- When people on this site know more about you than most people that see you everyday

- When chazhound.com/forums can be typed faster than almost every other website

- When you have found more friendship, support, controversy, laughter and drama within one website than within probably all 4 years of high school

- When you click the new thread button for dog advice before you even think to call your vet or trainer lol

- When you would trust people on the internet to dog-sit for you and not people you actually know in real life lol

- When you have totally ignored the advice your parents gave you growing up and given your address, phone number, picture and money to people on the internet :rofl1:

ADD YOURS lol thought this would be fun

This post is hilarious:rofl1:. I have not been here as long as most but it still scares me how often I gush about some dog related thing to 'normies' and they just go 'uh okay' and I think well they would get in on chaz

You have Sue Ailsbys Training Level app next to the Facebook app on your phone!

Lol fran your post is hilarious!

These are my favorite I love all my 'people' opcorn:

Fran! Those are FANTASTIC! So true, so funny and just flat out delightful. Good job!

I think you've covered it really well. Okay, here's one of mine I'll add.

You have a plan. You will spend one hour on Chaz. You look at the clock. It's 9:00 a.m. When you think it's been about an hour and you need to get to your other duties, you look at the clock again. It's time for dinner.

- When your "normal" friend is always surprised that you offer to go let her dog out and feed her and pet her and love her....

- When you're the one all your friends call when they need somebody to run over and let the dog out, or watch the dog while they go on vacation.

- When you're the first one all your friends think of when they need dog advice (and sometimes other animal advice).

- When all the cards people give you for every holiday have a dog on them (and sometimes a cat). Lol

- When you accidentally say "I never want to OWN any children" instead of have, or when you are at your friend's house with all the kids running around and you sit there thinking about how much easier dogs are to train, and how much better they listen. :rofl1:

LOL good job Fran, these are great!

bahahahahha LOVE IT

just yesterday I was at dinner with my bf's cousin/fam & someone how the question of... "how much money would persuade you to give up your dog" came up. Everyone looked at me like I was NUTS when I took about .000005 seconds to answer "NO WAY!" to $100,000.

I knew you all would have had the exact same answer though

Lol Fran those a very good!

THIS

I have one and I'm hoping I'm not the only one who does this!
When you accidentally signal/say commands to people or click at them to get their attention.

oops

I started clicking and whistling at my friends 2 month old baby the other day to get her attention. In the middle of a Starbucks. Yah... :rofl1:

That is so true!

Who are these "regular" and "normal" people you all speak of?

Those are all great, Fran!

How about when a chazzer would be gushing over the photos on your camera and your best friend looks at you and asks, "Do you have any pictures of humans on here?"
My answer was no.

When you find yourself on a plane (despite being afraid of flying) going 1200 miles away to spend 1 1/2 weeks with somebody else's dogs, and consider it a vacation? LOL

I love this post <3<3

That's a good one! :rofl1:

And when you detest air travel (although I love flying), but fly across the country to your friend's graduation from grad school . . . and help her socialize her Fila to having people in the house Oh, and discover, while driving back with her from picking up raw supplies from the co-op, that even frozen, green tripe has an unbelievable stench.

And when you cry at the passing of dogs you've never met.

LOL!!! They all had me laughing, but this one cracked me up!

These are so awesome Fran!

You don't even bother asking anyone you know in Real Life to split shipping on a dog and instead ask your online dog people and end up going with someone you not only met online but had already met up with against all the warnings people give.

^This. I have shed so many tears over the passing of Chaz dogs I've grown to absolutely adore.
