People who start to resemble their pets

We knew it would happen.

One day we would start to resemble our pets. The changes started slowly. Our feet pads started to darken, and the toenails became more narrow, almost clawlike. The dewclaw on our heel was somewhat shocking at first. It really made a mess of my Ralph Lauren socks.
Later the body hair became more prevalent, and the tail- well it was cute at first, and don't let them tell you it doesn't have its benefits, but a desk job is hell for someone with a tail.
At least our noses are wet, and they continue to feed us regularly. I can get used to this lifestyle. Bones R Us. Running in the yard. Humping the occasional leg. You get the picture. Down. Down.... What are they talking about? So I get a little excited at times.
Ok I admit it. I did chew my brother in laws watch strap, but you know, time really flies when you're living a dog's life. I will pause now for reflections. I said reflections, not genuflections. Leg lifting is not reflections. OK I'll go lie in the corner. Gee, some people.
