PET RULES

To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.

Dear Dogs and Cats,



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 sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. 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 is nothing but sarcasm.

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, meow, 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. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:


To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:


1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Oh, how cute! I've seen that before but it's been awhile. That's exactly how I feel about my babies. Was 3 cats, now 2. (one was old) and one dog that makes herself out to be a bitch but is the biggest baby. :paw::doggie::paw:

Dogs have masters.
Cats keep staff.

I've seen that original post before and it is cute--and so much on the mark--and to Mage--I liked yours too--I love my little fur people---right now I just have kitties--but am in the investigation mode about what kind of canine I am going to add to the mix one of these days.


Woooooffff!!!

'Newbie and I have one of each and Mage was so very correct, cuz to our cat, Tasha, we are just good for taking care of her whims.....mostly feeding her or giving her treats and cleaning her litterbox. Bella, our Dachshund, thinks we walk on air...but I SOOOOO especially relate to the "going to the bathroom by myself" bit! OMG!!! I have had Tasha for almost 10 years now and up until we got Bella, I would go to the bathroom and either she would follow me in or stick her paws underneath the door trying to get in. Now, with Bella, I have not gone to the bathroom by myself except for maybe twice since we got her (in June of 2007!)...*sigh* (Sorry if that was TMI, but DAYUM......I guess she thinks since we walk her outside to do her "doggy business" and "supervise", we need the same?!?) LMAO!!!:rolleyes: Love 'em both to bits, tho, and since we're not going to have human children together (*whew!*), they ARE our children! Tasha acts like an annoyed big sister when Bella comes up to her and wants to play and also has to "supervise" what Bella's doing half the time and then also runs and tells me "all about it" if she "sees" Bella doing something she doesn't like! It's hysterical....

OK, I know you all now think I've gone off the deep end, so I'll stop here LOL:tong:

It is funny---Buddy--who is my newest cat---he has to come see me when I go to the bathroom--at some point Rainbow does too and that was the same for Crayola who died last month----they just have to know what the heck you are doing!!!


I am glad its not just my experience with the cats!!

It is too funny!!!!

1) For dogs - you missed the bit about cow pats and deer droppings (in fact almost any herbivore crap) and then wanting to tell you that they appreciate you.

2) For cats - you missed the thing about bringing home half dead animals (seemingly size irrelevant) with a demand for Cordon Blue preparation

Verdict - brill (regardless even if not new).
