"Dog Week"

I meant to end last week's "Dog Week" with this post, but totally forgot. So here it is a week late. You're welcome. Top 10 Pet Peeves Dogs Have About Humans Blaming your farts on me ... not funny ... not funny!! Yelling at me for barking ... It's how I TALK. I'M A DOG YOU IDIOT!! Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway? Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose ... stop it. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain, you nitwit. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth.... you're just jealous. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed the fur? And... If A Dog Were Your Teacher, you would learn stuff like... When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it's in your best interest, practice obedience. Let others know when they've invaded your territory. Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm and stop when you have had enough. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want is buried, dig until you find it. And MOST of all...When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently. Have a great weekend!!! Smiley for the Day:
