Sometimes, I swear it really seems as if dogs have all the luck! I mean what do they need to do at home? Just sit around for hours doing nothing (how do they do that!?), they never brush their teeth (and rarely have issues), don't have to shave.....


If the phrase "It's a dog's life" means this, then I want to have a dog's life too!

It's amazing what Seeing eye dogs can do and how they lead their owners around. They lead their owner around obstacles and often become their best friends.

Once in a while however, it's nice to joke about them. Like the one below:

A blind man walks into a hardware store with his seeing eye dog...
Very briskly, the man makes his way to the center of the store, and stops. Without hesitation, the man picks his dog up by its leash, and begins spin the dog around over his head. Seeing the poor pooch flying around the air, the store managers quickly makes his way over to the blind man. Without pause, the manager asks the gentleman if he can help. Without concern, the blind man replies, "Nope, just looking around."

Let's cap off today with another puppy related item. It's not easy to have puppy sit still when you're doing something complex like taking his/her photograph. This is approximately what you have do:

1. Remove film from box and load camera.

4. Choose a suitable background for photo.

5. Mount camera on tripod and focus.

6. Find puppy and take dirty sock from mouth.

7. Place puppy in pre-focused spot and return to camera.

8. Forget about spot and crawl after puppy on knees.

9. Focus with one hand and fend off puppy with other hand.

10. Get tissue and clean nose print from lens.

11. Put cat outside and put peroxide on the scratch on puppy's nose.

13. Put magazines back on coffee table.

14. Try to get puppy's attention by squeaking toy over your head.

15. Replace your glasses and check camera for damage.

16. Jump up in time to grab puppy by scruff of neck and say, "No, outside! No, outside!"

17. Clean up mess.

18. Sit back in chair with lemonade and resolve to teach puppy "sit" and "stay" the first thing in the morning.

Most of us think that having your dog neutered is a convenience. That is certainly true, but what about the dog himself? You think he enjoys having his nuts chopped off?

Here is where he gets his revenge:

As an elderly lady sat on her front porch reflecting on her long life, a Fairy Godmother suddenly appeared and offered to fulfill three wishes for her.

"Well," said the woman, "I guess I'd like to be rich."
POOF: The Fairy Godmother turned her rocking chair into solid gold.

"And I wouldn't mind being a young and beautiful princess."
POOF: The Fairy Godmother turned the old woman into an exquisite young princess, with a priceless crown of jewels.

"Your third wish?" asked the Fairy Godmother. "Could you possibly turn my wonderful dog into a handsome prince?"
POOF: There, in front stood the most handsome young man anyone had ever seen. She stared at him in awe, completely smitten.

As he came toward her, her knees weakened. He bent down, brushing his lips across her ear as he whispered, "I bet you are sorry you had me neutered."

Eat your heart out lady!

So who are you to say I'm not to chew the curtain eh? What that you say? It's yours? I see! Well human, here are the rules. Remember them well!

When you live in the world of dogs, you can't but help imagine what their world would be like if they faced the same issues that we do. For us, the world of smell is almost non-existent. Imagine how sophisticated aroma therapy would be if dogs were allowed to set the rules! Below, is a glimpse of what it would be like!
