Fun Stuff
Here is just some fun stuff that makes us smile, laugh
and want to share it with you. Please feel free to contact
us if you have anything you'd like to contribute. Enjoy!
We have this printed out and
hanging on our fridge, except
that we crossed it out and
named it
Benjamin's Property Laws.
Plus we added an additional
rule -
If you have and I want it, it's
mine!
Too cute to pass up I found
these in the scrapbooking
section at Wal-mart. And
before I put them in our
Shih-tzu album I thought I'd
post them here because this
is exactly how I would
describe our shih-tzu's and
the puppies we adopt out!
Dear Dogs,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine
and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of 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. Beating 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? Dogs 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 the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a 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, bark, try to turn the
knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the
same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine attendance is
not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog' s butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:

Rules for 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 most people.

4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks
on all fours and doesn' t speak clearly. Dogs are better than kids.  They eat less, don' t ask for
money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don' t
hang out with drug-using friends, don' t smoke or drink, don' t worry about having to buy the
latest fashions, don' t wear your clothes, and don' t need a gazillion dollars for college
- and if they get pregnant, you can sell the children.


Love,

Your Devoted Owner
The following was in an e-mail I received - I thought it
was so funny it had me laughing out loud :)
