You Know You Have a Deaf Dog When…

Published on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 by Katherine

Halloween and Fourth of July? No problem!
You can sneak things in to the house and your dog will never know.
The sound of the refrigerator? No problem!
You find yourself being silent around ALL animals.
NOTHING goes undetected by your dog’s bionic sniffer.
Loose dog following behind you? No problem!
Dogs barking from across the street? No problem!
The scratch on your dog’s nose attests to the fact that she can’t hear a cat hiss.
Your neighbors think you are always angry, seeing you stomp your foot every time you walk in the house.
No dog greets you at the door. Rather, you begin a game of, “Where is the dog?”
“Excuse me, do you have experience training a deaf dog?” “Ok, thank you.”
“Excuse me, do you have experience training a deaf dog?” “Ok, thank you.”
“Excuse me, do you have experience training a deaf dog?” “Ok, thank you.”
No wait, the dog is asleep! Don’t touch her whatever you… LOUD STARTLED BARK!
You become bilingual quickly. In sign language.
“Mom, what is the sign for potty?”
Emma! Come here Emma! Emaaaa…….. oh yea.
You don’t have to spell the word B-A-T-H.
