OT.........Give me a Dog anyday......!!!!!

[Old Hippy]

26 reasons why men have 2 dogs and not 2 wives:

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are
to see you.

2. Dogs will forgive you for playing with other dogs.

3. If a dog is gorgeous, other dogs don't hate it.

4. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another
dog's name.

5. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on
the floor.

6. A dog's parents never visit.

7. Dogs do not hate their bodies.

8. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get
your point across.

9. Dogs like to do their snooping outside rather than
in your wallet or desk.

10. Dogs seldom outlive you.

11. Dogs can't talk.

12. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to
go 24 hours a day.

13. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.

14. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

15. Another man will seldom steal your dog.

16. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I
died, would you get another dog?"

17. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper
and give them away.

18. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it
without calling you a pervert.

19. A dog won't hold out on you to get a new car.

20. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get
mad. They just think it's interesting.

21. On a car trip, your dog never insists on running
the heater.

22. Dogs don't let magazine articles guide their lives.

23. When your dog gets old, you can have it put to
sleep.

24. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pick-up truck.

25. Dogs are not allowed in Bloomingdale's or
Neiman-Marcus.

And, last but not least:

26. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

Not before laying a guilt trip on you. And when they inspect
you for "suspicion of patting another dog", they *really*
inspect you. This is fun in stereo!

<sigh>

oh? That's not my experience. And they're pretty darn good at
getting their point across!

unfortunately, not true.

no, they just wake you up "I have to go OUT. RIGHT NOW" "I
DON'T CARE if it's snowing."

But I had to get a car to take my dog places -- not allowed on
the bus & taxis won't always take you.

see "guilt trip" above

More stuff about dogs:

If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them;

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride;

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to
be pure ecstasy;

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience;

Let others know when they've invaded your territory;

Take naps;

Stretch before rising;

Run, romp, and play daily;

Thrive on attention and let people touch you;

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do;

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass;

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree;

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body;

No matter how often you're scolded,

don't buy into the guilt thing and pout.run right back and
make friends;

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk;

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm; Stop when you have had enough;

Be loyal;

Never pretend to be something you're not;

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it;

When someone is having a bad day,

be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Unless you're on the Subway....

No subways in Tasmania, in fact there are no passenger
railways at all - except for short run tourist trains.
