"Dear Dogs"
The dishes with the paw prints 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 one of my plates 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 can fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed.  I am very sorry for this.  Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch
to ensure you comfort.  Dogs can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.  It ins not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each
other stretched to the fullest extent possible.  I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the
other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom.  If for some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door
shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine bark, try to turn the know or get your paw under the edge and try and pull the door
open.  I must exit through the same door I entered.  Also, I have been using the bathroom for years---dog attendance is not
required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog's butt.  I cannot stress that enough!!!!!

My Dog
My dogs sleep about 20 hours a day.
Meals and housing are provided at not cost to them.
They visit the doctor once a year for their checkups, and again if any medical needs arise.
For this they pay nothing, and nothing is required of them.
They live in a nice neighborhood in houses that are much larger than they need, but they
are not requiredto do any upkeep.
If they make a mess, someone else cleans it up.
They have their choices of luxurious places to sleep.
They receive these accommodations absolutely free.  They are living like kings and queens
and have absolutely no expenses whatsoever.   All of their costs are picked up by others who
go out and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all of this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks......Holy
s#!t.......my dogs are Democrats!

Before I had dogs.....
~I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.
~My house could be carpeted instead of tiled or wood floors.
~All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture and cars would be free of hair.
~When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through furry bodies who beat me there.        
~I could sit on the couch or bed the way I wanted, with out taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would
need to get comfortable.
~I WOULD HAVE MONEY, AND NO GUILT TO GO ON  A REAL VACATION.
~I would not be on first name basis with 4 veterinarians as I put their yet unborn grandkids through college.
~The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, leave it alone,  get out of my flowerbed,
and you're supposed to shake out the water right after you get out of the pond and not wait until you're standing right next
to me..
~I would not talk "baby talk" to anyone other than my grandkids.
~My house would not look like a day care center, with toys everywhere.
~I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, T-R-E-A-T, C-O-O-K-I-E.
~I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
~I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much.
~I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of the dreaded "mud" season.
~I would not have to answer the question, "Why do you have so many dogs?" from people who will never have the joy in their
lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get.
~How EMPTY my life would be.........Thank God for my Dogs....

how to lick a bowl...
Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog.....
1.  I will not eat the cat food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2.  I will not roll on dead armadillos, rabbits, opossums, seagulls, fish, etc. just because I like they way
they smell.
3.  The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4.  The sofa is not a "face towel".
5.  The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6.  I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
7.  Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way to say "hello".
8.  I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table.
9.  I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before I enter the house---not after.
10.  I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
11.  I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12.  The cat is not a "squeaky toy" so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good
thing.
Love, the dog
P.S.  When I get to Heaven, will I get my testicles back?
