Dear God, from the dog. . . .
Dear God:. . .Is it on purpose our names are the same, only reversed?
*Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom if ever, smell one another?
*When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?
*Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang,
the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a Dog?
How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride!
Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?
*If a Dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad Dog?
*We Dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
*Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Let me give you a list of just some of the things that I must remember to be a good Dog:
1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it, or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.
8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table.
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the capet.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.P.S. Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

"JUST A DOG"
I have seen this story written by an anonymous author several times and it really hits the heart of things: I wish I could thank the author.
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a dog. "
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog. "
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human. "
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."
