IT'S A DOG'S LIFE
____________________________________
DOGGY
DEFINITIONS
LEASH:
>======<
A strap
which attaches to your collar, enabling you
to lead
your person where you want him/her to go.
DOG BED:
>========<
Any soft,
clean surface, such as the white bedspread
in the
guest room or the newly upholstered couch in
the living
room.
DROOL:
>======<
Is what
you do when your persons have food and you don't.
To do this
properly you must sit as close as you can and
look sad
and let the drool fall to the floor, or better yet, on their laps.
SNIFF:
>======<
A social
custom to use when you greet other dogs. Place
your nose
as close as you can to the other dog's rear end
and inhale
deeply, repeat several times, or until your person
makes you
stop. This can also be done to human's crotches.
GARBAGE
CAN:
>=============<
A container
which your neighbors put out once a week to
test your
ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and
try to
push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right
you are
rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones
to consume
and moldy crusts of bread.
BICYCLES:
>==========<
Two-wheeled
exercise machines, invented for dogs to control
body fat.
To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind
a bush
and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards;
the person
then swerves and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.
DEAFNESS:
>=========<
This is
a malady which affects dogs when their person want them
in and
they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the
person,
then running in the opposite direction, or lying down.
THUNDER:
>=========<
This is
a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans
remain
amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary
to warn
them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting,
rolling
your eyes wildly, and following at their heels.
WASTEBASKET:
>============<
This is
a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes, and old candy
wrappers.
When you get bored, turn over the basket and strew
the papers
all over the house until your person comes home
SOFAS:
>=====<
Are to
dogs like napkins are to people. After eating it is polite to
run up
and down the front of the sofa and wipe your whiskers clean.
BATH:
>=====<
This is
a process by which the humans drench the floor, walls and
themselves.
You can help by shaking vigorously and frequently.
>=====<
The best
way to get your human's attention when they
are drinking
a fresh cup of coffee or tea.
GOOSE BUMP:
>==========<
A maneuver
to use as a last resort when the Regular Bump
doesn't
get the attention you require..... especially effective when
combined
with The Sniff. See above.
LOVE:
>======<
Is a feeling
of intense affection, given freely and without
restriction.
The best way you can show your love is to wag
your tail.
If you're lucky, a human will love you in return.
If not,
you can always sniff their crotches.

12,000,000 unwanted animals in the US last year. If you love
dogs
please get a mutt or a registered breed but don't ignore this problem.
Spay
or
neuter now and if you breed, only do so as a responsible professional who
also
rescues.
