The dogs have decided on their New Year's resolutions.
Smitten's:
1. Pee on more neighbours' front yards. The scent of my pee will surely increase property values around here.
2. Get more belly rubs. Helps make my humans feel like they're accomplishing something.
3. Beg for more snacks. I don't want my humans to get too fat so I'm offering to eat their bad food for them.
4. Bark at the door more. My humans don't need any more friends visiting. They've got me and that's enough. More than they deserve enough.
5. Fight with Simone more. She's such a punk ass bitch.
6. Run away faster when it's bath time. Self-explanatory.
7. Climb on the furniture more, especially when wet. It helps me dry off quicker and the cushions on the couch smell much better afterwards.
8. Scarf down meals faster - must beat Simone. The winner gets to help the loser finish their meal - at least that's the way it should work.
9. Do a better job of leading on walks. My humans never go where I want to go so I always have to show them. They're not very smart.
10. Stop taking "No" for an answer. My hypnotic powers will overcome the humans' negativity.
Simone's:
1. Eat more
2. Sleep more
3. Fart more
4. Disco dance more
5. Get more belly rubs
6. Push Smitten out of the way when begging for snacks
7. Pull out more of Smitten's hair when fighting with her
8. Cry louder when getting nails clipped
9. Find hiding spot when called to get ears cleaned
10. What does "No!" mean and what's the difference between "No!" and "No! No! No! No! No!"?
I *love* that picture of Simone with Smitten's hair. It's like a little cloud of furry smoke is puffing out of her mouth!
ReplyDeleteJust a note to tell you how much I've enjoyed your blog (and the dogs!) this year. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your wonderful insight and photos about pound dogs and of course of Smitten and Simone. You've inspired me to start volunteering at a shelter. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, and all of your posts Fred. Every morning as I brew my coffee at 7-ish a.m., I open my email and "bing!", there's the email from Pound Dogs. I'm an addict. And I love how my 3 pooches react whether I'm laughing or crying daily over my Pound-Dogs-Coffee experience.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all of ya.
This post is just one Big Happy and quite made my day! Your sensitivity and understanding of dogs is one of the reasons why I read your blog. (You're an awesome writer -- that's the other reason.)
ReplyDeleteMitzi the Pound Dog sends her greetings and would like to add that her New Year's resolution is to micro-manage the cats better. Especially when that big Fat One with the bushy tail dares to play with one of the DOG toys -- the nerve!!!
Happy New Year to the four of you from The Purple Magpie and her four-legged trio in California!
