A few rules as we gear up for the big day.

Since August 10 is Spoil Your Dog Day I thought I would share a few observations sent to me via e-mail.

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 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.

Before you say a word...

...I am aware I am the coolest cat on this planet up until my dog becomes involved at which point i turn into a total dweeb. Sorry, I can't help it. Cool Tankboy will be back in a bit, I swear.
