Saw this on the internet somewhere and got a laugh out of it:

House Rules:

1. Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog
stays outside in a specially built wooden compartment
named, for very good reason, the dog house.

2. Okay, the dog can enter the house, but only for
short visits or if his own house is under renovation.

3. Okay, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent
basis, provided his dog house can be sold in a yard
sale to a rookie dog owner.

4. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free
and is confined to a comfortable but secure metal cage.

5. Okay, the cage becomes part of a two-for-one deal
along with the dog house in the yard sale, and the dog
can go wherever the hell he pleases.

6. The dog is never allowed on the furniture.

7. Okay, the dog can get on the old furniture but not the
new furniture.

8. Okay, the dog can get up on the new furniture until
it looks like the old furniture and then we'll sell the whole
damn works and buy new furniture...upon which the dog
will most definitely not be allowed.

9. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period.

10. Okay, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed.

11. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's
not allowed under the covers.

12. Okay, the dog can sleep under the covers but not
with his head on the pillow.

13. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you under the
covers with his head on the pillow, but if he snores
he's got to leave the room.

14. Okay, the dog can sleep and snore and have
nightmares in bed, but he's not to come in and sleep
on the couch in the TV room, where I'm now sleeping.
That's just not fair.

15. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaire
as "primary resident," even if it's true.

LOL :D Brilliant and so true !!!

I'm just going to close the computer down, sign off Champdogs FOREVER in case our pack reads this posting (I'm sure they do, with the cats using the mouse for them) :-) :-) :-)

We've already spent a rather large fortune on very nice, fancy block paving - which is now covered by their day-time runs and kennels - which of course have heat lights (and it cost another fortune to run the electricity down there); we've re-tiled the utility room (so that the little darlings can't eat their way through plasterboard/stud walls); we are contemplating buying ANOTHER washing machine, so that their vetbeds can be washed with the frequency of a Chinese laundry; bought HUNDREDS of feed bins AND another freezer so that their royal dognesses have nothing but the best of foods; Granny Purdey (senior labrador dog) has her bed directly in front of the fire and television so that you have to point the remote control around her, Thor claims his place on the Boss's chair when there is rugby/footie on the telly on a Saturday, Loki pulls the duvet down on top of her in the middle of the night if she sneaks upstairs and now Venus & Beau Piddley can just stand and reach the worktops :-(....... I think I'll just give them all the keys, leave the fridge open for them - as long as I go to work & bring home the bacon/goodies - I don't think they'd miss me......would they????

And the cats and kittens?? THEY have a very nice summer house, complete with artistically ripped sanderson-covered 3piece suite - again with heater.......

Me - I have a mortgage :-(

Does seem like they rule the house sometimes, doesn't it? :)

Too true!!!
