There are at least two types of people in this world. One is a person who is a absolute dog lover. The other type is someone who owns a dog or two or three. I myself has four dogs back at home in Hartsville. I have three little ankle biters and a lap who thinks he's a little ankle biter as well. I also have friends that do not have animals but do share a love for them. However, there are some differences between a dog lover and a dog owner. Some are fun and some are....well not so much.

1. A dog lover will 9 out of 10 have the bed to themselves. However, a dog owner will mostly likely be fighting with their dog for bed space.

2. A dog lover will usually has peace and quiet in their home. While a dog owner will usually have the sweet serenity of a squeaky toy.

3. You think you're going to get some private time? HA! A dog will always follow you no matter where you go, such as the bathroom.

4. You're house will never be clean. You have dog hair, toys, but also if you're dogs are like mine, toilet paper EVERYWHERE!

5. Let it be known that dogs usually love saying hello with their face. Those commercials that you see the dog sitting by the door when their owner comes in is a lie.

6. A dog lover will wake up to the sunshine coming through their window. A dog owner will wake up to their dog in their face (breathing and/or licking it)

Whether you are a dog owner or a dog lover, there are negatives and positives in both. However, based on my experiences, there is nothing better than having some fur babies to make your day amazing.
