Attention All Puppies!
I don’t know who created it but it is definitely worth adding to your fridge.
So print this off and put it on your fridge:
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 maximise 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:
- They live here. You don’t.
- If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That’s why they call it “fur”niture.)
- I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
- 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.

Beautiful.

This one was great! I just adopted a new cocker and she’s my little princess. We’re planning to get a couple of kittens soon and in a few months, my new guide dog will be joining our menagerie. They will be gently but firmly taught the “house rules” i.e. that I’m the leader of our little pack, even above my new husband who isn’t dog savvy. Fortunately, though he hasn’t had dogs since he was a young child, he’s teachable.
Like your comments to non[pet people too. It’s about time somebody put those things together. I may even put them on my door though most of my friends have pets and understand.
Good work and keep those entries coming!

I agree with the first comment. This should be mandatory reading for all dog owners. I got a laugh out of it.
thanks for posting it.

I LOVE YOUR DOG LOGS. THEY ARE SO INFORMATIVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOME ADVICE ON POTTY TRAINING MY 6 MONTH OLD ROTTWEILLER BUT CAN’T FIND IT IN YOUR LOGS. WE LOVE HAVING HIM IN THE HOUSE BUT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY I CAN’T SEEM TO GET HIM TO TELL ME WHEN HE NEEDS TO GO PEE. HE JUST GETS UP AND DOES IT WHERE EVER HE WANTS. WE HAVE RESORTED TO KEEPING HIM OUTSIDE 24/7 WHICH IS ASHAME SINCE WE HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD LAB WHO WAS MUCH EASIER TO TRAIN AND IS USED TO BEING INDOORS. SHE SIMPLY STANDS BY THE FRONT DOOR AND WE KNOW SHE HAS TO GO. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG WITH THIS NEW PUP? AND IS IT TOO LATE?
