A Letter to my Dogs |
Dear Dogs:
When I say to move, it means go someplace
else, not switch positions with
each other so there are still two dogs
in the way.
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food.
The other
dishes are mine and contain my food.
Please note, placing a paw print in the
middle of my plate and food does not stake
a claim for it becoming your food
and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically
pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by Nascar
and is not a racetrack. Beating me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping
me doesn't help, because I fall
faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king
size bed. I am very sorry about
this. Do not think I will continue to sleep
on the couch to ensure your
comfort. Look at videos of dogs sleeping,
they can actually curl up in a
ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular
to each other stretched out
to the fullest extent possible. I also
know that sticking tails straight
out and having tongues hanging out the other
end to maximize space used is
nothing but doggy sarcasm.
My compact discs are not miniature Frisbees.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom.
If by some
miracle I beat you there and manage to get
the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the
knob, or get your paw under the
edge and try to pull the door open. I must
exit through the same door I
entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms
for years, canine
attendance is not mandatory.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dogs butt.
I cannot
stress this enough. It would be such a simple
change for you.
Rules for non pet owners who visit and like
to complain about our pets.
1. The dog lives here. You don't.
2. If you don't want dog hair on your clothes,
stay off the furniture.
3. I like my dog a lot better than I like
most people.
4. To you, she's a dog. To me, she's an adopted
daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak
clearly.
5. Dogs are better than kids. They eat less,
don't ask for money all the time, are
easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car,
don't hang out with drug using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't
worry about buying the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes,
don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant,
you can sell the pups.
