ETIQUETTE

Almost all doggies love car rides! Here are some tricks to help you get them more often.

First, practice making "sad buppie eyes" in front of the mirror. It will get you almost anything you want - but especially car rides.

When the car keys come out, make sure you look hopeful.

When you are sure you're going along, be the first one to the car, even if it means tripping someone along the way. If you barrel into the back of their knees, they will fall down, making it easier to accomplish your goal.

At this point, don't be discouraged , "Bad Dog" never applies to you.

OK, you're in! Mark your spot.... let all other doggies know it's your car by putting lots of nose prints on the window.

You'll be able to get there faster if you climb into the front seat of the car. Hoomins love to keep pushing you back into the back seat. Make them practice until they get it perfect.

If you pant loudly enough, they'll turn on the air conditioning. At this point, stick your nose right up against the vent and whimper.

If it's a long ride and you start getting bored,... bark at something.... loudly. Hoomins love the sound of our voices. This is a good time for them to learn that giving you something tasty to put in your mouth will make you stop barking.

Which leads us to... food. Fast food drive thru's have an unending supply of french fries. Be sure to eat more than your fair share. Not as good as drive-up windows, but still ok, are drive-up bank tellers. They almost always give you a treat if you look hopeful.

And finally, never let your hoomins leave you alone in the car. As soon as they walk away, hide so they can't see you from the store window. They will panic and rush back to make sure you're alright!

"Creation"

When God had made the earth and sky, the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals the fish, the birds and bees. And when at last He’d finished not one was quite the same. He said “I’ll walk this world of mine and give each one a name”. And so He traveled far and wide and everywhere He went, a little creature followed Him until its strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth
and in the Sky and Sea, the little creature said “Dear Lord,
there’s not one left for me.” Kindly the Father said to him
“I’ve left you to the end. I’ve turned my own name back to front And called you DOG, my friend.”
