If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never says it’s not quite as good as his mother made it…then get a dog.

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want…then get a dog

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies…then get a dog.


If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores…then get a dog.


If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually…then get a dog

But, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness.

TEN PET PEEVES (From the Dog)

1. Blaming your farts on me...not funny...not funny at all!!
2. Yelling at me for barking…I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG, YOU IDIOT!
3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?
4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it!
5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
6. The slight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Woo Who, what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!
8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
9. Dog sweaters. Hello!! Haven't you noticed the fur?
10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.
    

Now lay off me on some of these things, we both know whose boss here!! You don't see ME picking up your poop do ya??
