To some people, a dog is just a dog. He's man's best friend, but he's still a dog. To others, and you know who you are, your dog is your baby, your child, your savior, your #1 companion.

And you know just how to treat him like the special dog he is, although others might think you spoil him.

How to tell? Take a look at these:

Your Dog Is Spoiled If...

... you cancel your business trip because your pup threw up... once.

... your dog is in your annual formal family portrait, and you schedule the appointment for the sitting to be after his nap time.

... you have a doggie cam set up at home so you can watch your little snuggly-wuggly play with the pet sitter while you're at work.

... you spend as much time shopping for your dog's house as you did your own house.

... your poochy has her own Christmas gift list and you email it to your extended family just in case they want to know what to get her.

... you plan your vacation around hotel destinations that allow dogs in the room, and preferably have a doggy daycare and spa. P.S. These rooms that allow dogs are not old skanky smoking-used-to-be-allowed rooms.

... you don't make a big life decision until after you've had a heart-to-heart with your #1 companion. After all, she really knows how to listen to you.

... you buy Precious an outfit because it looks just like yours!

... your mailbox is constantly full of dog supply catalogs and they know you by name when you call to place an order.

... you made one of those calendars with your photographs and each month features a different picture of your handsome 4-legged friend.

... you've taken a class in dog grooming just so you could discuss exactly what you want and expect when you take her to the groomer's.

... you go to great pains to set up a doggie obstacle course in your basement so she has something to do when she's bored.

... you provide the pet sitter, whom you've been using for 2 years now, with a detailed 4 page note before you leave town for the weekend.

Sooo.... maybe your dog is spoiled a wee bit? As long as he is safe, healthy, and happy, and you are happy, does it really matter? If all is okay, then go ahead and spoil him!
