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,
bark, howl, 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.
