are you a dog person?

Score one point for each of these statements that are true about you, then look up your score at the bottom of the page. Be honest.

1.You have dog beds, toys, collars, leashes, harnesses etc for more dogs than you actually own. 

2.When you meet other people you remember their dog's name after 30 seconds, but don't get the owner's name till you've met them 2 or 3 times. 

3.You don't think twice about sharing an ice cream cone with your dog. 

4.Your parents refer to your dogs as your kids. (Score 2 if they call them "our grand-dogs" and/or buy them Christmas/birthday presents.) 

5.More than 50% of your Internet connection time goes toward dogs. If you don't have Internet access, score a point if you have ever borrowed a connection or considered getting your own for dog-related reasons! 

6.You have more pictures of your dogs on your desk, on the wall, in your wallet, etc., than you do of your family or yourself. (Score 2 if you don't have any of your human family on display.)
 
7.Friends avoid riding in your car because they know they'll get dog hair on their clothes. 

8.When you reach into your pockets for change, dog treats and pick-up bags fall out.
(Score 2 if you've ever done this in embarrassing circumstances. )

9.Furniture, carpets etc are chosen with the dog's comfort (or the colour of his/her hairs) in mind. 

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

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

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

13.Your clothes have dog hair on them, even when they're newly washed or back from the cleaners. 

14.The first question your friends, colleagues and acquaintances ask is, "How are the dogs?" or "How many do you have now?" (Score 2 if even your non-doggy friends know your dog's names/ages.) 

15.Your Christmas cards feature dogs. (Score 2 if you make your own or have them specially made so they can feature your own dog/s.)

Score 0-5. Shame on you. The RSPCA is probably watching your house right now and muttering about neglect. Seriously, you need to pay your dog(s) more attention and stop worrying about what people think.

Score 6-10. You've got a good sense of balance. You enjoy your dogs but you don't let them rule your life. But balance can be over-rated. Why not try it some time?

Score 11-15. You're at the top of the slippery slope into total Dog Mania, so just watch your step. Mind you, it's quite fun down here at the bottom, so maybe you should let go and slide!

Score 16+ Wow! You're a doting owner whose dogs must think they're living in doggy heaven. But just to avoid upsetting non-doggy friends and family members (if you still have any) we recommend you keep quiet about your score!

I'm a 6. So only just snuck in under the wire.
Karen

you fibber- no way are you a measly 6 :D :D

Is this the same Kazz ?? ;)

I got a 12. I laughed at the scoring definitions....funny.

Don't put too much stock in that Kazz. Maybe they didn't ask certain questions that would have fit you better. Maybe you do some things for or about your dogs that the rest don't, but they didn't ask you those things. You can make up a new quiz. That's always a possibility. LOL.

Carrie.

Score 11-15. You're at the top of the slippery slope into total Dog Mania, so just watch your step. Mind you, it's quite fun down here at the bottom, so maybe you should let go and slide!

I scored 17 and I've only had a dog for  eight months (but then maybe that's why!).

The question about the photos made me laugh.  I don't have any 'human' photos of family members but I've had a large framed photo of my sister's dog as a puppy on my bedroom wall for years, and I now have four framed pics of Millie!!

i got 12.
friends don't travel in our car so i can't answer that 1.i wouldn't share my ice cream but i would buy him one of his own.lol

my parents don't think of him as my child but know where i go he goes too,my dad is like it too,so its his fault im too soft.         ;-)

Hi. why does it say 'Score 16+' when theres only 15 questions!?

because you can score 2 on some questions........ ;-)

I also scored 6, but some of the questions that say about dog hair i couldn't answer cause my wheaten doesn't lose hair. ;)
