Things I must remember as a dog:
1. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
2. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under
the coffee table.
3. I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, sofa or under the bed.
4. I will not eat the cats' food before they can eat it or after they
throw it up.
5. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
6. I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet
in the house when I am about to get sick.
7. I will not throw up in the car.
8. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish crabs, etc., just because
I like the way it smells.
9. I will not eat "kitty box crunches" although they are tasty.
10. I will not eat any more Kleenex/napkins and then redeposit them
in the backyard after processing.
11. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
12. I will not chew my humans' toothbrush and not tell them.
13. I will not chew crayons or pens, especially the red ones, or my
people will think I am hemorrhaging.
14. When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled
down when it's raining outside.
15. We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one
on TV.
16. I will not steal my moms' underwear and dance all over the backyard
with it.
17. The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are Mom and Dad's laps.
18. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
19. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for mom's
driver's license and car registration.
20. I will not play tug-of-war with dad's underwear when he's on the
toilet.
21. I will not eat mint flavored dental floss out of the bathroom garbage
to avoid having a string hanging out of my butt.
22. I will not use "roll around in the dirt" as an option
after just getting a bath.
23. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way
of saying hello.
24. I will not hump on any person's leg just because I thought it was
the right thing to do.
25. I will not pass gas in my owner's face while sleeping on the pillow
next to their head.
26. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my rear-end
across the carpet.
27. The toilet bowl is not a never ending water supply and just because
the water is blue, it doesn't mean it is cleaner.
28. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my private
areas when company is over.
29. Suddenly turning around and smelling my rear-end can quickly clear
a room.
30. The cat is not a squeaky toy so when I play with him and he makes
that noise, it's usually not a good thing.
Didn't know there was so much to remember as a dog, did ya?
