I remember the piano recitals, the school plays, the honor society inductions – all sources of maternal pride and shit-eating grins (and modest blushing). I got that same feeling this morning when I read this article. My little website is mentioned!! grin, why shucks!, grin

a funny email I received …

Dear Dogs and Cats,

When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions
with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The
other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw
print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for
it becoming your food and dish.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Beating me to the bottom is not the objective. Tripping me doesn’t
help, because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry
about this. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping… they
can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep
perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent
possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having
tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing
but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If
by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it
is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get you paw
under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the
same door I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for
years, canine attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell other dogs’ butt. I
cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.

and here is another quiz!Carmel loves quizzes!

You are bamboo.
Warm, cozy, and thoughtful, you take your time and
enjoy how things feel, smell, and taste. You
love the craft and beauty of traditional
things, and you value the comfort and
experience of knitting as much as the results.
But while you are reveling in your warm cozies,
don’t get stuck. Warm is wonderful, but so is
the whole wide world!

What kind of knitting needles are you?
