Monday's Happenings

Yesterday was pet therapy night; Josie had a ‘spoiled’ T-shirt for visiting. Staff and patients seem to really enjoy her costumes. I am running out of costume ideas. I have lots of costumes for Christmas and some for Halloween but not that many for the rest of the year. There is only so many times you can make Josie wear a clown costume or cute t-shirts that are best warn in spring

Caillee received her American championship certificate in the mail today. I did the mistake of acting slightly more excited about her certificate than my husband Graphic Communication certificate with honours no less! Oops.

Dear Girls, please read this ASAP

Dear Josie and Cailleach:
(My little Bichon Bolognese and my little Bichon Havanese)

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.

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 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, bark, and 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 attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me and then go smell the other dog's butt; I cannot stress this enough!

Mom

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

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

Please read the following very carefully:

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. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.

4. 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 call me rude names.

Remember: Dogs are better than kids because they:

1. Eat less

2. Don't ask for money all the time

3. Are easier to train

4. Usually come when called

5. Never drive your car

6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends

7. Don't smoke or drink

8. Don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions

9. Don't wear your clothes

10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college,
