dog manners… does your dog leave chewing gum on the bedpost overnight?

do dogs have manners or strange manners? us humans have different manners…

for instance, recently cici insisted that I walk her far from our campsite so that she could fart 3-4 times one evening when it was pitch black outside, (appreciated that in a way) yet she enjoys sleeping with her face in my face, breathing on me and does not mind licking my face directly after licking her tush… and then there are the polka dot kisses in my soup… lick lick… ugh, don’t lick my food, dog, and yes, that is cici doing licky by’s, she loves to lick people and strangers feet… do I really want my girl to lick people’s feet? most people don’t mind… but I do…

isn’t it enough that they sniff one another’s butts why must they chew on each other’s paws while playing?

does your dog have weird manners? best and worst manners wins…

better yet, do you have a photo of your dog’s manners?

and since we’re talking silly dog manners, thanks to Joan Stewart Publicity Hound for this joke…

the k9 handbook, part 2…

Stop and sniff everything you pass by, you never know what tantalizing smell you might miss if you don’t (stop and smell the roses but be careful of the thorns)… 

When your human tells you to do something, take your time, mosey and look around, then when the mood strikes, highttail it over with tail at full wag (to give tail lash) and tongue at slobbery lick… this will ensure food, treats, and/or belly rubs… 

When you are not supposed to do something, do it when your human leaves the room or the house, then pretend  innocence… (see first post about K9 handbook)

Do It Now… You never know when you might get another chance to eat her shoes, address book, eyeglasses, your cone, cardboard, books, towels, the garbage and strew paper, plastic, and create mayhem all over the house again.

If you’re wondering about that shadow or reflection in the mirror, just better bark and growl at it to play it safe. Could be another dog in the neighborhood.

Scoot your butt on the grass every chance you get.

Eat the grass and the bugs in the yard, yum. Tasty little critters.

Lick, slobber, chew, ignore and kick your human to keep them in line and show them who is boss of the house.

When you are done eating, look pathetic, maybe they will give you more food or treats. If in doubt, beg with sad eyes and stare intently at whatever they are eating.

Chase the cat, skunk, birds for fun.

Keep your human guessing… never let them know what you are really up to.

Eat poop, it’s good for you.
