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.

(The same applies to cats, except they ignore you until you are
asleep.)

I appreciate that. Should I apologize for taking up the bandwidth with duplicate info? I don't think it's necessary, but I will if it's customary here.

(Actually, I'm not that much of a newbie... just a new handle since I mucked up royally somehow and couldn't get logged back in with the old one.)

You're right - not necessary. And now I know why you haven't picked up the PM I sent you a couple of weeks ago. :lol:

I was just wondering where you'd gotten off to so I was hoping you had your email notification on and would see that someone missed you. :flowers:

Thanks. 'Twas a rough six weeks or so. I'm glad to have the time & ability to return.

Now if I could just find excellent Mexican food besides what I cook myself. Do you know how much work it is to clean up after preparing a Mexican meal? :bandit: (I know. Total non sequitur. I'm nothing if not, uh, entertaining?)
