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, behind the sofa or under the bed.

  4. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.  

  5. I will not eat the cat's food, before they eat it or after they throw it up.

  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 roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. just because I like the way they smell.

  8. I will not throw up in the car.

  9. "Kitty box crunchies", although they are tasty, are not food.

  10. I will not eat any more Kleenex or 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 human's toothbrush and not tell them.

  13. I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not 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 mom's underwear and dance all over with it.

  17. The sofa is not a face towel.  Neither are mom & 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 mot 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 fart in my owners face while sleeping on the pillow next to their head.

  26. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt 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 crotch when company is over.

  29. Suddenly turning around and smelling my butt 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.
