Seen this? I saw it on a website a long time ago. I printed it out in large bold letters and have it hanging on my wall:
"Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets"
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.(That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy and walks on all fours. Although they don't speak clearly, they communicate extremely well.
5. Dogs and cats are better than kids because...
- they eat less
- don't ask for money all the time
- are easier to train and usually come when called (this does not apply to cats)
- never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink
- don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions and don't wear your clothes
- don't need a gazillion dollars for college
- if they get pregnant, you can sell the children!!
