If you don't want to be greeted with paws and swinging tails,
don't come inside - because dogs live here ...

If loose hair that doesn't match your clothing or furniture bothers you,
don't come inside - because dogs live here ...

If you don't like the feel of a cold nose or a wet tongue,
don't come inside - because dogs live here ...

If you don't want to step over many scattered toys,
don't come inside - because dogs live here....

But if you don't mind all of this ...
you will be instantly loved when you come inside -
because dogs live here.
