1. When you run away in the middle of a perfectly good
   leg humping.
    
2. Blaming your farts on me....not funny.
    
3. Yelling at me for barking....I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU
   IDIOT!
    
4. How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all
   over everything while you're gone. (Have you noticed
   that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat?)
    
5. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff
   out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway?
    
6. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose.....
   stop it.
    
7. Yelling at me for rubbing my ass on your carpet. Why'd
   you buy carpet?
    
8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your
   guests. Sorry but I haven't quite mastered the
   handshake thing yet.
    
9. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we
   both know the truth, you're just jealous.
    
10. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed my fur?
     
11. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you
    know why we chew your stuff when you're not home.
     
12. When you insist on picking up the piles in the yard.
    Do you realize how far behind schedule that puts me?
     
13. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting
    surprised when I freak out every time we go back.
     
14. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a
    dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food
    chain.
     
15. Invisible fences. Why do you insist on screwing with
    me?
     

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........  
 
 1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years.  Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me.  It is crucial for my well-being.
 
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.  You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me.  Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.  Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

 9. Please take care of me when I grow old.  You too, will grow old.  

 10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please.  Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone.  Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.    

Take a moment today to be grateful for your pets.  Enjoy and take good care of them.  Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without them.
 

I will write more later but for now here some pictures until I can collect all of my pictures for my picture page.
