You know you have a dog when....

Over the last month, I've been adjusting to life with Ellie! Here are a few things that have changed....

-I now have a jumbo lint roller at home, one at work, one in my car, and one in my purse. And can still usually find Ellie hair on my clothes at any given time.

-I have found more than one dog treat at the bottom of my purse.

-As if it's not bad enough that I have to look at it, but I've caught myself talking to people about Ellie's poop.

-If you look close enough, you can see doggy claw prints have picked up most of my tights.

-I got a virus on my computer as I was trying to print out a coupon for dog food.

-I should have bought stock in Febreeze and carpet cleaner...the two back to back deworming treatments were not kind to my carpet!

-You can now always spot some sort of doggy toy or treat in my grocery bags.

-The installation of a doggy door was honestly a life-changer.

I definitely had a few doubts. Especially the two weeks when I had to get up every 2 hours during the night to take her outside in the freezing cold. Let's just say she did her share of fertilizing. But she's worth every brush of the lint roller and spray of Febreeze when she greets after work or curls up to go to sleep at my feet. From the amount of tail wagging she does, I think she's as happy in her new home as I am having her here!
