll leave it there! I hope you liked it, thanks for reading!
