Hi, this is Callie. Fred’s off on family vacation for a few days, and he asked me to fill in. Can you imagine Fred going on a “family” vacation and not taking me? I guess they don’t allow dogs where he’s going.
Anyway, I’ve been doing an informal survey of my doggie friends, and I’ve discovered the top ten things that dogs would like to change about their owners’ houses.
1. On hot days, there should be a doggie-turn-on switch for the water sprinklers.
2. Dogs should have a place at the dining room table.
3. Dogs should have their own private entrance (and exit) so they don’t have to ask someone for help everytime they want to go pee.
4. There should always be ducks in the swimming pool.
5. Dogs should know where the puppy treats are stored in the pantry.
6. Instead of a doggie water bowl, dogs should have little fountains, or a fake mountain stream to drink from. All dogs prefer to drink fresh, running water.
7. Every property should have at least one fire hydrant.
8. There needs to be a place where a dog can really let loose and run. Dogs need more exercise than most people are willing to give them.
9. It would be really nice if there was an old sofa to chew on. No harm, no foul.
10. Every back yard should have a place where it’s OK to dig. Like really big holes.
11. (For good measure) There should always be room on the bed and the sofa for your dog.
I really enjoy writing these. Keep your cards and letters coming.
Love,
Callie
