Please tell me that you have something better to do than read the Stupid
Article below that demanded I write this Blog Posting!
Fella has been known to ask this kind of question:
A dog doesn’t know what a dog
thinks so how do they (the people who wrote this Stupid Article) know what a
dog thinks?
OK, read this little bit of the Stupid Article to prove to yourself that you
need not read all of the Stupid Article…
“Dogs are our loyal companions,
but sometimes our actions can confuse or upset them. Here’s a friendly guide to
understanding the things we do that can annoy our furry friends. Each point
highlights a characteristic that dogs don’t appreciate, and how we can change
our behavior to make them happier.”
“Don’t Appreciate”? ... Did the article really say, “Dogs Don’t Appreciate”?
Can dogs really appreciate? Next thing we will be told We Have Offended Fido.
“Change Our Behavior”? Charlie Brown is visiting with me today and he has this to say...
In my ongoing attempt to have you not read this Stupid Article I will now list for you the 11 things in the Stupid Article that Fido does not like (in Bullet Point Format) ...
- Using Words More Than Body Language
- Hugging Your Dog
- Petting a Dog's Face or Patting Her Head
- Walking Up to a Strange Dog While Looking Her in the Eye
- Not Providing Structure and Rules
- Forcing Your Dog to Interact With Dogs or People She Clearly Doesn't Like
- Going for Walks Without Giving an Opportunity to Explore and Smell
- Keeping a Tight Leash, Literally
- Being Tense
- Being Boring
- Teasing

************
There is a slippery slope here. Next thing we will be in court
being sued by Fido. The next thing after the first next thing we will be
surrounded by disapproving family members saying to us, “How could you! You
have hurt Fido’s feelings!”
When Fido starts biting your feeding hand, we will know for sure
that all is lost!
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Stop and think about these 11 terrible
anti-dog things we are warned not to do. Are you done thinking? If we took these
11 Doggie Dictates seriously, we would spend our day catering to the Fidos of
our world. We would have to quit our jobs because, as sure as shooting, #12
Doggie Dictate is Don’t Ever Leave Your Dog Alone. Yes, we will have to stay
home and hold his paw as tightly as is necessary to assure him that you
appreciate all he has done for you. Never forget, Being a Best Friend Is Hard
Work!
