Dear Beloved Pets:

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.
Dear Beloved
Pets
(cont.)
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, bark, 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 mandatory. The proper order is,
kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress
this enough!
To return the kindness of your obedience, my dear pets, I have posted
the following on our front door so visitors to our home know what the
rules are here:
Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and 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, they are animals. To
me, they are adopted children who are short, hairy and walk on all
fours. Although they don't speak clearly, they communicate extremely
well.
-
Dogs and cats are better than
kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to
train, usually come when called (this does not apply to cats), never
drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or
drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don't wear
your clothes, and don't need a gazillion dollars for college.
Also, if they get pregnant, you can sell their kids.
