Personal Development from a Dog’s Perspective
The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff. - I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m lying under the coffee table.
- I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, behind the sofa or under the bed.
- I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
- I will not eat the cats’ food–before they eat it or after they throw it up.
- I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to get sick.
- I will not throw up in the car.
- I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. just because I like the way they smell.
- “Kitty box crunchies”–although they are tasty–are not food.
- I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing.
- The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
- I will not chew my human’s toothbrush and not tell them.
- I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people will think I am hemorrhaging.
- When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it’s raining outside.
- We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV.
- I will not steal my mom’s underwear and dance all over the backyard with it.
- The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are mom & dad’s laps.
- My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
- I will not bite the officer’s hand when he reaches in for mom’s driver’s license and car registration.
- I will not play tug-of-war with dad’s underwear when he’s on the toilet.
- I will not use “roll around in the dirt” as an option just after getting a bath.
- Sticking my nose into someone’s crotch is not an acceptable way of saying hello.
- I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
- The toilet bowl is not a never-ending water supply and just because the water is blue, it doesn’t mean it is cleaner.
- 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.
