Silly dog questions... - Page 2

Does he dive in after them? Ours drop kongs in the water dish in the house. Then fish them out and dump water out all over. :)

Swooshing tennis balls in the toilet is great fun at our place. They know it'll get me up and running at them anyway.

Letter To My Pets: When I say to move, it means to go someplace else, not to switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in my way. The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. All other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note that placing your paw print in the middle of MY plate and food does not stake a claim making it YOUR plate and food. 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 in your quest to reach the bottom first, 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 that I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to one another,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 animal 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, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge of the door and try to pull it open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Honest. Also, I have been using the bathroom by myself for quite some time - canine or feline attendance is not mandatory. I can't stress this one enough - kiss me, THEN go smell the other dog's/cat's behind. To pacify you, my dear companions, I have posted the following notice on our front door: Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and then Complain AboutOur Pets - 1. The pets live here. You don't. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why it's call "fur"niture.) 3. To you, our pets are just animals. To us, they are> adopted sons/daughters who happen to be hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. 4. Dogs and cats are better than kids because: they don't ask for money all the time, they are easier to train, they usually come when called, they don't hang out with drug-using friends, they don't need a gazillion dollars for a college education, and - if they get pregnant, you can sell the children!

Mine prefers the delicate taste of cat poop!

On a farm all poo is fair game. I gave up correcting cause if you can't do it consistantly theirs no point. Just don't come and expect a kiss. I had one dog that insisted on picking the cat up and dropping her in a 5 gal. water container. The suprising thing to me was that the cat was content to be carried around by him.

Silly question for today...Do dogs purposly spread their poop out into 6 small drops, instead of one nice easy to cleanup turd?

You cant get any sillier than this! If you are using scoops they go in 1 pile, if your using latex or rubber gloves then they spread it out into little trails.

Baden is terrible about making as many piles as he can for me. Lets see how much gravel we can make mom throw away today!

Ranchinglady, I don't post much but had to this time to say that your letter made my day! By the way, my little guy thinks he's really sneaky when he makes a visit to the cat box for snacks...unfortunately we use clumping kitty litter. Nothing LESS conspicuous than clumping kitty litter stuck to a wet puppy nose :)

I think eating the clumping litter can be VERY harmful to a dog? Check with the vet. Dogs hate the clean water because it tastes and smells like cleaner. Their senses are much stronger than our own.
