Top 10 dog related things never to do
I am going on hiatus, or more technically medical leave. I have some lower circulation problems and am going in to get replacement parts. I will be in the hospital for a week. And then I will lead the life of an invalid for a while. Please keep me in your Readers, Bookmarks, Bloglines, thoughts and prayers. I’ll be back.

1. Don’t include dog poop in the envelope when you are paying a parking ticket. Your name is on the ticket. And your address. The authorities will find you and they don’t think you’re funny. Post
2. Don’t leave an empty pizza box near a stove when you leave your dog at home. No matter what kind of fancy hybrid he is, a dog is a dog and they can’t resist pizza flavored cardboard. Post
3. Don’t take a wiz through a knothole in a fence if you don’t know what is behind it. It may be a playful puppy thinking he has found a squirt toy. Post
4. Dog poop is not free speech. Don’t send it to your congresswoman even if you disagree with her. Post
5. Don’t attack a woman in her home where a Pit Bull roams freely. Your DNA may end up on the dog and you will go to jail. If you are a total scumbag loser, you will never get out. Post
6. Don’t register your dog to vote no matter how easy it is or what message you want to send. And don’t send in the unmarked ballot signed with a paw print. These people have no sense of humor. Post
7. Do not expose yourself to a woman walking a German Shepherd dog who doesn’t like men anyway. Post
8. Do not grab a bag from anyone walking a dog. If you think a minute you will realize what is in it. Post
9. Don’t confuse a Chihuahua with a Pit Bull. Everyone else knows the difference and you will get caught doing whatever stupid thing you did and plan to do. Post
10. Don’t hide in a doghouse when the police are chasing you. It’s the first place a K-9 dog will look. Post
And one more: if a bounty hunter comes looking for you, don’t hide under a pile of clothes in your closet if you have a Chihuahua who loves to play hide and seek. Post
Smart dogs. Dumb humans. Which human takes the top idiot prize?


will miss you jan. do take care of yourself.

You're so funny. I like the pit bull roaming free in woman's home... but I actually chuckled with the "squirt toy" story. LOL
Hope you recover speedily!!
