Pet Notice

11/30/09 in Locker Room   |   Jess   |   28004 respect

I got this in an email the other day and it gave me a giggle. Those of you with pets can probably share in my amusement - some may not apply (my dogs aren't allowed on the furniture), but some gave me a belly laugh because they're so true. I've included pics of my babies. Enjoy.

The  following was found posted very low on a refrigerator  door:

Dear  Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and  contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food.  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. Racing 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, however. 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 on the other end to maximize space is nothing but  sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no 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 in an attempt to  open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline  attendance is not required.

The proper order for kissing  is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I  cannot stress this enough.

Finally, in fairness, dear  pets, I have posted the following message on the front  door:
TO ALL NON-PET  OWNERS WHO VISIT AND 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) I like my pets a lot better  than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To  me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on  all fours and don'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  people;
(7)    don't smoke or  drink,
(8)    don't want to wear your  clothes,
(9)    don't have to buy the latest  fashions,
(10)   don't need a gazillion dollars for  college and
(11)   if they get pregnant, you can sell  their  children

that was really cute. But if you have hairy pets that are allowed to chill on the furniture with your guests, all i ask is that you let me know in advance because I probably won't come over. I have had several dogs but I usually put them up when I have company .and whether I am home or not, they are not allowed on the furniture or in my bed at all. i love them but they do shed and lick butts and other things and do not bathe everyday.

My "kids" run the house, but they are very friendly and don't mind if company wants to sit on the couch with them.  For guests who are not as sociable as my dogs, I have wooden rocking chairs, which the dogs don't find very comfortable.

lol I totally agree - my cat gets on the furniture of course (I adopted him from a shelter and it's almost impossible to train a cat...thank goodness he isn't a counter or table cat). But, my dogs are NOT allowed on the furniture or to sleep with me. I don't know if they'd try it when I'm not home or not, but I always leave them outside when I go somewhere or board them if I'm going to be gone too long.

I don't put them up when we have company though. They're pretty well behaved and docile (as you can see from the pic lol), and people who visit us know we have animals and love them.

my pet are not allow to sleep on my sofa in my living room.

oh they try. If I come home or even go to the rest room, I come back and my dog Is laying across my leather sofa in the living room (we dont even sit on it) refusing to get down, so i have to go over and drag his big butt off hoping he doesnt stratch or rip it. Now he cant be in the house at all unsupervised since he doesnt know how to act.
